So sorry you're suffering at the moment, Dan. Please get well very soon. I really enjoy your talks and, above all, your excellent playing. I'm just an acoustic strummer from the UK, living in an ancient canal boat. So we both share living close to water. Get well soon, Dan.

I have found this to be true even with "amp in a box pedals" that are analog. They sound best at the end of the chain if you use them, with the amp's preamp set to neutral. Anyway, very cool to show us all your setup, Dan. I want to move more digital myself. I could see having an American Sounds and a UA Lion as my only two "amps" with a FR cabinet. I do have a cool THR 30ii practice amp which is digital modeler really. Thanks for the shout out to Dickey Betts. That lick taught me the "CAGED" system as it is now called. I used to go see the Allman Bros. with Dickey and Warren Hayenes, Derek Trucks and the rest of the band at the time every spring in the late 90's at the Beacon theatre in NYC. The first trip was was my first concert and the main reason I even picked up a guitar if I really think about it. My first electric guitar was an Epiphone LP "burst" so to speak. Great guitar, I still have it and play it. Hope you feel better - and thanks again for another great video.

Thank you for the comment Brother Guy along with some insight...I enjoy to hear of experiences like these and thank you for sharing. The more I go "digital"...the more I search for the "analog" elements that keep it away from such a digital sounding result...which has it's place with me...but most of my productions call for a more "analog" element. Quite a "dichotomy"...since I don't care for using "tube" amps...and love the "Tonemaster" stuff by Fender...and trying to keep Digital away from sounding like itself;) Thank you for watching and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Nice, quiet tribute to the Ramblin’ Man. I mentioned in a earlier post, love my FR10. I’ll wager you will love that 12 after you get it dialed in. I drive mine with a Helix. Get well soon.

Thank you Emperor Jones;) I am enjoying this journey of trying to "dial" this FR-12 in...and I am getting closer each "Live" show I am using it. Tomorrow's event...a 4 hour show...will be another "testing time"...and I'll provide an "Update" for all those interested. My prayers to you, your family and friends... Sincerely I am...Dan;)

That's the beauty of my Helix. I had the same issue and changed the output to the cab to line level and the difference was huge. The Keys look great. I'm in Punta Gorda and I might get down there one day. Great video.

Thank you for the comment Brother Brian. A friend of mine that I perform here in the Keys with has a Helix Stomp and hopefully this Thursday, we will put it into the FR-12 to do a "test run" for our "sonic curiousity". As for me, I have added the Boss IR200 to my "new" pedal board designed specifically for the FR-12 and this past Saturday's performance in Islamorada rated an 8.5 out of 10 for "what" I was "sonically" looking for with the "New Pedal Board/FR12" combination...using an Epiphone 335 for the entire 3 hour performance. My prayers to you, your family and friends...and I hope to shake your hand someday down here in the Keys;) Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Sorry about the sinus issue, that can really mess with you. Thank you for sharing the information regarding line level output signal vs instrument level output signal, quite interesting. Great looking and sounding Epiphone! Get to feeling better!

Great explanation. I have been looking for a lightweight do it all rig (country - jazz - classic rock) and stumbled onto the FR12 via online vids. So is helpful hearing the details on your success with a non-tube rig. You have shown it does great 'cleans'. Also good to hear you think the FR12 is better sounding than the Tone Master (true?). Technology keep getting better. Now when I look at tube amps (and have had many) the first I thing look at is the number of tubes in guitar amp (for example... a deluxe reverb has 9 tubes.. yikes) and the weight. Your Epiphone, Joyo and FR12 sound great. The last challenge with be is hearing what rock tones can be conjured up from a FR12 with pedals. Your Sit and Play #1 is fun and hope you do more instructional like chord/solo playing.

Dear JoePassFan (and I am too;)...thank you for your comment. I will be doing a "follow-up" video on this very soon as I recently did 5 shows in 10 days using only the FR-12 and a new configuration of pedals that was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I do like the TR-12 "sonically" over the TM "Deluxe Reverb" for this one simple reason...I can get much more "clean headroom" with the TR-12 than I can with the DR. The TMDR is PERFECT for "what it does"...and that is to be a "Deluxe Reverb"...used at 4 1/2 max on volume and enjoy the "classic slightly overdriven" sound of a that legendary amp. But for me...simply not enough "stage volume" for my "live performance" needs. The KEY to the TR-12 is 100% the PEDALS you are using...and I have found the PERFECT COMBINATION for my needs...of which I will be sharing with you and others in an upcoming video. In that video...I will cover the "full sonic spectrum" I am both "needing & getting" as my "live" shows include classic songs from Bad Company, Skynyrd, Hank, Waylon, Metallica, Van Morrison, Buffett, Pink Floyd, BB King, Doobie Brothers, Glen Campbell and much, much more. And...when you have a moment...do some research on the Boss IR-200 as this pedal has become the KEY in providing an UNBELIEVABLE HIGH VOLUME CLEAN FRONT END to the FR-12 that allows ALL the other pedals before it to work PERFECTLY. I'll be making this video over the weekend and putting it up soon. Thank you again and if there is something you want to see in the video, please let me know;) My prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)

Hi Dan, I see that you chose the FR-12. Did you compare it to the FR-10 when making a decision? I have no way to compare them other than buying them both and comparing them side by side. Is there any reason to choose the FR-12 over the FR-10? I see some folks saying the 12 is just too boomy. I know this is often a mater of taste. Given these amps do have tone controls, I assumed the bass could be dialed out to suit room/environment conditions. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I was also considering two FR speakers until I realized my processor can sum stereo effects to mono should I choose to do so.

Thank you for your question...my answer is "simple" as it is based around my "Sonic Needs" of which you can reflect on yours after this...which may help. As a "Live" performer...on stage...competing with other musicians and there sonic offerings in addition to the "environments" I perform...I am always in search of a "LARGE & CLEAN" sound..with the headroom that allows me the "FLEXIBILITY" to adjust accordingly regarding volume. Something a single 10" speaker cab has never been "noted" for is being a "bigger" sounding source for sonic transfer...and while they absolutely "have a perfect placement" in studio environment (a.k.a. Fender Princeton), their ability to "KEEP UP" in the "Live Environments" I perform in simply does not exist. Additionally...these are "AMP SIM/PEDAL DRIVEN" devices...and depending on your "Amp Sim" pedal...you can "IMITATE" so many different amp offerings...depending on which pedal or pedals you chose. But...no matter which one...stick it on the very end of your chain...and make sure the "Line Out" signal is the desirable level needed for this device as "Instrument Level" does not work. The FR-12 is like a "BEEFED UP DELUXE" with much more CLEAN HEADROOM that takes pedals EXTREMELY WELL and is POSITIVELY INFLUENCED by the AMP SIM pedals that I am using...and for me...fits exactly "SONIC NEEDS";) I hope this is helpful...and any other question...please ask;) Thank you for watching and my prayers to you, your family and friends...Sincerely I am...Dan;)
