- Hold on to your hats, folks! We're back and rocking at the 2016 NAMM Show down in Anaheim, California! Greg Koch, the fiend and foe of guitars worldwide, joins us for a rundown of everything Friedman Amps! I tell you, we're all freaking out about these amps, and we're beyond excited to have been able to sit down with Dave Friedman himself to check out his line of amazing amplifiers! Check it out!

I JUST came aboard the Friedman express, took possession of my JJ Junior today and, after everything from Mesa´s to Peavey´s, to Randall´s and several other´s, these audial machines are simply guitar amplification on a different (and in my opinion) higher level. You don´t play THROUGH these amps, you PLAY these amps. The harmonic complexity, the clarity, feel, & TONE are so inspiring, you find yourself not thinking about ¨why is that?¨, ¨what´s causing this?¨, and you just let yourself PLAY (!) which at the end of the day is exactly what a great piece of musical gear is supposed to do, set you FREE! He´s given us guitar players a lot to be happy about, I want Mr. Friedman to take good care of himself so that he´s around for as long as possible for his family and us fans!
"The world is a different place because of your efforts." Amen - thanks Dave.
That Dirty Shirley is UNBELIEVABLE.
recent Friedman convert here. Got a Runt 50 Combo used last week. Can't quit playing.
Great to see credit given where credit is due with Dave Friedman given credit to Egnater for his knowledge.... Greg's playing is "glorious" plus hes soooo funny! great video!
Got my first Friedman last month. Absolutely love it. Dave does amazing work.
Wait til it's a year old and it has mellowed out. You will love it even more!!!
@@goneflying140 bought it about a year used haha (I don't know how much of course, but nevertheless haha)
Dave the mini Dirty shirley is a work of art in sound!
My absolute favorite amps and when I email a question, Dave replies...friggin cool
What’s his email . I wanna have him make me a Naked 2 . The email at tonemerchants is not working
Dave's got the right player for his amps here! Greg is a master of the art!
WRONG... Leo Fender is the man to thank.. Jim Marshall started just like nearly ALL amp makers did and still do today, from a Fender Bassman/Tweed deluxe etc......and changed a values of components here and there...I just wonder where LEO got it from
My first NAMM Show was 2016! Been going every year since then 😅
I own the BE-100 and I just wanted to clarify that the amp is actually the quietist amp I have. I am running it through a Furman Power Conditioner but I run all my amps through it and the Friedman is still the quietest between my Bogner 102B my Boogies and Marshalls. It is just a GREAT amp.
Jack Leyton yep I have the SB limited best amp I own and quiet. I use hbs but in general.
Jack Leyton really? I’m shocked to hear that. Do you need to run an attenuator to play at normal volumes and make it sound killer?
Jack Leyton my SB has the extra gain boost but lie a 3rd channel. It’s the limited. It’s so quiet. Even when gains on 10. I use hbs but still quieter than any other amp I have.
Those who crave the Plexi tone but not the volume! Man this guy makes some great stuff...
awesome to hear almost the complete lineup of amps :) Greg should do that more often.
All of these amps sound amazing. I’ll have to go play one but I think I might have to get one. One thing for sure though. This just goes to show the tone is in the player but the gear helps. Greg sounds like Greg no matter what amp he’s on.
Just bought a PT20 from ..... Wildwood. It's glorious to be local to the best!
WW Smallbox limited is the perfect amp. An extra preamp or micro amp for extra gain. Limited version not the regular version. Lots of gain. It’s perfect distortion. No pedals needed but takes them beautifully. Anything you throw at it. But you truly don’t need them.
Amp guru for sure !!! Amazing amps, really. Big fan.
I have a Friedman PT20. After 50 years of playing and dozens of amps that never quite made me happy with the tone, I find the PT20 to be complete bliss.
57Strat777 had it. Sold it for small box limited. Love it.
What's à pt amp ?
asianaxeman pink taco now called pt.
These amps sounds freakin amazing !
Best video in the whole NAMM! Eargasm
Just to make sure... from 10:31 on, is it the Phil X Signature Head? By far my favorite from all those great amps....
I do not understand how anyone can not love the BE-100?
That amp is everything a good marshall should be.
I concur
Best rock amp ever produced BE 100 FACT
That and the Metropoulos
@@luckylicks3497 Amen. His Good Friend, and Former Business Partner, George Metropolous's Metroplex. I mention what you just did all of the time. I have a Friedman BE-50 Deluxe, with a 4x12 Friedman Speaker Cabinet. Once the Friedman Rig is paid off, I want to get a Metropolous Metroplex. Nobody makes better amps than Dave and George.
