    Studio monitors or frfr speakers?

    So I’m thinking of buying a Tone X Pedal and I’m unsure which way would be the best to amplify it. I was debating between two options: a very well regarded studio monitors like the Yamaha HS8, or a very popular frfr solution like the Headrush FRFR 8 or 12. I would like the best possible...

    Friedman Mini Jake E. Lee

    Seems like at least a shell of a mini Jake E. Lee exists (behind Dave). If it really exists, I hope it's two channels.

    Help me choose my next Friedman

    So I'm going to buy me a Friedman for this Christmas and I don't know which one to buy. My most important requisite is that it should be able to nail early Metallica/thrash tones. I'm debating between this 3: -Pink Taco V2 -Runt 50 -BE100 Deluxe I love what I hear of the PT V2, but here in...

    Pink Taco V2

    Sooo it seems we finally have confirmation of the rumored new version of the Pink Taco. https://www.musik-produktiv.es/friedman-pink-taco-head-v2.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjw1bqZBhDXARIsANTjCPKIEmiD00vsJHvsQRXvNUCXViF_r0-1w3hkugB4mrTPOJVaueXQxsoaAnkmEALw_wcB It's sexy, I like the Deluxe style looks and...

    Went to see Maximum The Hormone yesterday…

    Best concert ever. Maximum The Ryo Kun was playing through an Axe FX 3 instead of his Diezel Herbert. He sounded really good, except maybe one solo in which the tone was a bit raspy. First time I hear the Axe FX 3 live and I was pleasantly surprised.

    New updated Pink Taco

    So in the last tone-talk Dave mentioned that the Mini Shirley & Pink Taco were having a new updated versions with some added features. Is it possible to elaborate more on those new features? Also, are the amps going to change aesthetically or are they gonna look the same?

    BE100 Deluxe high pitched whistle

    I have received a BE100 Deluxe and straight out of the box the HBE channel it's pretty much unusuable because it has this really unpleasant high pitched whistle all the time. The more you turn the volume up, the more unbearable it gets. Only when I hit the strings the whistle stops, but...

    Pink Taco discontinued?

    I'm interested in buying a Taco, but seems there isn't stock anymore and in some stores you can even see the word “discontinued” on it. So is the Pink Taco discontinued? And if it's true, it's because there's a new version coming? A 40/50 watts EL34 Pink Taco would be the perfect amp.

    Should I buy a BE100 Deluxe?

    A Friedman BE100 Deluxe is available in my area. I have heard mixed reviews about it, some say it's amazing but others claim it doesn't sound as good as previous BE's and it's more fuzzy/harsh sounding, which it's something that seems you can hear in the youtube videos of the amp. I don't know...

    Help identifying a Friedman?

    In this video, Richie Faulkner plays what seems to be a Friedman? You can't barely see the amp (around the 47 seconds mark you can clearly see the logo), but for it's size I would say it's probably a Smallbox? If it's indeed a Smallbox, that thing sounds so good. He plays all this 70/80's tunes...

    WW20 for Europe?

    Is there a chance the WW20 would ever hit the european market? I guess I could order a custom one, but then the price would probably skyrocket and I'm not sure I can justify paying around 2000€ for a 20watts amp.

    Quad Cortex Neural DSP

    So the videos are out and the usual suspects (Rabea, Pete Thorn, Tom Quayle...) make the thing sound good. That toxic synth preset is unbelievable. Some of the presets don't sound that good, though. There are already people calling it a "Kemper killer", but others are not on the same opinion...

    Pink Taco with distortion pedals

    I'm thinking of buying a Taco for it's amazing portability and tone, but since it doesn't have a clean channel, I'm wondering how good it is with distortion pedals in front (I like to have different flavours like for example a Diezel VH4 pedal). If I put the Taco in the lowest gain setting and...

    So what’s the consensus on the BE100 Deluxe?

    So the amp has been out for more than a year now and it’s the new flagship of the Friedman line. The people who have it, still love it? I heard some complains about the amp having a fuzz kind of tone and being too dark, but that’s probably user error? I love the rawness and the brightness of...

    Friedman Jake E Lee Master Volume

    I'm really tempted to snag one of the few Jake E Lee limited amps that are available in Europe now, but I can't try it. So my question is: it's the master volume as good as other Friedman amps? Can it sound good at bedroom levels? I had a BE100 2016 and was very good for that purpose, I hope...

    Modern JCM800's, are they any good?

    Lately, I've seen some videos of some JCM800's that really blown me away. The one with Lee Malia and the That Pedal Show guys and also some of the videos of this guy: zFTV8pqT-Nk But seems that all those amazing Marshall sounds are from Marshalls of the 80's. Are nowadays JCM800's not as good?

    Friedman Twin Sister Johan Segeborn video

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNDyS4VJj74 Wow, amazing video by Johan. I didn't expect the Twin Sister to sound that aggressive and raw, as Johan himself mentions, it can do a great impression of early Metallica tones. It kind of gives me gas... But I read elsewhere that the Jake E Lee amp...

    More mini amps in the future?

    Mini amps are all the rage right now, we all know that. And Dave can make awesome mini amps that sound so close to their big counterparts (Pink Taco, Mini Dirty Shirley, JJ Jr). All the Friedman goodness in a portable package and also far more afforable than the big amps. I think a mini...

    Friedman Plexi

    So, I totally love how the plexi channel of the new Jake E Lee signature sounds. Beautiful cleans, beautiful edge of break up and pretty aggressive crunchy tones up to the classical AC/DC kerrang. And I was wondering: is it possible to take that awesome plexi channel and add a switch to make it...
