Wow talk about full-circle! I picked up a used Lead 50 head years ago when I worked at Daddy's Junky Music and it was so good on the cheap. I wasn't around for their heyday but my ex gf's father raved about them and I figured, 'why not'?
That's actually some really cool local lore. Thanks for...
Right on! When my work schedule dies down (ton of OT) I'll make a point of driving up. I dig that someone in the area is making custom amps again. Haven't really seen much in MA/NH since Bedrock was a thing.
I've been curious about these amps for a while now. They always sound killer.
Do you have any available to demo in your store? I've been thinking of taking a ride up to NH to see my cousin and he's not far off from Barrington.
Yeah I'm cautiously optimistic. That's why I'm not rushing to buy and I'll wait my turn (on the list).
Some probably had GAS and realized it's close enough compared to whatever they're running and others maybe wanted to make some profit. To each their own.
That's kind of where I was going with the whole, 'wanting a Phil X amp' angle.
Having gain and extras on tap but keeping that old-school early 70s SLP thing throughout it's DNA.
His videos trip me up because as I'm jonsing for this, I keep thinking of his 'Sykes Inspired' video with that old...
I wonder if Matt's Music near me in MA will get one. Total shot in the dark but I think they're still a Friedman dealer.
But it's whatever. It'll go the way of most boutique amps where you have to buy it to try it but consistency shows it'll probably be a knock out.
Man, that's my thought...
I appreciate the write-up. I've been wondering just how 'different' this is compared with other amp's in Dave's lineup.
I've owned a BE100 and had a 71' SLP Dave modded years ago and while they were both dope, I was hoping for more reviews like yours. My main thing with the BE is that I always...
Honestly guys, my work schedule is insane right now so I know if I buy one ASAP it's gonna rot for a couple of months lol.
Thanks for all the info!
I'll just be patient and wait for my turn. Or BS and hit 'buy it now' randomly
That's a typo. I meant to say 'it isn't a stretch'. 4k is reasonable tops for the amp.
But I honestly don't know. Price wise. I thiught it was around $3500
I've been out of the amp game for a while. Who's making those two?
Outside of wanting this, I've been thinking about scooping up another M-Zero OD or even an SLO (again). I've had a Friedman BE100 and a Friedman KS he modded for me years ago (which was dope) but I have been wondering too if...
Yeah, 4k is a complete stretch: I'm good there.
That was the whole reason for this post originally. I want the amp; it sounds nasty but at the same time, I'm not feeding a flipper. Plus, is it GAS or is this one really different than other iterations. I've gone down this rabbit hole before lol.
All good info.
I was late to the sign up; did it around July 4th.
So I'm assuming anywhere from 2 to 4 months. I'm in no real rush. I just wanted to scoop one up before paying an extra 2k used due to low numbers!
I've tried finding info about this in different threads but is there an ETA or even a 'guarantee' that everyone on the waiting list will be able to purchase the amp? This is the first time in forever I've had GAS this hard lol.
How did the process go for those of you that have already received...