@@stuartkelly396 Amen. I have the BE-50 Deluxe...Same tone, minus 50 watts. You need to check out the BE-100 Deluxe, now that it's out. Has quite a few more features, than the BE-100 deluxe, and 3 more features than the BE-50 Deluxe. Good luck on your Tone Quest.
Finally we get to hear from the master himself!
Interesting the comparison of voicing the amp at low volume to mixing at low volume. So true.
andrewt248 i watched the whole video and loved it as I love good amps, wonderful tone and incredible playing. That being said, Dave's comment on voicing at low volume was the most memorable moment. It really is such a crucial truth.
Fantastic interview. Great amps. Awesome all around.
Dave, what is even more amazing than the sheer sound of your amps is the fact that they all sound different. You didn't just open pandoras box, but you solved it! Ummm no you can't use "pandoras box" as a name for an amp. I want mine to be called that if you would make me one. :)
This is awesome! Super Greg taking on "most" of the Friedman line! I've heard Phil X's signature with Phil playing in his personal tone setting, which I love! But it definitely has more options and it's awesome! The Bill Kelliher sounds insane! Very nice Friedman! Now to rob a bank so I can afford one! ;)
they all sounds amazing but HOLY MOTHER OF GOD that Phil X signature amps sounds GODLIKE 0_o
Wow, the one weakness Greg Koch has is palm muting, (thrash metal) style guitar playing. Greg is the best guitar demonstrator I've ever heard, one of the best guitarist period.
Got a dirty Shirley mini and seriously cannot decide between getting a small box or full dirty shirley
People from Detroit do great work with their hands and are always wrenching on something
I'm finally getting ready to pull the trigger on my first Friedman here, while I love the small box as well I'm probably going for the Dirty Shirley or the Twin Sister here. In all honesty they all sound fantastic though imo. Thanks for sharing this video guys.
I see you got the Flux Capacitor here :D
Greg Koch would sound great plugged into anything Give him a bit of flyscreen attached to the +/- terminals of an Electrolysis tank he would still sound great.
How does everyone get so much gain on the BEOD 50 Deluxe channel. I bought one of these used from Guitar Center and it sounds so weak. The only way I can get close to this gain is to max out the gain with the master at eight and the effects return cranked. The switch is on M in the back and I need a SD-1 in front of the amp to get it to bite? I'm sure its user error, but gonna have to return it if I can't figure this out. I see people getting high gain with the master on 2...? how? Thanks everybody.
Saw a Rig Rundown on Jake E. Lee, and he talked how he ended up switching to Friedman, showing off both 50watt and 100 watt models he uses, and OMG they’re AMAZING!!
Great sounds in that room!
Interesting that Dave claims the Steve Stevens model is voiced a little more vintage than the BE 100.. I don't hear that at all..In all clips that i've heard it sounds darker yes like he says but more modern british sounding than the BE if anything IMO..
It's safe to say Friedmans high prices are justified.
A.S.V small box limited the best. No radio stations coming thru like well cough an RB amp. Could’ve been fixed by using a small part but nope. So Friedman’s my favorite.
Jr216, you can't afford one, that's why.
JR216 bro if I can save up and trade and work n work for it u can do it too. I started off and stayed with cheap gear for years. After many years as u get better why can’t we get something decent without ur being jealous. Save it.
@@guitarcleveland I live on Disability and got a 4 year loan through Sweetwater, 0% interest, and bought a Friedman BE-50 Deluxe, with a Friedman 4x12 speaker cabinet, with 2 celestion greenbacks on top, and 2 celestion vintage 30's on the bottom. The cabinet is specifically voiced for his 100 and 50 watt tube amps, and has the best sounding tone combination around. If I can afford a Friedman Rig, living on lifetime disability, I assure you, you can too. It's all about how badly you want it. No better amps out there, with better tone, than his BE Series amps....BE-50 Deluxe, BE-100, and BE-100 Deluxe, that just recently came out. With all of the amazing tonal options on his amps, they're worth every penny that he charges. The demos sound good on here, but if you play one in person, it wil blow you away, with the sound quality, and available features, I assure you. Take the plunge. You won't regret it.
@@guitarcleveland Yes they are if you think about it for 5 seconds or more: the BE100 has three separate channels. You do understand that's a 3-in-1 amp. You can't even get a set of sports wheels on your car for that money. I HATE when people say "hey that's a nice house" or "a nice car" when all that is not necessary. You can live in a shed and still be happy as long as you have good tone.
I played a BE100 at a LA guitar center and wanted one ever since.
A really great sounding collection of amps.
