Friedman Brit-50 Head

[JonPearson1994]

Sweetwater really need to hire better demonstrators for high gain amps. Don Carr is a good player but he's completely out of his element here. And Nick Bowcott, well... he seems like a nice guy, but....

It's hard to even tell what this amp actually sounds like.

I actually like that they have Nick there. He isn't an especially tight player but part of the problem with some of the demo crowd is that they are such stellar players, they make everything sound good and you can't really judge the merits of the amp itself.

Of course it would be nice if they had someone that leaned more towards modern stuff.

This is quite a cool amp for somebody who doesn't own any Friedman amp yet.

Sucks that the Presence pot is at the back ... just... WHY?!

Thanks! That guitarist is just too damn good. After watching that and many others, I’ve come full circle and realized that the “plexi thing” is just too damn bright for my ears - although in a mix it would probably help cut.

I also watch the Pete Thorn vid on the new Suhr 68 and same think. I came across a video of the Marshall modified JCM 800 with the Scary Mod and it opened that amp up. makes me wonder what the JMP 1959 Modified would sound like with the Mr. Scary Mod.

When I went back to Sweetwater video on this Friedman Brit 50, it always sounds way better than all the others. I don’t know if it’s something they are doing with post processing because it also sounds more direct. So it could be that this Friedman is different or the way they are recording

Jack is one of the better you tubers for demos. He doesn't go full-on metal, but he does great demos.

Nick is like watching a midget run track.

Nick is like watching a midget run track.

And that's supposed to deter me?!

Looks like he copied the Ceriatone JCM 52 all Access.

yes - it does look exactly like that to me ha

I find Nick Bocock very distracting. Talks like he has socks in his mouth.
He'd make a fine Santa however.

Maybe is filling a more expensive version of the Runt 50. Thought it does seem like it has a touch more gain available than the Runt.

I like it. Seems like a small box v2.
