First time I've seen a Friedman attempting to give you the features of a Mesa in a small head.

I just saw this pic on my IG, too. Do you know what the top amp is? I am guessing maybe a prototype of the new Phil X 20w?

Sounds really cool. Great playing, too. Talk about a sizzle reel!

Maaan I hope that new AC30 tribute delivers the goods. Seems like a cool concept.

Also as far as the driftwood atlas: this was not an amp where the artist “told them what he wanted” in an amp like the majority of signature products are…not at all. The owner of driftwood literally came to marks studio and sat there with mark listening in his room designed by the best studio builder in the world roger Darcy, and did everything in real time. They changed out tone stacks, soldered and unsoldered parts for 2 weeks straight, in arguably the best sounding room money can buy, all while listening to it mic’d up for utmost accuracy. This is not your typical signature product, I can tell you that.
The 3rd channel is exactly the same gain staging as the 2nd, but with a different tonestack: a more vocal midrange, while the 2nd channel is punchier and more balanced EQ wise. So, it’s not like a VH4 or something where the 4th channel is basically useless and over the top compressed with just more gain etc. 200 watt transformers, its gonna absolutely crush.

Synergy now lists the Marshall JCM 800 as an officially licensed module on their website. Can't wait to see it unveiled.

Looks like maybe a BE50, Jose and BE100 in the background as well. The guitar might be something new as well?

Haha, I'll admit that the marketing pitch could have used some simplification.
I think it allows you to get "machine learn" (bit lost with that part, how is that thing a computer) how a real cabinet responds when a signal is fed into it, and then dictate how much or how little that machine learnt impedance response is when you plug straight into the FOH or a mixer with the cabinet disconnected.
You can also have your IRs loaded in the machine, and apparently those will also be subjected to this machine-learnt algorithm that dictates how the cabinet responds.
I could be completely wrong of course, but this is what all that marketing spiel apparently means. To me at least, after reading that gobbledy gook haha

The guitar says Friedman, but the design is the same as the Akira Takasaki Anchang Star guitar that ESP makes. Friedman's booth looks awesome, I've never been to NAMM.

Hopefully he doesn’t take all the chime and personality out of Vox the way he does Marshall.
