Can it Chug? Friedman Little Sister vs Friedman JEL-20 vs Soldano Astro 20

[HowieJams]

I had somebody on the forums ask me if any of my amps can chug, I am not a metal guy, but I decided to give them a try.

I actually think I liked the Friedman Little Sister the best, it takes pedals so well.

I used the amps alone and also with a TS808 mini and a Boss SD-1.

Curious to see what you all think.

The Soldano is a cool amp, 4 footswitchable channels/galaxies.
It really does not need any pedals, plenty of gain from crunch to solo and nice cleans.

Take some Ritalin or Adderall for that ADHD, lol.
Seriously, I was just explaining the settings, the rest is all playing.

Hmm. I think it cant chug just because i cant tell what you are doing? Are there palm mutes?

Sounds cool, but there isnt any punch coming through.

Had volume low, I should have turned it up.

Too much noise to be an effective demo.

I agree, not my best

I was surprised to hear that I liked the DS more than the JEL. I've never tried a DS or TS, but I've always wanted to hear what the rave is all about. Someone said that amps "warts" and is more like a real Marshall.