Mr. Friedman make a 5-watt please.
His 50 watters sound good a bedroom level
Chet Djangonator playing Friedman !! I love it !!
Very Nice sounding amps!!!!!
Koch once said tone is 99% in the hands of the player,so...? Wherever It is,It sounds glorious
Love you both. Brilliant player and brilliant amps. Beat that! I just ordered the Pink Taco for my studio and a 100 watt one in a couple of months. Im just not sure which. Dave, I can't say enough good about your amps. Amazing stuff. My perfect amp would be a two Chll. Channel one would be a clean Vox AC30 and tell two would be all friedman BE or perhaps the SS. not sure, but i do know ill be buying more.
Jack Leyton went thru that. Give the way wildwood smallbox limited a try it’s great.
awesome video. thanks!
What about the Koch combo by Koch
I think a white strat/type guitar with black hardware and pickguard might be my favourite look on a guitar.
Why does the BE100 have four mini switches at the front (instead of three)?
Greg should play with this high gain tone all the time. Sounds sweet.
Great amps, great guitar as well! Are they made in house or by Fano?...looks like their headstock.
+Drew Hammond, these are hand built by a small luthier in California. Due to the time it takes to hand craft these incredible instruments, an extremely limited number will be produced. We're proud to announce that we've taken the entire first run. We believe in these that much! Dave's not only a genius when it comes to amplifiers, but guitars too! Stay tuned!
+Drew Hammond it *is* interesting how many appointments it shares with Fano - headstock, bridge, relic style... maybe it's a behind-the-scenes collaboration
intrsoul the original Friedman’s were made by Shabat guitars by hand.
Yes, thats Avi's headlock he ripped off.
B S I don’t think Fano cares since he sold his company. I’ve seen a lot of others with that headstock.
It sure doesn't hurt to have amazing players demo your gear. This stuff sounds super sick. Hand me that guitar and I'll cut your sales in half in one video.
My BE50 dlx is everything I need an amp to be
I live out n the country on 4 acres I play as loud as I please
Greg Koch is a freaking beast player, and a hell of a funny guy he should do stand up comedy
I want a SB bad
Can you tell me what speakers are in the Friedman 4x12 cabinet?
Usually greenbacks with Dave
Dave what Delay/Reverb are you using? I'm assumeing it's a rack unit behind where you were standing.....
2 Roland sde3000 rack units from the 80s for delay. He loves those (and they are great). Vai and Van Halen used them
Greg Koch + Friedman amp is simply godlike
Awesome playing, awesome tone, awesome amps. Is that an awesome guitar?
gear porn at its finest
Dam I really need that Bill Kelliher amp!
Pretty amusing to see Greg right in the middle of a deliberate freakout with that pile of amps available for his perusal. That is an expensive room of amps right there. I'll take one of everything please !
There's a lot of man in that room!!!
Greg is a beast
like the pt-20 a lot. Thinking about that or a Bad Cat
Dave Friedman talking about snowballing 😂😂😂
how bout Greg Koch Friedman Smallbox signature amp? Here me Mr Friedman!?
Sweet Mother!!
13:57 "Yes"
I need A Friedman so bad! one day....oh yes.....one day! :)
17:51 Power Rangers lick. NOICE
They sound fucking insane !!!!!!!!!
MIC PLACEMENT!! cmon guys!! Friedmans Lav mic is scratchy as hell. MOVE IT UP a little more. use a little tape. fer gods sake.
Wich pickups are on the guitar?
The sasquatch touch!
I want the butterslax....
Will you all be selling Friedman guitars?
+zazuzonker YES! Wildwood has the entire first run heading our way! Contact us at sales@wildwoodguitars.com for more info!
This man is a genius
Dave or Greg, or both?
Greg stop pushing combos would ya?
SERIOUSLY!
Jim Ryder yes agree. Why not heads? They’re so much cooler. Why combos Greg? 🤫🤮
Yeah no shit... watt weenies.
The low gain sounds are great, but i dont dig the cranked ones.
it's probably greg's style that is affecting you....but I'm not sure...I'm sure greg doesn't know any mastodon songs....not that he needs to, but it's a different style....I love the butterslax amp...
its hard to tell how any amp sounds with the solos being too fast, throw in some chords please...great demo of the amps nonetheless!
I would love to hear Greg play a Reverend Descent through a BE-100.
I love how all these amp makers get the best players to demo their products.. To me, the amps still sound all the same... ITS MOST ALWAYS IN THE HANDS.. Just shove some effects thru a am radio and wammo
Koch is a very good guitarist.
