NAMM 2018: Is this HeadRush FRFR-112 the perfect character-free cabinet for FX/Amp freaks?

NAMM 2018: HeadRush, feisty new kid on the modelling block, has followed up its all-in-one pedalboard, released last year, with what they claim is the perfect output for it, or any other multi-FX/amp modeller.

Its new FRFR-112 powered cabinet is a 2000W full-range flat response unit, packing a 2-inch 2-way speaker and an extremely respectable range of input/output options and EQ/tuning capabilities.

That 12-inch woofer and high-frequency compression driver aim to deliver a precise, full response across the full frequency range (46-22kHz), specifically to avoid any artificial coloration - critical when you've got your FX or modelling set-up tweaked just so.

It's also relatively transportable, at just over 16kg, and is pole-mountable. The HeadRush FRFR-112 will be available this Spring, at a US retail price of $299.
