New Friedman "Merkin" 50-Watt Amp

  • Thread starter Thread starter Superunknown
  • Start date Start date
50 watt head, el34 tubes. High input is sort of like the BE. Low input is a more plexi type circuit. The power section is kind of a jtm45 but no tube rectifier but similar lower filtering. Comes with a loop and a saturation switch for those that must have it. Price I believe will be 2499.99. No you can't a/b the inputs. It also has a thump knob the can tailor the low end. Need that to roll it out of the plexi side. Any other ?'s. Oh and the box for it will be offset with the logo to the left as usual.
 
Should start shipping in about 6 weeks is a guess. Parts are being ordered next week. Just need to wait for them to come in.
 
So, I asked my Irish bride this morning if she knew what a Merkin was.

She replied, "yes, someone from the USA".
 
Can we get a demo of both input tones? Also take us through the Thump knobs settings?
 
For the guys too serious to handle the silly name....think of George Bush....he is proud to be a..Merkin.

Smile, life is funny.

The amp sounds great, different from the BE. Different low end punch, lots of fun to play.

BTW, it was the Canadian in the shop that came up with the name. Maybe I'll be a Merkin someday too, or at least I'll get to play with some of you Merkins.

Some Merkins are way too serious, lol.

Hey Mark !

Since you got the naming "rights" ..., I'd have went w/ Comfy Beaver if I were you .... ;) .... :D
 
honestly.. the "merlin" would have been timeless and classic.

got to spend some time with this amp at the L.A. Amp Show. A lot of great sounding amps but this one may have been my personal favorite.
