I'd Rather Hear The Wreck...

Check out the sexy TW beneath the Friedman in this clip. I wonder if it's an Express or a Pool?

That Friedman 18w is like the JCM800 18w amp I built. Sounds the same.

In my backyard! That Pink Taco sounds great.

Man! What an amp! Nice stuff.

Case reminds me of the old JTM45.

Eh, great lead tone but not what I would call great clean tone. Still, cool amp.

Mark, I have to ask, did you use the typical JCM800 MV, and do you think that this is what we are hearing here? Does you amp sound equally gritty when set to 'clean'? Thanks.

He had his Red Rocket plugged into a Pink Taco.

Stock JCM800 MV and I get nice cleans. I just used the JCM800 schematic but changed power section to PP EL84's and changed bias resistors to 470k/470k with 5k1 grids. Heyboer 18w set trannies.

The Friedman has more distortion/gain then my amp. I tried mine yesterday to compare. Mine is cleaner and gets good distortion but gain knob has to be almost full on. The Friedman has definitely more grind, might have to build one of those as well. Mine has presence too and I would say mine is brighter tone.
