the amp looks great,cant wait to get my super lead back from dave! Hope u can get some clips eventually. I am also curious to how u think this amp stacks up against the other voodoo modded marshall u had before?
JP,
Still Got that... I love all 3 of my amps, and my Bedroom Renegade 65w as well.
Others, EDIT: Danno Asked! END EDIT. asked the same thing, so I will try to elaborate... But The Friedman is not Broken in or Dialed in yet... It takes time to get a new amp sorted... but initially I can say this:
The 79' JMP HG JOSE Platinum has Mercury Trannies and a Circiut board as does the CCV. The 73' Friedman has stock Iron that might be even better, and it is point to point. The caps are not formed on the Friedman yet, and I have some funky EL34BSTR tubes in there, that I'm not familar with.
But right now as it sits, the Friedman has more Gain and Bottom end than the JOSE, which can only be a good thing for me, cause I'm Deep Punch Freak, It's Thicker, and Punchier.
Feel is slightly better with the JOSE, but again that can be contributed to the New Caps and Tubes.
The JOSE is More just a 80's Hard Rock Amp, and the Friedman can get a little more EVIL, and dip into the New Metal Territory... But IMO you need something Tighter For Speed Metal, so that fast Rythmm Chugging does not get Blurry and stays articulate...
That is where the CCV come in... It can do the 80's thing, Maybe not as great as the other two?? And, I give the Feel nod to the other 2. Again this is My Opinion, But the CCV is TIGHTER, So... you can do the Nu-Metal Stuff NO SWEAT... So ultimately the CCV will be a little more Versatile... It also Has that
GRIND the others don't anyone who's played a Cameron knows what I mean
Also, the CCV Is MORE BRUTAL, And VIOLENT! With My CAMERON CAB w/ 4 CL80's It has so much Punch IT HURTS!
Bottom Line is They are ALL GREAT... Like Ice Cream but are all Different Flavors... Only you could know which one you like the taste of best!
The Friedman Sure Is AMAZING, Time Will Tell when it's fully broken, and dialed in How Great It Gets...
