That's the great thing about the Fractal world! Easy to try and see what works for you... Or even change it as desired

Here is a short video of this @York Audio preset on scene 3 and 4 (I did rearrange the order of scenes). These scenes work perfect for songs like The Boys Are Back In Town, Fortune Son, Fool For Your Lovin', Heading Out To The Highway, and more.
It sounded, felt, and performed amazingly. Lots of definition in the mix without any FOH tweaking. It is a keeper.
Thanks! I’m starting to get requests for a full pack of this cab/speaker combo. I’m just glad it’s resonating with people.
Did you bypass the IR going into the real cab? I bet that sounded great. I need to try one of those powerstage amps sometime.
Sign me up!
I feel your pain when it comes to FRFR cabs. I’ve thought about working with my cabinet builder to make one that actually sounds good.
DO IT!!!
This would be amazing if you did
I’d want to try making 1x12 and 2x12 options. The key is to construct the cabinet in a way that minimizes internal resonance so what you put into it comes out with more accuracy and isn’t altered by the cabinet itself. The first prototypes would probably be made of MDF since it’s stiff and doesn’t resonate a lot and line it with an healthy amount of internal insulation kinda like a high end studio monitor or PA cabinet. After that, it’s about finding the right driver with a neutral response.
It probably wouldn’t be powered since that would drive up the cost considerably. I’ve got a few power amps to try with it to see how different they all sound and probably need to buy some cheaper “consumer grade” options as well for the testing. The amps I use are on the pricier side, so I’d want to make something that also works well with more cost-effective units. Who knows? That could change, and I just thought about a potential partnership while writing this.
A powered option would be great IMO. Understood if you don't want to push that on everyone who's interested, but it's super handy
I’m glad you’re liking the preset and cab! For Dual Rec tones, I normally go with the Recto 1 Red model and start with Bass 5, Mid 7, Treble 5, Presence 5, MV 2, and Gain 5.5 and tweak from there. Try it with the 4x12 Recto Large Impedance Curve and dial it in from there. I normally don’t boost high gain amps, but I would try either the TS9 if you want to tighten the low end a lot or the LED Preamp if you want a great neutral boost (you can cut lows in that block if you want it tighter without adding the honk of a Tube Screamer).
