FRIEDMAN JOSE - New demo video

[ners]

What's also interesting to me is that the amp does not have a thump knob, but it sounds like you don't need it. Maybe because it's 100 watter?

Doesn't have one because the original Marshalls didn't have one. Sonically I think Dave was keep it originally and only upgrading the non-tonal stuff like switching.

Great to see new content from you! I remember watching your videos 10+ years ago. Arguably the best this amp has sounded in clips so far.

I agree with this completely, I didn’t have much interest in this either till now, this is much more in line with what I expected to hear from it. Yes, it’s not a gain monster for sure, but if you have the feel to get all those nuances and overtones (and Rocco clearly has them in spades) it will sound amazing in a way that you just can’t get with current monster gain circuits. I love monster gain circuits and I have more than a few of them here, but none of them sound like that.
I also noticed that when Rocco is alternate picking a chug it sounds like he’s playing all downstrokes, which is really fucking hard to do.
Well done lad

@RoccoPezzin One last thing I want to mention -- at 11:30, I'm kind of surprised you were able to get that tone out of this head. It reminded me of my Mark IV a bit. This thing sounds like it can metal, so I'm not sure why people say it's just for rock.

Honestly, you can't trust people on the internet for good information. Even with the best of intentions, you are never going to read an opinion from someone who is going to experience the amp the same way you are.

Just posted a video testing my new Friedman Jose, this thing is a beast. Tons of tonal options despite being a single-channel amp.

Thank you, nice to hear an actual musical demo of a product

Monster playing. You really do the amp justice and then some! I appreciate the video and it showcases it well.

I do wish it was 1.5 channels with footswitchable pregain and master volume pairs.

Oh yeah it can definitely do classic heavy metal and even thrash, many of those records were boosted/modded Marshalls so it makes sense

That is a sick demo. Thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately that amp will cost the same as a Toyota Prius in where I live.

Had to come back to listen again. I love all of the Demartini, Lynch, and Jake references.

Rocco, have you had a chance to compare this to the Plex?

I’m so happy with the Plex that I decided I have enough amps, if this video was one of the first ones there would’ve been less people who passed on the waitlist for sure

 

[glpg80]

Can someone compare this to the metroplex II?
