Hi, maybe someone could help me out with this :confused:
Im currently looking for another 4x12 cab and narrowed it down to either a Friedman or an older Marshall cab (with Blackbacks or 90s UK Greenbacks). Anybody here who has played the Friedman and knows how they compare to Marshall cabs?

Thanks :rock:
 
I owned a Friedman 4x12 and an early 80s Marshall that I put a quad of 90s “Made In England” Greenback reissues in. Personally I prefer the older reissue greenbacks and the lighter more resonant Marshall cab. Both sounded good, just different. I ended up swapping the two v30s in the Friedman out for Greenbacks and it was a step in the right direction for me. Ultimately though the older speakers in the older cab just sounded better to my ears. Your results may vary.

I heard a rumor from a little birdy that Friedman’s personal “bench” cabinet has those older English made reissue greenbacks in it.
