Hey Guys, I am a proud owner of a SS100 and want to buy another Friedman. I have the chance to grad an older 2014 PhilX amp. It is a preproduction Model with a different look, Variac on the back and a completely different gain cut. The gain cut sits on a completely different place Internally...

Hey :) I recently updated my 2014 BE100 to the current specs. Now I am wondering how important the choke is?!? I have the old Mercury choke and as far as I know dave uses a Classic Tone on the current models. Is this a really importand upgrade or is everything fine with the old one? Thanks...

I just bought a band new SS100 because I felt in love a few years ago when I tried it the first time :) I am just wondering if Dave lowered the filtering on the SS100. The preamp has a 16+16uf instead of the older 22+22uf I also noticed a missing 100uf cap in the power section. Can anybody...

I have an older PT20 and wondering if it is possible to add the new gain structure switch. And does the newest version have a new revision loopboard as seen on the be100, ss100,...?

Hi Dave, just two short questions: - Is it possible to pull the outer power tubes on a 100 watter and use half of the cabinets impedance to reduce to 50 Watt? - FX Loop Return: 3/4 on the return level pot is app. unity volume. Is it advisable to run the loop that way and use the front master...

I purchased a new PhilX model and really really like the awesome sound coming from this incredible amp... But I have some serious trouble with the highly praised Friedman FET loop. All my True Bypass pedals cause a loud popping noise when switching them on and off. Only my Strymon Flint works...

I'm playing an older two input model from the earlier days and had just some trouble with the grid resistors and tube failure so I'm a bit sensitive and a hypochondriac at the moment :) Is it normal that the mod switches (C45/Sat/Fat) cause a noticeable pop when switching them on? Thanks a lot

Hi, I played the BE100 several times and liked it so much... But whats the deal with the JJ? More aggressive, more juicy? Is the gain range with the JBE switch Off combareable to the normal BE Channel on the Brown Eye or is the JJ generally hotter? Thanks a lot... :rock:

One question about Friedman/Racksystem Pedalboards: Which cable is used to wire the boards? How important is the cable on a pedalboard wiring? When it comes to choose the right cable is it more about flexibility/reliability or tone? Is it worth to buy a expensive MOGAMI cable or suffices a...

Hey, I'm definitely going to buy a FRIEDMAN amp in the next days but I really really don't know which one is the perfect amp for my needs. I'm a bluesrock to hardrock guy (from Bonamassa, John Mayer to max. Alter Bridge, Black Stone Cherry). No metal or beyond. I'am using a Telly (Fender...

Hey guys, my next amp is definitely a Friedman. But cannot decide betwee the BE-100 and the SS-100. I like the open, raw and articulate tone from the BE100. But also like the chewier, darker and juicy tone from the SS-100. I really don't know which amp is the right one for me... I'm...

Hey Rig-Talk members, sorry for my poor english. I've got one question: The BE and SS have this "special" FX-Loop where the master volume is on the back of the amp when FX-Loop engaged. Is this praticable? How do you Friedman-Guys out there handle this on stage? Is there a little scope to...

Hallo Zusammen, ich habe/hatte folgendes Problem mit meinem Columbus: Der Columbus wird idR von meinem VH-4 via Phantom mit 12V Spannung versorgt. Da ich das Gerät aber auch in einem anderen Amp-Setup verwenden wollte hatte ich immer das Problem, dass der Columbus bei manueller Stromzufuhr...

As I mentioned in another thread, I've problems with some harsh and fizzly highs in my sound. So I'am playing through a Diezel 4x12 FL V30 cab, which could be the problem?! So what Diezel cab would you choose for a smooth and fat rock sound? The Hemp Cones? I play mostly rock, sometimes hard...

Hi, anybody knows the tonal difference between the newer EL34-BG and EL34-STR? THX

Nun, ich habe nun seit 2 Wochen neben meinem VH-4 noch einen Schmidt stehen und bin ziemlich begeistert von diesem geilen Amp... Aber der Clean Channel könnte etwas knalliger sein. Ich denke dabei so in die Richtung Blackface Twin Reverb... Denkt ihr macht es Sinn, da mal 6L6WGC-STR...
