Need some recommendations for available JBL drivers to compliment a fairly new product called the Fractal Axe-Fx please. Plan is to pass on the info to the Axe-fx forum I also belong to.
The Axe-Fx is a high-end guitar processor that has the option of using internal simulation of a tube power-amp and cabinet or not. In other words, you can either feed the preamp output of the Axe-fx to a power section of an actual tube amp, which in-turn feeds a guitar cabinet, or feed the preamp output to a neutral SS amp that drives a clean as possible monitor of some sort. Powered floor monitors have become popular for this. Most are not very good at all.
This second method is called 'FRFR' (full range frequency response) and as mentioned earlier, the tube amp tone and cabinet IR is then provided by Axe-Fx. Sparing the details - this is the way to go.
What I need is model no's for both 12" and 15" drivers that would be considered accurate reproducers for FRFR. They need to be able to handle some power too.
These speakers will end up in who-knows-what guitar cabinets, replacing the normal guitar oriented stuff.
I can hardly recommend my setup because it's not practical for most folks - the Axe-Fx feeds the console to a batch of Crown K1's driving four 4435's and a pair of 4430's in a Control Room. That's the general idea here, just need something on a smaller scale without horns/crossovers. The high-end roll-off is a good thing.
Cost matters too!
Thanks...
