Just bought myself a Runt 20 for $999. I'm in a cover band that plays everything from Elvis to Motley Crue and Def Lep, so I really love its versatility 🤘
My favorite was all of them
Really love the Dean you're playing at the opening of the video!
😂 well played, sir.
11:45 Runt
15:57 jj
6:10 taco
Its a les paul custom
@@draper858 This video was posted the day after news broke of Gibson's trademark lawsuit against Dean.
Pink Taco absolutely slays 🤘
Love your playing style man. Excellent chops.
That Les Paul Custom is insane. It looks so much like Randy’s. If Gibson didn’t price their VOS or M2M models so much it’d be MINE!
Pink taco sounds so unbelievably good. I only wish it also had a clean channel.
You can get one now just add a UAFX Dream 65 or UAFX Ruby in 4 cable mode to your pedal board and BOOM a clean channel.
The Dirty Shirley is still definitely my favorite Friedman out of the range. It's got that Marshall British bark without being overly saturated.
With the BE-OD Pedal .. Soooth ..
YESSSS!!!!! Killer playing as always..
Fantastic demo! I have a good understanding of the differences between models. The guitar playing was also very enjoyable.
The Hunter!!! Nice!
Nice sneaking some TOTO in there while playing the Runt!!! Luke is the man!!I love my PT 20 so I’m staying put.. Great video all around👍👍
Always Love your Play Threw Comparisons. Thank You. Going with the JJr Hands Down!!!!
All are great amps. That playing and tone during the first PT segment is just insane. Wow.
Great playing!
superior playing! They all sound great.
Great demo. I have a JJJr head and 1x12 cab & a mini Dirty Shirley 1x10 combo I use in stereo. Nice!
As always, Jack knocks it outta the park. Kudos, bro'.
Runt for me. Not sure why... Maybe the way it compresses? Anyway, really dig that one. Especially clean.
Would love to see a demo of the Buxom Betty, both with a Lester and a strat.
Cheers
I like all of these amps. My favorite is The Runt 20
Think I've only ever seen videos of this guy playing single coils.
Really digging him playing humbuckers. Great playing and tones.
The best demo i've seen of these on youtube. Also great playing!
Excelente playing tones and demo, especially playing with guitar volume knob.
I gotta say kudos to Dave. He really made these amps quite distinguishing from each other. That all do their own thing quite well without being too close to each other. Especially the taco n Shirley. For 2 Marshall type tones, each fantastic representations of the mark and very different sounding.
Just picked up a runt for $800. Great little amp. Loud as he'll and clean tone with a little gain is where I like it. Using it with a 64 Es335 reissue. Really nice!
Great playing man!
Thats my frickin" amp!!!! Love my pink taco so freakin' much. It is my absolutely favorite amp ever.
great demo playing. they all sound amazing. sweet custom paul helps ;) thumbs up. the pink taco really sounded best to me, the shirly seemed friendlier but darker, runt did it all and the jj was too fizzy for me. my amp is a 5150ii and dialing out fizz, but keeping it high gain is a skill.
Excellent demo!
I've seen the absolute best products demoed by your store and none of them can match your playing. You look like you couldn't be older than 25 but you sound like you've been a master for at least 25 years. 💪
It's Not Love intro by Dokken with the Runt! I think the Runt is the most versatile of the bunch. The Pink Taco has an impressive high gain sound but after a while you need some more versatility.
Killer playing dude! Friedman Amps rock!
Great demo.
Fantastic review! I like the PT and the runt! I was not sure about the runt but you sold it to me!
Finally someone did this
Best intro ever!!! The Thing That Should Not Be!!!! 🤘
The Runt shines.
Great review!
Cool video, all the Friedmans sound great but my favourite is the JJ.
Great comparison. My take away: Runt 20 most versatile jack of all trades master of none; Pink Taco optimized for that classic Marshall plexi sound but maybe better; Dirty Shirley if you want a led zeppelin, or classic lower gain sound; and the JJ for that high gain, metal. Each would do any. Great video and comparrisons.
Thanks man
Perfect
Great playing young man. lol I have the PT and love it. DS is really tempting.
