Friedman SS100 V2

[Eazy-ESP]

Anyone got one? Anyone got gutshots?

Whether it is valid or not, I have real thing for quality SERVICABLE amps.I've got my amps down to a collection of things like Fryette D120. Marshall JMP 2203. So I am not anti PCB, I just want something that isn't a computer board.

Also... opinions on the amp. It seems really cool. Super expensive though. But I have no amps with an actual clean channel. Plus I like (from the few demos available) how it sounds kind of tight and modern and old school at the same time.

I don’t have one but I played the v1 before, and if the new version of the Suhr PT amp doesn’t blow me away, I am thinking of hitting the new SS next!

Hope we get some reviews in here!

Do you know if the new PT amp will be 100 watter?

Dave's a Tech so the amp will be serviceable, and I have pictures of my BE deluxe and it's built very nice on PCB boards.

Supposed to be a 50w with IR abilities built in.

I had one a few years back. Really liked it! Great sounding amp!
Probably should have kept it.....but I wanted to try something else at the time.

Supposed to be a little more percussive than the BE100. I'm curious as to why they cost $300 more than the BE100. There's fewer options in them.

Ray gun logo = $300.

Do we know if it’s the same transformers? I thought my SSv1 had different trannys than the BE that a buddy had around the same time?

No idea. The few demos I’ve watched surprise me because it sounds more modem and metal than I would have associated with Steve Stevens.

Had one. Cool amp: tight, lots of gain; I thought the SS channel was hotter and more aggressive than a typical BE channel.

Still too dark and on the compressed side for what I typically like. Ended up moving mine after a couple months and got a Wizard RS, which is more my thing.

Is there anyone on this forum that doesn’t have a Wizard?

Yes me. I'd have a better chance of being a wizard than owning a wizard.

It is nuts that most of us are always searching for tones and never ends. I guess it is a good thing though, lol.
