HeadRush FRFR-GO - 30W Electric and Bass Guitar Amplifier with Dual 3" Speakers, Bluetooth and Rechargeable Battery, for Multi-FX/Amp Modeling Pedals

I used this for a BOSS GX10 for hotel room play, and it worked well. It can get loud enough to fill the room but not be too fuzzy. It can Bluetooth to your phone at the same time and can get a backing track to jam with. I have been using it lately with a BOSS RC10R looper and had the rhythm section going directly to the headrush Go. It’s a great speaker and is battery operated too. I don’t think I have charged it more than 3 times since getting it in August.

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.

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!

A perfect match for my Headrush effects unit. Great sound quality and very powerful!! The quality is so good I will be replacing my other monitor with the exact same model. I suggest getting a speaker riser to pick it up as it can get a bit bassy when sat directly on the floor. For my home studio this was a perfect fit!!

Excellent sound, I am using it as my monitor after my multieffects/amp simulator and it gives the right consistency and transparency to understand what I really sound like through the PA. Is super light-weight and the bluetooth feature is great for practice and alternate uses.

This little frfr speaker sounds so amazing for a little fellow. The Bluetooth works really well and playing your guitar through it is a joy. Can’t wait to plug my fractal to it as it was intended to do. Make it sound really good.

Bonne qualité

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.

Needed a lightweight frfr speaker for practise around friends and family. I have a headrush core and nano cortex which this works really well with. I would say its plenty loud for home playing, along with the stereo or TV, however will struggle in a larger room with other instruments. You can even play along with music from your phone on Bluetooth. Another great thing is the fact that this has a battery that lasts ages, so great if you're busker. Might buy another one of these to get stereo from my modeller.

This an all-in-one, portable, wifi, FRFR speaker to enjoy playing an electric guiter using multi-effect pedal boards with precisive emulations, such as "Nux Trident" that I am using. The speaker is not that loud to be used in studios and live performances but its looks and its volume are ideal for a family living room. I would really suggest it, if someone alray has a regular guitar amp to cover "out-door" needs. Quility-wise, Headrush stands to its reputation for design and reliability.
