I'd really been thinking about moving away from cumbersome valve amps for a while; asking myself should I go digital and, if so, how best to do it? I own a Line 6 Firehawk FX multiFX unit and never really got along with it. Most of this stems from my laziness to actually program good tones, plus, I'd been using it in the front of amps of various quality for 2 years. The tones always sounded harsh and unusable. That all changed when I decided to try it through a pair of powered studio monitors. I've been researching how to build professional-sounding patches, so I actually sat down and took my time to build the sounds I've been chasing for years. Through the monitors (Rockit 8's) the board sounded IMMENSE.I was blown away. I had found the sounds I wanted (or, at least, I was extremely close). However, lugging two large studio monitors around everywhere isn't practical. I started looking for a solution. I found the Line 6 Powercab Plus and I started seriously thinking about purchasing one. A couple of things though - it looks.. well.. boring.. and it's an expensive box of a thing. Enter the HeadRush FRFR-112. I couldn't believe the price and it LOOKS cool. It has that floor monitor vibe with the metal mesh. Plus, 2000W?! I purchased one hoping I'd done the right thing. A couple of days later, I was unboxing a sleek unit in my studio. I plugged the XLR into the input (tip: use input 2 if you plan to lie the cab back floor monitor-style - I got the impression that the tilted back angle was pinching the cable a little when it was input 1). I turned on my Firehawk, setting the master volume low. I turned on the Headrush (amp last!) and slowly set the volume to 5. WOW. This thing is LOUD! Not only that, but the tone is killer; it's been tuned especially for guitar. Great full range across lows, mids and high frequencies. The contour switch is nice, however I prefer the flat sound when the switch is inactive (i.e. in the out position). Long story short - if you're looking to take your favourite multiFX settings with you to gigs, record, whatever.. don't hesitate. You won't be disappointed. If I had to pick one little tiny complaint, it would be the input one 'issue' where your XLR is pinched against the floor if you tilt the cabinet backwards. Bit of a non-issue really, and extremely easy to overcome. Amazing. And yes, I've ordered the smaller 8-inch unit now too to give me a stereo set-up. Killer!EDIT: Now using Line 6 Helix as opposed to Firehawk and the tones are far superior. Ended up getting another 12-in Headrush instead of the 8-in I mentioned in my review. Absolutely killer. The speakers really let the IR's breathe and allow the tones to shine without being coloured by the amp. 10/10!

Very clear sound, astonishingly close to what you hear in the headphones (use mine with a Headrush Pedalboard). Cuts through the band mix easily. Don't know what it sounds like compared to the 112, but this already has enough bass for my purposes, and it's so light, but feels robust. There is a slight but noticeable artifact around the bass processing, but it's not intrusive the way some purists bang on about. I can get virtually any guitar sound I want with this hooked up to my Headrush Pedalboard. Thinking about getting another one, run in stereo or use one for monitoring and the other as back line. Very impressed.

I bought this to go with my Helix HX Stomp. Played my bass through it on an Ampeg Svt setting......sounds incredible from whisper quiet to earth shattering volume for such a small speaker AND it sounds like an SVT, although don’t expect it to have the same trouser flapping impact as a real one. Played music through it from IPad. It sounds like a nightclub in my house. The bass lows are unreal for such a small unit. For the money I can not see how this can be beaten. It is so small and light. I’m delighted. Sold my tube amp and will not be going back to amps. Just amazing. Bargain.

Using in small home studio with Atomic Amplifire 6, which also drives a DAW. Well built solid unit, produces authentic amp tones at low volume with contour on. Very little difference to recorded output and monitoring phones. Tried briefly at volume without contour and it stayed tight and accurate - it's loud! Should gig well.Vast improvement on studio monitors for playing feel, and thoroughly recommended.

I use two of these in stereo as on stage guitar monitors for my Kemper Profiler... very powerful, huge headroom and amazing bang for your hard earned bucks... watch out for the bass frequencies though as they can get too overwhelming... overall very impressive bit of kit... very pleased... ;-)

My pod helix FX sounded awful through my old amp, now through this it's awesome.Great deal for the money, and looks awesome too.It's response isn't not perfectly flat but readily good enough for my ears.

Brilliant better sounding than the QSC 10 k.10.2 which are twice the price and a bit fiddly. I use it as an FRFR speaker for my guitar amp modeller. Maybe the K10's are better as a PA, I am not sure.

Does exactly as promised. It's crystal clear, very versatile and perfectly sized for my needs. Works well with both my line 6 fx unit and guitar rig 5 with my focusrite scarlett 2i2.
