Saw those graphs, very well done for sure,But yeah the FR is designed more as a guitar cab than a "FRFR" as can tell by the settings it is a darker voiced cab
Those graphs have nothing to do with the response of the speaker that you will hear when you play through it. WKSmith does not know how to test loudspeakers.
Yeah but Gary is awesome can make anything sound awesome :)Not sure what type of music you play, but this sounds pretty good to me.....
FM9 - yesterday's gig with the brand new FR-12
Was feelin' it yesterday - Sweetwater sent me a brand new Fender FR-12 (without the hiss!) and this was its maiden voyage - first song of the evening.forum.fractalaudio.com
Okay well IDGAF. He knows how to make a preamp sound great.
Yes its the Norm for those although on poles you can eliminate some of that boominesAlso, for some context, what I’m using now is a cheap Alto TX210 so the bar is low
That thing has a weird midrange, so little high end that the 8k and 16k sliders on my EQ barely make an audible difference, and so much low end that cutting everything below 100db by -12db still leaves it sounding huge and boomy
Then what's the point of linking the graphs?
Do you think that represents a challenge to someone with EE chops?
If that was the case then why did Fender fix it and why are they offering a fix to customers that are affected? That's not cheap...
It’s kind of funny that with all of the many complaints about modelers through "FRFR" speakers missing the ‘amp in the room’ sound, out come the fender FR cabs which are clearly designed for electric guitar specifically to recreate some of that app in the room sound, and then people complain that they’re not "FRFR" enough. Well duh, if true "FRFR" was most ideal, then people wouldn’t be complaining about the sound of their modelers through studio monitors not being amp in the room enough.

Have you looked at the EV offerings, they are wedges but not made of cheap plastic either and for me i just love Coaxial speakers

One Caveat you may not like though is the onboard DSP with tetrahedron's n'shit
Bass Trumpet. In the room.
Have you not noticed that lots of PA speakers and wedges aren't plastic?
Which is why I'm betting its like any other "FRFR" and people are going full Koolaid because it says "fender" on it. Its like when all the whackaloons went crazy over a TheSycon.de interface that had "SSL" printed on the faceplate
Then at best, any supposed magical uniqueeeness is just God of the Gaps claims
Meanwhile the TS version of that speaker is thoroughly awesome, aside from that it isn't coax. I have TS210, TS310 and TS410, alongside both variations of Celestions cabinets for the FX12 series speakers (both the wedge and the square box), Celstion FX12s in Fender Mustang amps thru the FX loop, Turbosounds, borrow an Atomic sometimes, L6 powercab, QSC and Yamahas and I'm sure a few I'm forgetting. For guitar they're all pretty kickass. For playing bass, it seems like the heavier backbreaking speakers seem to let you get woofier, especially the turbosound and the QSCAlso, for some context, what I’m using now is a cheap Alto TX210 so the bar is low

That looks awesome! Slightly lighter than the Turbosound.
Speaking for myself; I like the Mustang GT as a cheap powered monitor. This is sort of an advancement of that thought process. If anything; the fact that it says Fender and looks like a combo amp I would never in a billion years aesthetically gravitate towards means I would normally keep far away from it.
