I decided to jump into the FRFR game. I've been running my AX8 through a Matrix GT1000 into a Mesa cab. It's good but a little honky with V30's.
So I'm considering a Xitone 1x12 at about $530 which is the least expensive, or the Friedman ASC 12. That's $900 but I could sell my Matrix amp for 5-600.
For those who have been down this road is it better to have an all in one like the Friedman or even a powered Xitone/Matrix/CLR or a separate power amp? The separate amp gives me other options such as stereo,other cabs ect. The Friedman is like 60 lbs but my current guitar cab is 72 lbs. I have my Matrix in a soft rack case so its real light and the Xitone is only like 30lbs. Just wondering if I would prefer the thump from the Friedman more. Hard and expensive decisions and nowhere to try this stuff locally so any input is appreciated.
