I've been using a Headrush FRFR-112 with my HX Stomp and Helix LT with excellent results. I'm very happy with the sound & power of the FRFR-112, but as a recent digital convert, I have never liked the look of it (I use it as backline). It doesn't 'look' like an amp, so after having done a bit of reading up, and watched a few YouTube vids, I decided that the Laney LFR-112 was the beast for me! I ordered it last weekend, it turned up on Monday in time for rehearsal on Monday evening. I so so SO wanted to like the Laney but it sounded pretty awful compared to the Headrush. I altered the HF control to try and dial in a decent tone, but I couldn't get anywhere near what I like. As an aside, I also fed FOH (through XLR out) with the Helix as well as the Laney (fed from 1/4" out on Helix to combi input on the Laney via a 6 metre unbalanced lead), FOH sounded amazing. Before I reluctantly return the Laney, does anyone have any reasons why I shouldn't? Have I missed something? As always, thanks in advance for reading, and for any hints and tips that get posted!
