What to get for my Friedman 1x12’s

That sounds interesting, 3 channels you say ?

Yes, that’s what the man himself, stated. Will be introduced at winter NAMM.

That’s a great amp. I got my eye on that as well.

I liked the Astro 20. Have you tried the Helios JB45? It seems that would be an amp you might like. Vintage character, tons of variations of Marshall and modded Marshall tones, but can also be dialed in with smoother tones more like the XTC with the "modern switch" on the back.. I had UU, Snorkler and JB 45 simultaneously and the JB45 was my favorite and most useful to me playing mostly 70's and early 80's hard rock. (pre hair metal 80's ).

I gotta watch more videos on the JB 45. That’s an interesting amp. I need a good Marshall style with varying degrees of gain to run my Frank Marino pedals into.

The green channel is a great pedal platform. There are not many videos or clips out there from what I can see. Bxlxaxkxe did a real good demo as did Rappaport but you have probably seen/heard those?

Since you want something more Marshally but with more gain if needed and a loop, I think those MGL 50 watters might be the animal you are looking for Carl. I'm guessing the MGL should take pedals well but I haven't played one I'm only going by clips and these amps have everything I like about my Marshalls.

Since you have all your plexi needs covered with the Suhr SL67 then the 2204/2203 platform of the MGL would fill the niche you seem to be looking for.

I watched a few demos. Great sounding amp, for sure.

The MGL is a top choice. I grew up with the 50 and 100 watt early Marshall MV heads, and that WAS my sound.
Even cooler is they do the cosmetics of that head. There was a custom-tolex Blue MGL head that looked awesome.
There are YT demos by some guy named Jordan Steele that are killer.

I love my classic lead 80 in mine
