👍 if you did the Layne Staley "oooooooohhhhh" at 0:08
I even looked over my shoulder thinking Scary was on his way 🤟
here I am
Was glad to see the cut that sounded more like the creators lane too.r
I love your videos, someday you should make a cover of Anger Rising
This channel has some of the best tones I have ever listened to.
I love him because he doesn't play on a mix ... Most of us dont record so we dont care... If you like channels like his check lambchopper678... He has some 🔥tones as well
The tone and riffs are sensational
It's true, he's criminally underrated.
For sure, he’s the best on CZcams. No one else comes close.
@@thomasmalz4111 100% agreed!
Superunknown was a flawless tone recreation, congrats on absolutely nailing that
Man that riff in High Road is always killer
I've always thought of Friedman as kind of the Marshalls that should have been before Marshall went down the road of digital reverbs and noise gates and fancy midi channel switching stuff. 2 channels, a couple gain knobs, and your guitar's volume pot should be all you need and these amps definitely prove that.
Your demos are always incredible!! Thanks for this!!
Man, the tones you get are always killer! It's mind blowing, honestly.
Those amps sound great but if you don’t have the hand skills it don’t matter . You brother you got the hands . Awesome video thanks .
We need more Soundgarden!! So glad i got to see them in 2014!!
Friedman's make you feel better as well as play and sound better. Dave is an Alchemist Wizard of Amps. Very nice demo.
That first riff always sounds insane on a Friedman/Bogner for some reason, like you can demo every Marshall derivative with it to see if it does "the thing".
LOVED hearing Bed of Razors in there. Immaculate taste.
Bought this amp 4 months ago. No disappointments. It roars thick and clear. I’ve heard some people say it’s dark sounding. I disagree. Great amp.
Really feel like it’s about time to have a video about the red strat story 😎
She’s got it all. Riff master general type tones 🤘🏻
Captures the best tones anywhere on CZcams.
Nice inclusion of the long boi Gretsch.
The tone from the Gibson Les Paul custom is pure tightness, clarity and perfection.
Just bought a JJ100 yesterday. This video put me over the edge on needing one. Great tunes.
Loving the six minutes to midnight at the end!
Channel is basically what's in my head most days.
FINALLY, someone played Them Bones
correctly, thank you for that.
I knew you were gunning for
“The Superunknown” from the first notes. The Cult never sounds right without the big drums production.
Where’s the -Gojira-?
great playing as always! Every video I think, "man that Les Paul sounds great."
sounds killer, and great riff choice as always
Incredible sounding amp. Seriously wow!
Zach does it again. Fantastic!
The amp sounds BROOTAL! I have yet to hear a bad tone from you my man, absolutely KILLER demo once again! \m/
right when I saw this video I was wondering which song was going to be the intro you did not disappoint!!
Nice work Zach, you nailed Jerry’s tone! I always discover new bands from the riffs you play which is always a bonus! You introduced me to teenage wrist awhile back. Such a good band. Your demos have seriously become my favourite music related vids to watch! 😊🤘
thanks for also making me a fan of Gretsch! JEEEZ!
Great great great!!!! one of the best videos I've ever seen! great sound and great playing!
Superb in everyway.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Damn,,, thats some serious nice leading gain sound !
Just MASSIVE!
Love that tone!
Sounds killer! Dream amp.
Well done again!
Zach, you should make a video showcasing all your guitar collection, sharing specs, opinions and tones of each guitar. Cheers, brother. Your tones are legendary.
ask him about his 7-string
HUUUUUUUUUGE! You rock Zach!
Thats kick ass. All the way. Perfect tone!!
DAMN! Red Giant is such a killer riff, and Jerry starting to incorporate the baritone is so kickazz!
Sounds perfect🤟
Awesome! Great rock tones and loved how it cleaned up. I have the PT combo that also rocks.
Nice playing and I really think you did the amp justice. When you got out the silverburst lp I was expecting some Tool riffs, but it didn't happen. Liked and you got a new subscriber!
Yes ! Great Demo!
Brawny, I like that adjective. The "Brawn sound"," sounds great!
This has been my favorite rock/hard rock amp since released. It just has THAT sound I want to hear. Even will do metal with certain kinds of boosts in front. I have the JJ Jr, which mimics the 100 flawlessly, but I have to grab the big brother and throw a 4x12 under it. Great demo.
Do you find the junior lacks bass response?
@@asianaxeman for a 20 watt EL84 amp, it does not. It actually gets loud fast, and has a deep, warm low end. Just keep in mind being a smaller amp it won’t keep up with a 100 watt, or move as much air. But it definitely is full and rich sounding through a 2x12 or 4x12, definitely is gig capable and won’t sound like a tiny amp.
Have you had any other experiences with Friedman amps? I’ve torn on what to choose.. the Runt 20, JJ jr, or Pink Taco
@@Childofbhaal Yes; I’ve played all 3. The Runt is a great little head for the money; it gets the BE tone but also has its own voice. Surprisingly great with cleans and taking pedals. The Pink Taco I only played once and I thought it (IMO) was somewhere between the BE and Small Box. Its modeled after the BE-100, and it definitely has that tone. I think for all around gorgeous tube tone from Friedman in this little heads, the PT is a winner. The JJ Jr has a different kind of clean, borrowing from a Ac30, it has the main BE channel, and the Jerry voiced JBE. Its a thicker saturated HBE voiced to his liking, fwiw. I prefer the JJ in general; its a sound I’ve been searching for. Its a tough call between the two (I out the Runt below them but not for anything bad).
Ahah loved the Children Of Bodom part! Rip Alexi!
sounds amazing Zach
That was the best playing snd best tone I've seen in any video
Thanks so much for the kind words!
