Friedman Jose First Impressions

[Yehuda]

I spent most of the day yesterday dialing in more rock style tones, but today I got a really good heavier sound out of the amp- I’m pretty impressed it can get this gainy.

Definitely has a sound my other amps don’t get for me

I think this amp sounds really good from the vids and clips I have seen thus far. That said, it sounds a bit like your trying to dial it in to sound like a modern metal amp...and that's not where this amp shines in my opinion.

Yeah agreed- I posted a more rock tone on YouTube before this though

Scratchy compression

Thanks for posting regardless. Post the other video as well if you don’t mind.

Im in the minority here, but I like it

Yehuda, your amp sounds better than my BE50. The chug tone sounds tighter and more sizzly to my ears. You're doing all this without a boost? Based on what I've heard, it sounds like I would live on the Vintage Presence mode. I did put my BE50 up for sale a while ago, because I was considering putting that towards a Jose. I don't love that it's a single channel amp, but it's not like it's a simple one trick amp.

after playing one, i get the impression that it wants to be played really LOUD to extract the magic.
