This may be a dumb question, but this would be my first experience with FRFR cabs, so "dumbness" should be expected. (c:
I've got my first Kemper on the way from Guitar Center. I ordered the non-powered version. Right now I'm leaning toward using it with a power amp and cab. But, I also may have the option of buying a Friedman ASM-12.
Two questions:
- Is the Friedman my best option to give me a FRFR monitor, while also doing the best job of replicating the "amp in the room" feel? I've heard the Friedman so I know it is definitely loud enough and has the bass response that I'd be looking for on stage to make me happy. I'm just wondering if it's a good FRFR option for the Kemper.
- If I went with a FRFR monitor (Friedman, Yamaha, etc.), is it possible to mic it like a normal guitar cab on stage? The reason I ask, is because while I'd LOVE to be able to use a FRFR montior and send the same signal direct to FOH, often times we do sound ourselves on our smaller PA, and then other times we'll have different sound guys running sound for us on larger PA systems. I'm just wondering if in the case we get a sound guy who struggles to get my direct signal sounding good, can I just mic a FRFR cab? I know technically, you can stick a mic in front of anything. But would it sound horrible since there is both a speaker and a tweeter in most of them? How would you go about doing that?
Thanks!
