Spent a few hours today going back and forth between FRFR, a Marshall 2x12 w/ V30s, a Marshall 4x12 with same speakers, and stock Dual Rectifier 4x12 (whatever Mesa loads in those).
I actually prefer FRFR, even with a bass and drummer chugging along and the FRFR setup (I have some EVs and recently picked up the Friedman unit) is my sole source of volume.
Mentally I feel like I should like the regular guitar cabs better, but I truly don’t. I find it interesting how working in a non-traditional environment (Axe and FRFR) has led me to abandon some preconceived notions about tone and listen more objectively.
