Rhodes V-Rack — A Mix Product of the Week
The FRFR-108 MKII and FRFR-112 MKII were designed for use with electric guitar and electric bass. Drivers for the respective models have been fine-tuned for amp modelers, specifically voiced for accurate, linear delivery of amplifier and cabinet emulations.
The combo jacks have independent volume control, and the XLR direct output facilitates daisy-chaining or patching the output to a front-of-house mixing console. Both models feature a ground lift switch for eliminating noise issues caused by ground loops, and a 100 Hz high-pass filter to help cut through muddy stage mixes.
They can be deployed as floor wedges, upright, or stand-mounted using an integrated standard 36mm pole mount. A dedicated Bluetooth input enables wireless music streaming from a smart device for rehearsal or break music.
The FRFR-108 MKII weighs in at 21 pounds, and the FRFR-112 MKII weighs in at 35 pounds.
