Troll thread LOL Friedman content Too many knobs and switches

[glpg80]

The 74 that I’ve built is tuned to just sound right to my ears. No switches. Could I have added a ton of features and Swiss cheesed the chassis? Sure. However I wanted the sleeper front look combined with the idea that a good amp should just sound good - think 5150 mindset.

With that said my XTC is set it and forget it to me. I was in that playing with features mode dialing in the amp for a week or two and eventually found a setting that works for me and a few others that have asked for settings.

I can relate. As I get older, I need simple and less monkey business.

OP - you better change your signature. LOL.

You are right -I don't know why I did that . I have a bunch of amps but put that one in there! LOL

If you have a bunch of amps then this all makes more sense (to get rid of an amp you don't play because of too many do dads)

I've had two Friedmans (with EL84s), a Friedman modded Marshall, BE OD pedal, etc. but for some reason I never even considered that amp. Just seemed like I would have been overwhelmed by all the knobs, etc.

I don't like alot of choices, especially with switches in the back of the amp. F that shit.

Think of how many people bought the original without all of the options in switching, and later got curious and wanted to mod them.

I have a couple deluxe‘s, I found out that most of the switches are always turned off for my go to sounds and then I just don’t screw with it. I’m more likely to turn the gain or tone knobs down or up before I am to screw with the switches after playing with them a few times, but I’ll never feel the need to ship it in for the various mods ?‍

Never had a reason to complain about options even if I don’t end up using them all

I’m just a clueless monkey with a toy.