I studied these amps from one end to the other and I'm glad to say I bought the JJ. It is so fitting for the way I play plus the variety of tones you can get from this amp is amazing. He didn't mention it but there are some small hidden bright switches on it that really bring out the highs. It also includes a pedal for the channel switching on the unit.
Pick the one that suits you best, but for around $1,500.00 you can't go wrong.
15 thousand??? Or 15 hundred?
@@eyedunno8462 hell yes 15 thousand. LOL Just joking. My fat fingers put the comma in the wrong spot. 15 hundred.
Great shootout!
Pink Taco for sure! Will be getting mine soon , thanks!!!!
zzr750 I just bought a pink taco based off this video. Hope you got yours!🤘🏼
sweet playing! damn
I’ve got the mini ds and the jj jr. the jj jr is a beast but there is just something special about the mini ds. It may be one of the all time great Amps.
15:53 Barbarian 🤘🖤 Great playing as ever 👏
Came here to solidify my decision to buy the JJ but I will say....that PT! Wow. All are great in their own way.
I am loving the pink taco and I wish you had used the tele in the background with it
clarity taco, job done, pedals in loop
Fantastic demo Thought I wanted a DS but was really impressed with the Runt Very cool What kind of out board gear do you use when recordings
I like the new JJ Jr. Friedman amp.
Love the Shirley...wish it had the clean setting of the JJ...stellar!
That Fokken Dokken!!! Killer man!
I was surprised to hear “the hunter” too!
Dude!!!! You threw ToTo in and nobody noticed!!! Nice move 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Biggest difference I noticed was they all had different names, and some had more gold than black. Otherwise, they all sounded flipping amazing.
Glad I found this thanks
JJ all the way. It looks like it might be very versatile. Just ordered one.
Did you get one?!
I play Mesa but need to scratch a Marshall itch and it seems the jj does that and then some, super tempted...
@@Hoscitt I don’t have the junior, but I have the 100 watt and boy does it rule. In comparison I have a PRS Archon, Peavey 5150 block letter, and a handwired Plexi clone. The Friedman is def my favorite of the bunch. Can get super heavy or can do the classic rock and 90s rock Marshall tones really well. Only probably now is that I want more Friedmans
Well the runt is a close contender with the dirty shirley. Amazing for a price that is still reasonable. There are all great sounding. No winner here they all have their sound. It's up to the player and personal taste...
Top notch player!!!
Dude, those mid range high gain chords are ABSOLUTELY SICK .. such a unique snarly sound
The PT20 is handwired and point to point wiring.
Best of the bunch but they're all awesome.
I love the high gain tone of the pink taco. It really sounds like the rock and metal of the late 70s,80,and 90s. Just wish it had a clean channel as well.
You can get one now just add a UAFX Dream 65 or UAFX Ruby in 4 cable mode to your pedal board and BOOM a clean channel.
Fantastic playing and demoing of these amps capabilities. You make it hard to choose! What cabinet are you playing them in?
I was debating if I should sell my Pink Taco and get the JJ Jr, but now I know my Pink Taco sounds better to my ears!
Love mine. I would be okay with a Dirty Shirley sitting on top of my PT though. :)
Would love to have both PT & JJ. Loads of options with the two of them.
Great tones, great playing!
I think Friedman has the best 20 watt amps and wish the new Marshall’s were better. I like the overdrive tone of the PT but the clean channel of the Runt. For me I think the JJ sounds over saturated, maybe the tone is different with less gain? Can you get that PT/jcm800ish tone from the Runt?
I was really impressed with the pink taco. But this boy is playing is phenomenal! He could probably make a pig nose on its last leg sound good underwater.
What cabs? All V30's or did you mix 30's and GB's? Great playing as always.
yes
Amazing comparison, you can clearly hear the differences in eq, vocing, gain when you have the same box, mic placement etc... Taco wins it for me..
Great series. Victory Amps would be a killer group to do as well!
Dude the pink tacooooooo
Digging the mini. Little more practical volume wise yet plenty loud for a gig
You guys always just get the best tones out of gear. Andertons is a channel I love the personalities on but god dam they always have such shrill, thin, fizzy tones with no body or tone to them.
Onces you guys open back up fully I'm making the 6 hour treck to get myself either a fridman or Dr Z amp and cab.
