Fender FR-12 with Tonefactor XR IRs (I think they have more low end?) are giving me serious cab in the room vibes.

Which ones are you using?

Think i mentioned this before, but i like using Helix's 1x12" cabs through the FR-12. It eerie how it fools you into thinking you're just playing a really good valve combo.

How do the Helix (new) stock cabs sound? (They are essentially IRs under the hood I believe)

So far my favorites come from the AC-30 Greenback pack and the Marshall 4x12 pack. The Mesa with 12L speaker seems good too but I've only messed with it a little.

I may need to try that. I've been A/B'ing an FM9 and a TMP all week long through the FR12 and the built in blackface Fender Twin IR on the TMP sounds quite a bit like a real amp in the room and I've been cycling through them on the FM9 and haven't been able to find anything close to providing that experience so far. They sound much more polished and distant and not quite so immediate. I've tried dynacabs, several built in Fractal ones and the Twin and Creamback YA packs so far.

That IS the TM FR112 right? I saw it earlier in the video, but couldn't really tell for sure

It is, judging by size. Likely the same unit he played live with on Stern's.

This sucks balls, as much as I respect Fender. Their total silence (huh, mild pun) on this makes me an angry boy.

WKSmith on the FAS forum is starting a waitlist for his V2 FR-12 and FR-10 preamps. He's trying to guage interest.

Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy
Interestingly enough, according to Wikipedia (which references CarlySimon.com as the source), Carly Simon wrote this song while waiting for Cat Stevens to arrive so that they could go on a date. So, I guess that though words may apply, the meaning behind the words does not. already flipped 5 on...

My understanding is that it's always been the same sole preamp, and that it's compatible with the FR-12 and FR-10.

Yeah I thought so. They’ve already proven themselves cheapskates, so I wouldn’t imagine Fender would use two different boards
Oh, I was talking about WKSmith's new V2 preamp design consisting of only one board for both models; not Fender's. Although the outcome is the same, were you to purchase a V2 I suppose.
