      “I have to give credit to Dave jerden “. First thing outta this humble man’s mouth. I guess I’d be super disappointed if he was still a 50 year old narcissist… but, nice to know one of my favorite musicians ever also rolls with my favorite personality trait - humility.

    There Have Been loads of legendary amp makers whether it be builders or just a person who can mod something already existing. Fender combos to Dumble and those old train wrecks to Marshalls and modded Marshalls as well as Hiwatt. Then Soldano, Bogner and Fuchs. But I don't think anyone has done what Friedman has done. I think Metro makes the best replicas of vintage Marshalls, but Friedman may be the best circuit builder the amp world has seen. He can nail mods like no one yet he can throw together his own new stuff as well. Like the Tesla of guitar amps really. I've played so many of them and they just deliver like nothing I've hooked up too. I've found great sounding Marshall heads over the years and I have a Bogner I wouldn't sell for any amount of money. But the Friedmans I have and have tested are like nothing I've ever heard. Legendary stuff

      L H in case you have not seen this interview with Kinney from August 2018: ruclips.net/video/Tcy_DWUXo2I/видео.html , since I do this never, in case the link did not transfer correctly it was uploaded by superreporter1971 and titled: "Alice In Chains Drummer Sean Kinney On New Album "Rainier Fog" 8-24-2018." Also given his presumed profession"superreporter", he could point you to others.
      Cantrell seems to have remained the spokesman for the band all these years, so it is easier to come up with his, but there are interviews with the others available, especially currently with AIC's Rainier Fog album release in August 2018.

    There's a great video out there about Mike Inez and his Warwick basses, and how when he started with Ozzy, Ozzy right off the bat bought him his first "concert" bass. And while Mike talks over the video, the video itself is the most fascinating - it shows how they actually put the end product together: the painting, the edging, the stringing, adding the frets, drilling & screwing all the special bits & bobs into the neck and head...really quite interesting!

Les Paul, Leo Fender, Seymore Duncan, Paul Reed Smith, Mr. Jackson, Bogner, Dave Friedman, and all to many others to name. All changed the scape of modern music, at one time or another, by putting their inventions into the right hands.
