FRIEDMAN JOSE - New demo video

[RoccoPezzin]

Great vid Rocco!

I remember your demo of the BE-100 Deluxe helped me decide on getting that amp. Do you still have that amp or are you just rocking the Friedman Jose now. Curious to see what your amps of choice are now a few years later.

Thanks man, I had to sell the BE in order to get the Jose, if money was no object I would have kept both!

One more question for anyone who owns the Jose: Is the feel more liquid than the BD100? I read somewhere that the notes "stick" to your fingers, and this made me wonder if the Jose has the similar liquid feel as a Mark series. One of my favorite qualities of the Mark IV I own is that leads feel like they play themselves.

To me the Jose feels quicker, more immediate than the BE100, but it is by no means a stiff amp to play. When you're in the clipping diodes modes the sound becomes more compressed and gets closer to the BE feel under the fingers, but with more teeth in the upper frequencies. I don't think it quite reaches the level of gain of your Mesa, but it definitely has plenty.