That Gretsch looks and sounds AWESOME!
Love my Friedman !
Sounds great, as always! I liked the JJ when I tried one, but I ultimately went with the SS100.
Thanks Jason! Yeah, can't go wrong with either of those two.
I am listening in my den and my Mark IV excused itself from the room.
Terribly good times. Especially the Soungarden.
high road sounded soooo illll!!!
love what you did with the bodom part
“Wildflower!!!!” 🤘🤘🤘
Amazing job. Killer amp
Great demo and some awesome tones!! Cheers Zach!!
Thanks so much Ben! Appreciate it.
was kinda expecting a G&L Commanche,
but you covered the bases.
good job !
inspiring Tone !
Wow , instant Jerry tone 👍
Damn that was amazing!
Yeah man you are the demo king.
I loved mine when I had it. I was always between the JJ and the Butterslax. Both amazing Friedmans!
you know a lot of cool songs!! Hope you're writing some great stuff too.
Sounds incredible!
Amp is great. Sounds amazing. I know it's expensive but you get what you pay for. Wish I could afford. Hopefully someday 😊😊👍💯🤞🤞🎸🎸
realy good kinda sound like a plexi !! great work my friend !!!!
"You take the high road now.."
Finally my amp yay 🎉 I think I need a Friedman cab for it as well. You make it sound awesome! Also: looking at the settings at the beginning that must have been LOUD 😅
Fuckin Maiden \m/
Killer tones as always Zach!
What a beast!!!! one of the best head I've ever tried, I also liked it a lot without using anything in front. Compliments once again Zach!!
So cool you played mastodon! 🤘🏻
Massive!
You doing a great job dude. Realy nice work.
Thanks so much! Appreciate it.
thats road rash guitar themes sounds very nice
I like that amp Alice in chain is my favorite band
Dope throwing down some Highroad on the gretsch!
Sounds great!
Nice clips. Enjoyed the JJ I had, very close to the JMP 2204 I had at the time, but with more gain, better master volume and effects loop. Have a Phil X now, and just love it. Hit's the bullseye.
Thanks! Yeah, I used the Phil X and the main amp in one of my bands for a few years. Loved that amp. I'm generally a single channel amp guy, so it was right up my alley.
@@ZachWish Single channel is where it's at for me, too. I have the X, an 84 4104, the SLO100 and a few others. The X is close to my 4104, bit more refined, but love what it does. Cheers, rock on!
Dawg tell me why I just had a feeling Superunknown was coming during that little soft jam?? Awesome stuff.
Damn that sounds nice!!
sick videos
We need to see you try the Bogner Ubershall Mk2 🤤🤤🤤. Awesome playing and tone per usual.
Awesome, Zach! I've been debating on the BE 100 Deluxe. How would you say the two compare?
Thanks! They're reallllllly similar to my ears. The BE-100 Deluxe has a ton of flexibility with the gain structure switch, frequency, response, and thump controls, so you can pretty much get the JJ-100 sound out of the BE-100 Deluxe, but it's really splitting hairs at that point. I like the Plexi Channel as the clean channel on the BE-100 Deluxe as well. Great for cleans or that driven AC/DC-ish kind of thing. To my ears, the JJ-100 sounds a hair less compressed and "dry" in a good way. Punchy & ballsy. But really, very subtle differences. I would be happy with either. I tend to like simpler amps with less options and really never change channels, so most of the Friedman lineup works well for me. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@ZachWish Subbed because top tier comment reply
@@ZachWish thanks for the reply! I run a chorus, delay, and reverb in a loop. Had a lot of bad luck with loops…would you recommend like an MXR analog chorus, maybe a mini TC delay and verb for mono, or will it gas out the signal?
Another banger vid, great playing and tones. I would love to hear you demo a Fryette Deliverance if you get the chance. Or a JEL-100. Or any Metropoulos or 3rd Power head. :)
JJ is by far my favorite Friedman! Butterslax is second! Dave makes killer amps!
Great video and playing as usual Zach! Great selection of guitars too. I have a JJjr that scratches that Cantrell itch. My goto Friedman’s right now are the SS100V2 and JEL100. Also my favorite one channel amp is the Skeleton Key. You have to try a Skeleton Key brother! Bet you would make a killer video with that fire breather🔥🔥🤘
It sounded great at first but ss soon as you whipped out High Road you had me.
Fantastic riffing... And boy, you sure know how to mic and record a cab! Sounds great!!
Comes with your home in the middle of 100 acres..or optional upgrade..deaf neighbors.That seems to sustain the rift and doesn't seem like its going to give up either..just like rock.Very nice addition to any band.
Great stuff
The Dirt album even has a dedicated channel… nice!
@ZachWish how does the JJ-100 compare to the DLX for the heavy gain? I’ve had a JJ Jr, played both JJ-100 and DLX but not together, and I’m split between getting one of those two 100w heads. I’m aware of the tweaking differences and specs, but for voicing purposes, what is preferred?
Love AIC bro. amp sounds nasty!
I just got a Smallbox 50 head to go with that same 4x12.. I love it. But now I'm thinking of saving up and getting this JJ-100. It was between this and the SB.. I guess I'll never get over playing super heavy riffs and having tons of gain at my disposal. This amp is totally different and if I end up getting it then the tonal spectrum will be covered for sure lol.
killer amp.
I knew I shouldn’t have watched this. 👌
sounds fantastic!
which would you own, SS version 2 or the JJ?
🤤
Friedman company is out of this world.
Awesome playing and tone! Any chance we could get IRs from your cabs?
