I'm still trying to get FRFR....but I just don't have any idea why things sound the way they do, haha.
I'm currently kind of AB-ing my FRFR rig to my pedals/amp rig.
I'm running a Deluxe reverb with volume at 3.5, bass @ 5, and treble @ 5.
Then, I'm running my axe into a matrix Q12a.
The FRFR just has different frequencies, particularly a MUCH, MUCH, more pronounced midrange. For example, when I pick hard on the D string, open, I get a really high pitched frequency with much more bite, per se, in the FRFR than I do through the combo amp.
I'm literally running my mids and treble of my amp models at 2.5 & 2.5, with low prescense, AND running a PEQ pre-cab with high and low passes (blocking).
Yet I get this SUPER pronounced, mid range & trebly bite.
I'm running a very bright guitar, but I've never thought of my Deluxe reverb as being super dark; everything is just so much harsher in the FRFR and I'm not really sure how to get rid of some of these frequencies, considering I'm already running a PEQ and actually EQing everything super low. (every amp, I usually leave controls around 5. but with my axe and FRFR, leaving things at 5 is insanely bright)
Amp models I'm trying to use are the Fender Double verb, deluxe verb, and Friedman BE.
What do you guys think? This gig is a duo thing, and it's really laid back, so I thought about bringing my Axe and trying to really dial in my tones between our sets/even songs, but yeah. Any tips on the whole FRFR thing? I know I'm not supposed to get my FRFR to sound like a guitar cab, but it's going to be backlining me hopefully at a lot of gigs, and I'd like for it to sound sort of good/not harsh on stage..
