HeadRush FRFR108 MKII - 2000W Electric and Bass Guitar Amp, 8" Full-Range Flat-Response Bluetooth Speaker for Multi-FX and Amp Modeling Processors

I absolutely love this amp. Anyone who does not give this amp a 5 star review does not understand what it is. Let me clear up a few common misconceptions that people may have. 1. 30 Watts does not mean more volume. For example: a Vox AC30, 30 watt amp, will blow the doors off most concert halls with no problem. This should never be compared to a 30 watt solid state amp. This little amp is MORE than enough for bedroom use, or even a small coffeehouse kind of gig. It's actually too loud for me to turn up all the way in my home. 2. This is an FRFR amp; which means flat rate flat response. That means there is no added 'fluff' to the sound. It would put out the signal exactly as it is imputed. Most bluetooth speakers (bose, sony, beats) add a lot of bass and treble additives to the sound to make it sound fuller and richer. This should NOT be compared to those. A FRFR speaker is meant to output the sound AS IS. No additives. If you want additives, you'll have to add them some other way. What I love: 1. Wireless battery lasts forever. Love it. 2. Speaker is VERY well built. Professional grade quality. Better than I expected for the price range. 3. Bluetooth speaker sounds great (not better than my Bose). Just turn up the base and tone knobs. 4. Super compact size. I will definitely be bringing this everywhere I go.

This thing is a beast. I have used it for two live shows, one indoor pushing guitar, and one outdoor pushing bass. Both times the instrument has been ran through the same guitar modeler. Indoor our guitar kept up masterfully with the bass being ran through the FOH PA System. Outdoors my bass was able to keep up, even slightly edge out, the Marshall 4x12 cab my guitarist was using. The real kicker is it's size. At the size of a standard 12" PA this thing is incredibly portable. The weight makes it a dream to bring to weekend gigs. My Orange 4x12 and Head combined way upwards of 100lbs, our Orange 1x15 Bass Amp weighs 55lbs. This thing drops 20lbs off our bass rig, or a whopping 65lbs off of our guitar rig. I will definitely be getting a second one. Dual inputs with separate gain is going to be a blessing. I intend to run modelers through with one of these units on stage left pushing lead guitar, one on stage right pushing rhythm, and bass being fed into the second input of both of them to ensure that my audience feels the boom. I cannot wait to purchase again. Great tone replication with a budget pricetag.

It is small and lightweith. (almost 4Kg). It surprised me how loud it was for a home enviroment. I played it with a Valeton GP200 multi effect along with a guitar and bass and the sound was great! bluetooth connectivity was very easy with laptop and phone to play with baacking tracks. the Battery lasts a lot (in the manual indicates up to 13 hours but havent used it as much yet)

My search for a great tone has been a long one. I've worked with several powered speakers and monitors before discovering the HR 108. I must say that my first impression of this speaker was not 4 stars, more like 3 at best. It wasn't until I found a downloadable PEQ Block (search Fractal Forum for: Flattening the headrush curve WKSmith) that moved my rating up to 4 stars. These speakers are amazingly loud and definitely sound best on tripod stands... mine are low at 24 inches (from the bottom of the speaker to floor) which helps give me that amp-in-room sound. The features are very useful and the handle is very comfortable. I also really appreciate the weight, at 21 pounds it's so easy get them in and out of the car and to navigate stairs. I've had no problems with noise (hiss or otherwise), even when I use them in my small music room at home. Like all PA type speakers that are biamped there can be hiss... my pair placed about 8 feet apart and me 3 feet back and between them and pointed at me and volume pedal heel-down the hiss is so little that I can't hear it and I keep the back-panel volume knobs at 8. As for playing power with the pair indoors I'm good to about 100 people without going into a PA. There is a negative that kept me from giving a 5 star rating, I found the tweeters to sound okay, but they have a shrill, piercing midrange quality that's quite harsh and is easily noticeable on crunch and distortion tones. It can be dialed out some, but the sizzle of overdriven tones lives in that space making it a tradeoff proposition. This harshness is common to titanium (diaphragm) tweeters (or high frequency compression drivers). It seems titanium drivers are everywhere when it comes to PA and FRFR speakers. Polyimide seems to be the choice amongst those players that make their own speakers up from scratch. I made my way to my own personal 5 star rating by changing over to polyimide tweeters which are known to have a more natural sound for higher frequencies. It's worth mentioning that the included tweeters are rebuildable and HR does stock replacement diaphragms (it's the same one found in Alto TS408 and 410), maybe someday they'll make a polyimide replacement diaphragm. I've got my amazing tone now, even at low volumes and my (Howard) Dumble presets sound breathtaking!

