New Friedman "Merkin" 50-Watt Amp

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.

How much gain did it have? Old VH? John Sykes?

I didn't look where the gain knob was set, but it was way more than old VH. Probably Sykes gain territory. And I was using a strat with a Hot Stack Plus, so a bucker would be even more gain.

Have you ever heard or played Bray 4550?

just clips. I walked into the room at the Amp Show but it was pretty full (not one playing ) and I didn't have a lot of time so I split.
