What FRFR, Amp and Speaker Are You Using With ToneX Pedal?

[Robert Parent]

Hi,

For all the ToneX Pedal users here: What FRFR, or amp and speaker combination are you using with the ToneX?

Have tried several setups, but have not yet discovered a good solution. The best sounding thus far is a small Create CA60 acoustic amp of all things.

Thanks,
Robert

Oddly I had an FRFR and I really didnt like it. TOO clean and the bass response was too "thumpy" and percussive. I know a touring dude who said the same about the FRFR, you have to remember it's a PA speaker and our instrument has different characteristics from a guitar, especially with our volume pedal. I switched back to my Evans amp and love it with my TONEX after much shaping of the EQ . Go figure! YYMV

I am using the Fender FR12 and FR10. I came to use the Fenders not from the TONEX but as a speaker for the Quilter SuperBlock US and Quilter DirectAmp. The FRFR guitar speaker is a different concept from traditional speakers.

Also do not confuse the PA FRFRs with the FRFR guitar speakers.

For example, the Peavey 15-inch speaker was supposed to produce clear highs and lows from the same unit. The Fender has two distinct speakers designed to deliver the full range of sounds without trade-off or compromise.

When a conventional speaker is recorded, the sound varies depending on the microphone placement. According to some, the Fender speaker must have the recording microphone at least 16 inches from the cabinet.

I use the TONEX one pedal. It weighs a few ounces, clips to the leg of my guitar, and eliminates the need for extraneous pedals. However, it is a chore to set up. I use Joe Rogers' amp models. The perfect preamp is a quest.

Thanks guys.... Looks like this will be a trial and error adventure.