This Headrush FRFR-GO is an amazing piece of equipment. The sound is so much bigger than the speaker itself that it is truly amazing. As a 50 plus year guitarist I can say that the sound is smooth and flat and the volume of this unit will get louder than I am comfortable playing with. It works really well with my drum machine connected while I play and practice and I can connect my iPad to it via blue tooth and jam with backing tracks. I am very satisfied with this product. It’s a great companion for my Boss GX-100 modeler. Highly recommended.

I have a headrush 112 FRFR. This ain't it. This is far more sane. And not nearly as severe when one wants to practice indoors. Sound quality is great but not so exaggerated as happens with the larger models. I've not tested the battery life, but hilariously had the chance to use this as a speaker in a classroom when the power on campus crapped the bed. For people interested in modelers, this may well be the ideal speaker. You can charge it and run it offline on battery, the sound quality is superb, it's easy to move because it's light, and hooking something up to it is as easy as any speaker. I've not done any torture tests on the battery life, but sound quality for what I have tested in the past couple of months has been outstanding.

I don’t know when it all changed but back in the day when companies would give specs (I’m talking about receivers and such but stay with me) it’d be something like 100 watts RMS @ .0015 % THD (total harmonic distortion) from 20-20000 hz I’m no sound engineer but I know what that means. You can take the same amp and measure it at a steady 5000hz and say 5% THD it would probably 375 watts peak so you see the numbers can be manipulated to suit the market do you really think a portable BT 8” speaker is pumping out 1000 watts? So now about this here speaker: plenty loud can hold its own in the right settings but really best for home now I have a bunch of guitars / amps but I’m no high $$ collector so what I look for now is something to fill a need and inspire I’m not dropping $1700 on some modeler I have a fender mustang micro headphone amp which I really like just kicking back and I’ll just say this the combo of the 65 fender deluxe model and this is a desert island setup to last me forever, that good. Add a reachable solar powered battery and good to go! Great price too and just icing on the cake works great as a TV soundbar or BT Speaker at this price can’t go wrong only you have unrealistic expectations this will do the job.

It won’t be sold to people starting to play. Young wannabe guitarist want at least a little more power. People are not gonna buy into the frfr thing @ 30 watts. I am useing it as a TV extension speaker. That being said it does have very good bass for two 3” speakers. Hosts a good clean sound just not at all loud. Great sound considering it only has two three inch speakers.

Tengo dos de estas pantallas FRFR....las uso tanto de monitores para mis conciertos y como salida en estéreo (por eso los dos). Mucha potencia pero realmente no son 2500w reales pero aún así, geniales. Los hay más caros y mejores pero para tener sonidos de referencia, genial

Bonne qualité

Ne ho prese 2 per avere un suono in stereofonia e devo dire che mi hanno sbalordito , ho collegato la mia Vsleton GP200R ed il suono che usciva era definito con dei bassi profondi e non fastidiosi , devo proprio dire complimenti ad Headrush se non vuoi usare una testata cassa questa soluzione è perfetta per un uso casalingo per i miei gusti personali

Don’t know if I had a faulty unit but the sound quality using my UAFX Ruby into it was terrible. The speaker fuzzes even at low volumes, there’s way too much low end in it. I found it completely unusable. Returned for refund, still waiting for it over 2 weeks later. Terrible customer service from Amazon on this.

Perfect for the living room, bedroom etc. I have 2 multi effects platforms: a Boss ME-90 and the Fender Tone Master Pro. I was considering getting the matching powered speaker for the Tone Master, but I really didn't need something that big or that loud for living room use. I saw lots of good reviews of this unit and I had it in my wish list and in my cart a few times before I finally pulled the trigger. I wish I wouldn't have waited! Pros (in no particular order): Small and light. It fits pretty much anywhere. Decently loud. Plenty enough under the hood for the average bedroom or living room rock star. Exceptional sound quality. Better than I expected. Clear. Only gets muddy if you push it too hard from your pedal. It's a great bluetooth speaker. Just as a speaker for Spotify it's great, but as a guitar learning tool it's even better. I use the Songsterr app and it just works so well. Also the initial pairing to my Samsung phone and tablet was super easy. Reconnecting is seamless. Being rechargeable is a feature I didn't think I would ever need, want or appreciate. Literally the first time I'm using it through my ME-90 (on battery power) when the power went out. I just kept on playing. Also, being able to put it anywhere in the house without worrying about having access to an outlet is nice. It looks cool. At least I think so. Cons: It's not as loud as a tube amp... but who cares, that's not what it's designed to be.
