New TMP. Fender FR or Studio monitors?

I like using TMP in stereo. A pair of Yamaha HS5’s would be great, or a pair of FR10’s if you want amps. The larger in speaker size you go, the more low end will be perceivable and accurate to what’s actually happening on the TMP. Make sure you set the TMP outputs to Line when using studio monitors

Headphones that sound like a HiFi?

Absolutely agree with this. My studio combo is Yamaha HS5 Monitors and Sony MDR-7506 monitor headphones. This combo is really unbiased and when I switch between them, the difference is small.

Why do people say Yamaha HS5 (or the entire HS series) is uncomfortable to listen to?

Yes. But the HS5 does have a boost around 1khz. Which compared to a speaker (or headphone) which has a more neutral mid-range response could make them seem a bit shouty. And they're a little bit too flat. People tend to perceive speakers (even studio monitors) that have a little bit of tilt in the f

O que usar para tocar com pedaleira?

IR’s reproduzem o timbre de gabinetes (caixas específicas, alto falantes específicos, cujos sons são capturados por microfones específicos). Imagina você plugar a guitarra em um cabeçote Orange (pre amp e power amp), ligar esse cabeçote em um gabinete com dois alto falantes de 12” Orange, depois mic