All the ones I've listened to on anderton's at least within the past few years have been amazing sound and tone
Does anybody know the name of that first song he played on the Pink Taco? (From around the 5min mark) Wanna learn that!
Based on another review video, I was 100% certain I wanted the JJ. However, in this video it sounded buzzy. Now I'm leaning towards the PT-20 based on how it sounded here, but I'm not sure. Was really liking the versatility of the JJ so I'm feeling torn now.
Was in the same boat. I was sure I'd love the PT-20, but decided that 2 channels would be better for gigging and pedals so I pulled the trigger on a JJ- Jr. I think the BE mode gets me close enough to PT-20 sound so I'm pretty happy
This les paul is a dream
Hello, thanks for the nice shootout, personally I found the sound of the JJ absolutely amazing! I have one question though, is it loud enough to gig with? I would really like to see a 50W version...
100% loud enough to gig with! The on-board cab sim will work a treat for live settings, too.
@@PeachGuitarsReally?? That's sound like a good news. Do you reckon that also the clean channel can stay "rather clean" at gig levels??
@@PeachGuitars how does the cab SIM work with effects?.. my understanding is the direct out will only run dry without any effects added, is that correct?
AliceRemainsAus yes
@@claudiopetucco @peaches Guitars I second this.?
Any chance you might do a comparison of how these Friedman models clean up with a strat and Hendrix type tones?
Yes please
What speakers were in the cab? I'm interested in getting the runt from you guys but in some vids it's very bright. In this one it sounds better though
They all sound pretty good on the cleaner channels. Could have just been what you played, but I thought the Runt did a nice job of mildly breaking up as you dug in from its chimey cleans.
The gain sounds were nice too I guess, but without a band, they don't do much for me.
What kind of speakers in the cab were you using? Was it the same for all?
Fantastic demo and playing. Do you think 20 watts is enough to gig out in a small to medium club without tapping in to the sound system?
Hell yes.
this video makes all the Fortin amps look and sound way better lol I prefer the BE-OD pedal with a Fortin head
what pedal are you stepping on? Sounded great
Oh boy... You got me there playing The Thing That Should Not Be right of the bat.
I guess it was the JJ Jr. Sounded good.
Good spot! Yes, the opening clip is the JJ Jr.
What is that starting at 5:00? I loved it.
I love the PT, but man... those in-between tones on the DS...
haha The Hunter by Dokken was also the first thing I played when I got my Pink Taco
John Evered happy with the PT?
Do you think that the pink taco missing some Presence?
Came thinking i want a jj jr.... leaving thinking i need a pink taco
That dirty Shirley though....
What's the point of switching to the JBE mode if you turn down the gain too?
Rashid Sivaji because you can!
It adds a fair amount of compression
Great amps!
Showing the dirt from the amps but using a overdrive pedal?
What's your view on the JJ JR being used as a 'bedroom amp'? Does tone suffer at lower volumes?
I'll say even my 50 watt Smallbox is great at bedroom levels.
@@muzjikstb Same with my Butterslax
I think that whole "needs to be loud" things is a myth. I have a Mesa JP2C half stack that I use to jam in my room and while it does sound fuller at higher volume, it certainly doesnt sound bad at volumes I can talk over.
I think friedman's have the best master volume in the biz. The first time I plugged into a be100 I was amazed how well it sounded at 3RD FLOOR NIGHT TIME APARTMENT VOLUME LEVELS!!! FYI thats quiet. haha
All Friedman amps have amazing master volumes. I will say the mini ds master seems a bit better than the jj jr. to my ears the jj jr gets louder at lower volume setting. Seems to jump a bit. Probably due to the higher gain structure on it.
How loud are you playing? Many amps lose this tone at higher volumes
The amps are all great but the playing is just phenomenal and suits these amps so well! Not to mention that LP is killer as well!
The Hunter!!
Great playing. What's the riff at 12:38 to 12:54?
It’s the bridge section of Toto - “Falling In “Between”
would be better if these were all 30-40 watt amps. I just find 20 watters lack balls. Had the Mesa 25/5 head and sold it quickly. Thinking about getting the small box 50 watt combo and matching 1 12 cab