Greg Koch is a freakin wizard.
I don't like tube amps but..... My god these sound unbelievable!!!!!!!!!
+Erik Ceman mrw I read "I don't like tube amps" : www.reactiongifs.com/r/spchlss.gif
Flornmonk Haha
does dave friedman play guitar?
Bernhard Baars yes
Heaviest amps of all time
If you want one of his amps hurry up before he drops dead from a heart attack.
Peter Gagnon ya you are right. He really needs to do something about that. His weight is crazy bad. Most videos he's breathing heavy just standing there. I'm not being an ass. Just calling a spade a spade. At his level gastric bypass isn't off the table
I must have at LEAST one of those beasts...
They all sound great but I’d rather hear them without effects so we can hear exactly what the amp does. Unless, the effects came after the amp
I don't think they have any effects on ,not even reverb
I have the smalllbox limited
It needs no effects. Best amp ever. Moved my way up from the PT to the Smallbox to the Smallbox limited from wildwood guitars. But it takes any pedal you throw at it. Another great little lunchbox amp
Is the Egnater tweaker 15 head. Same thing. Put up
the gain and throw an overdrive or even a distortion pedal and it can handle it beautifully. And the Friedman is quiet. The Egnater is quiet too. Plus Friedman has great master controls.
Maybe Dave can explains to Greg how dial in his amps...the Wildwood demo‘s sound is horrible...
Yeah I love Greg but those Wildwood demo's can sound thin huh? Maybe it's thier recording setup?
Which bozos disliked this... Thank you Mr Friedman... Tone of the GODS! HOLY SHIT
are these really made in china or with china parts? legit question I'm just asking.. thanks
The Pleasant St' Mafia no they are not made in China. They are made in California. Most of them are hand-wired. They are great amps, superbly well built and are guaranteed for life.
The Pleasant St' Mafia noooo. USA made.
nooooooo reupload this in 1080!
+ShenierHandmadeTone (Since this was a fresh upload, the 1080 wasn't available yet. Check it out now! enjoy.)
Wildwood Guitars gteat shure i will do! Greg is such a great scubili dubilidu player
holy fuck the tones too much watts for me, they would sell much more with a power switcher
Most of them have master volumes and still cook at bedroom levels
Mark V 10 watts mode more than a 1/16 of the total volume and my room seems to explode in the first setting, i only can crank like 6/16 gigging
+AmzeehFTW Friedman master volume is pretty damn good. I wouldn't rule it out based on the wattage.
+AmzeehFTW The Friedman master volume circuit works so well you can talk over these amps and still get all that glorious tone. I know- I own some- from kids sleeping in the room above me to full tilt gig volume- same amp- same tone. It's the only amp I own that I can say that about. All the others (except the wonderful BluGuitar Amp1) are much too loud to gig with- and don't sound good at all at bedroom volume. Even my Marshall YJM with the powersoak doesn't sound nearly as good without being fully cranked. The Friedman amps- all sound amazing at ANY volume and don't lose the character or "feel" when they're turned down. Honestly the only amp I play through any more and I own a LOT of good vintage and modern amps. Friedman beats them all. Mesa Lonestar- Fender '66 Super Reverb- '59 Bassman- Marshall YJM and '76 JMP- Hatcher Super 50- and many more. My Friedmans' beat them all, and the beautiful thing about them is with all that available gain- every one of them cleans up beautifully with just a roll of the volume knob on my guitar. No switching required!
+yjmsrv well wat amp would you buy from friedman if you would play at low volumen also ty for answer , i was looking to the victory v 22 also wat cab would you use for that friendman i have bulldogs and v30s also creambacks
16:15
I started to think maybe I'm gonna name my kid "James Hammett"
I played the BE100 and loved it, but I don't need another $4k amp. And the creepy, pervy names struck me a bit funny, not a good funny either. Like it was named by one of those guys on a list somewhere.
+Fred Garvin I don't see how the names are creepy so much as just humorous, after all, with pedals like the ''Big muff'', and things of that nature, guitar gear seems to have a rep for having ridiculous names.
Yeah, strange notation. (reveals something about the personality?) The amps are good though. Albeit high priced.
Fred Garvin buy used. What’s wrong with the smallbox name? Try it you’ll get over the games. Btw. Pink taco 🌮 is a restaurant in L.A. dirty mind? Uptight a bit?
the guitar is a sexy instrument..."pervy" names sound quirky and awesome to cool people who are living the rock lifestyle. Not sure why you feel the need to spread negativity on Dave's amp videos. Lighten up man, life's not that bad you know...
I can't play my "worship" music with names like these :(
