    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.

    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.

      @@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.

    • @Childofbhaal

      Have you had any other experiences with Friedman amps? I’ve torn on what to choose.. the Runt 20, JJ jr, or Pink Taco

    • @12breacher82
      @12breacher82 Před rokem

      @@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).

    • @ZachWish
      @ZachWish  Před rokem +12

      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.
