Matrix CFR12

Sarasin · Jan 18th 2016

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum and loving my KPA paired with the remote. I've just ordered the Mission expression pedal, looks very cool, can't wait to try it out.

When I first purchased my KPA, I bought an Orange 1x12. I a wanted small portable option. I found that the Orange cab colored my rigs way too much so I traded (with some cash) for the Matrix CFR12.

Has anyone used the CFR12 or compared it to other similar cabs?

Thanks

Ok great, thanks for clearing up the abbreviations. Like I said I'm new to this forum.

I think the CFR12 is mostly the same speaker as a Q12 passive but in wedge version (I remember to read that it had a little less bass response than the Q12). I heard a lot of good things about the active Q12 so I assume that the CFR12 should be a very good match for your Kemper. I never try it personnaly thought.

Me neither, sorry

It should sound good tho

Yeah, they are very similar. I like the wedge because it's smaller and lighter. I've mostly used it for my studio and it's nice since it angles directly towards you. I recently took it to rehearsal and my bass player was impressed with the sound.

It it took a while to tweak it but I'm getting some nice tones now.
