FWIW I use a Matrix powered FRFR that I picked up second hand as back line monitor. Our PA uses SRM450s, which are punchy for voice, but a bit "metallic" to my ears for guitar. I EQ the signal that I send to the PA to compensate.
What profiles are you using mate - most the standard oned that came loaded on the unit are pretty naff.
It took me a while to dial my Kemper in - I started with the - ohh this sounds good on its own - which progressed into the this sounds cack with the band. Using a FRFR-type setup is wierd at first - what sounds great at honme sounds cack with a band.
The way I got around it was to set my profiles - largley made from my own amps and a couple from the amp factory (JCM 800 and Bognor Goldfinger) - at gig volume and use the master output EQ to carve out a place in the frequency spectrum. In practice this pretty much meant taking a lot of bass and presence out - and adjusting the treble to taste.
Now the 8 profiles I use live really roar, just like the real amps.
Stick with it mate - I've offered a number of folk on here to have a go on mine. I'm in Chelmsford if this works for you
I hear you. I started the same way with hundreds of profiles which was a bugger to cycle through. Now I use 8 live. Advantage is that I can be set-up in a matter of minutes and dont have to lug a half stack around any more
The EV speakers I used can be had for 240 quid from Thommans.
I've tried and tried but just font like/can't gel with frfr. If the keeper/also didn't work for you, and while better qualitt cabs will sound better, I'm guessing youll never like frfr.
Try amp/cab somewhere.
Ha Ha - it blows if you can't set the feckin thing up properly
Remember that for any decent concert you go to you're hearing a miced-up guitar cab. Maybe us high tech kemper / axe FX junkies need to play venues bigger than the local pub!!
