The Friedman Runt-20 1x12" 20-watt combo delivers Friedman's legendary tone and versatility in a compact 2-channel amp. The Runts power section is driven by two EL-84s, with three 12AX7s in the preamp. The simple clean channel features a volume knob and 3-position bright switch that delivers anything from pristine cleans to a slightly broken-up blues/country tone.
The heart and soul of the Runt is the overdrive channel, which gives that legendary Friedman overdrive that ranges from vintage rock crunch to modern high gain tones.. Use the Boost switch and Gain knob to dial in the perfect amount of overdrive. A global presence control shapes the high-frequency response of the Runts power section.
The Runt delivers the tight bottom end and midrange that is typically only found in much higher-wattage amps by utilizing custom transformers and the cleanest signal path possible. The Runt-20 is ideal for many styles of music from blues to classic rock and heavy metal by merely adjusting the gain and master controls.
When plugging into the Runt, you will instantly notice the harmonically rich detailed chords and resonating single note lines. This amp cleans up exceptionally well with the guitar’s volume knob, even with the amp on higher gain settings.
Speaker Emulated Direct Interface:
This is the first amp Dave Friedman has ever made with an internal load and cab-simulated XLR output. Comparing this analog circuit to some of the most intricate computer-based IRs, Dave achieved a direct output you can proudly send to front of house or use in the studio. The Runt also allows you to play "silently," meaning you can safely play the amp WITHOUT having a speaker cabinet connected. The XLR output includes a ground-lift, level, and center/edge of speaker cone simulation switches.
At the heart of the Runt combo is a 16-ohm, 12” Celestion G12M 65 Creamback speaker that delivers the bass, mid response, and signature sound you would expect from a Friedman amp.
The Runt was also specifically designed to take pedals well, and it loves boosts, ODs, phasers, flangers, tremolos, and wahs. The ultra-transparent no tone loss buffered, series effects loop takes time-based effects pedals and rack units equally well. This is the exact same FX loop Friedman uses on all its amplifiers including the legendary BE-100. The head cabinet features beautiful black Tolex, with Baltic Birch construction, and is built to withstand the rigors of the road.
If you need a grab and go amp for small gigs this amp is very good. It's loud, light and has great tone. I finally ditched my Fender HRD after 25 years . This thing kills it. Spend the extra cash and get it. I have the combo.
Best run through of this amp I’ve come across. Excellent playing too 🎸
Damn that guitar is sweet.
N Stuff has killer players for these demos! thank you
Nice amp. I'd like to have heard how dirty the clean channel gets when cranked, and how clean the dirty channel gets with the gain down.
Oh man it sounds great, AND it goes to 11!
It seems like a drag getting to that bottom panel. You sort of have to flip the amp onto it's face to get a look at anything, unless you memorize where everything is by feel.
The eq section only affects the gain channel. The only way to alter the tone of the clean channel is the bright switch, and of course the presence control.
Thanks for the demonstration. Looking forward to mine arriving soon, along with a 2019 Gibson Les Paul Classic in Honeyburst.
@GL D Received and enjoying them both. Still learning the amp and trying to get it dialed into my tastes. Thanks.
@@Po1itica11yNcorrect How do you like the amp now that you've had it for awhile?
@@frankswildyear I love it. The only gripe I have is the placement of the knobs. For the life of me I can't understand why they're set up so you have to either stand behind the amp to read the knobs or stand in front of the amp (like most people do) and read the knobs upside down.
@@Po1itica11yNcorrect its because most builders use the same pre-printed chassis for both the head and the combos to cut down on production costs. its actually SUPER common across many brands.
Beautiful guitar!
Beautiful guitar
Very good video. It's nice to hear the comparison between the mic and the D.I. with the clean tone but its probably more critical to hear the two compared with a dirty tone. This is usually what separates the good D.I. from the bad as this is usually more revealing with regard to 'fizz, tinniness, etc.' I just bought this amp as a head unit and I will say that it is a keeper. I have owned them all and it took me 40 years to get here. This is a wonderful amp in every way and it is actually much loader than you would think. I have to use an attenuation for home studio when using speaker(s) but with the D.I. through my DAW and sound system this is of course no longer an issue, and it still sound great! That said, we all want to use a speaker cab too so be aware that this little runt is still a beast and it is hard to get the Master volume up enough to get this amp cooking and not be too loud for others. Yet, some people have real problems so is no biggie.
Fantastic and best demo.
Why does every review of this amp have the master at 2? Everyone knows how the preamp sounds, lets hear those power tubes dammit.
Exactly! It seems so few people understand that it's the power tubes that give a tube amp its desirable sound. A distorting preamp sounds like a distortion pedal. A distorting power amp tube sounds smooth and slightly compressed. This is a great candidate for a manageable volume on stage with the master wide open.
THANK YOU. How the fuck do people STILL not understand that the farther away your gain is from your master, the cheaper your amp is going to sound.
Probably because not everyone can crank it up
Why the EBMM Valentine?? Les Paul, Strat, Tele, give us reference tones from instruments that help us understand the amp better.
Doze it have a stand by to cool the amp down before u turn off
Great sounding guitar amplifier!
Sounds good but seems to be lacking in bottom end.
Amazing review! Thanks!
What’s with that noise when you switch the bright switch on?
It looks great, but why does it have to be 41.5lb? Damn heavy for such a little box, no?
That is actually pretty light for an amp like this, a Deluxe Reverb is about 42 lbs.
A good set of transformers are heavy, as is a good quality cabinet and speaker. It all adds up.
@Fretboard Burner you wait till u get to 50!
@Fretboard Burner 1 minute you were 15 and now you're 51. I guess you're a world record holder in bad bullshitters too.
Actionable
Why do the knobs face the rear? Who stands behind an amp to dial in the knobs? You should be able read the knobs from the front of the amp without reading upside down. I like the sounds I get from this amp but I hate the placement of the knobs. My VOX has knobs in the same place as the Friedman but at least they're meant to be read while standing in front of the amp and not behind it.
Turn your monitor on and you'll be fine
The Classic Vox AC 30s knobs face the same way, do you have a problem amps of this configuration?
Could you post a pic o f "Your Vox"?
Cause I'd love to see the knobs facing so that one could read them whilst i n front of the amp and not upside down or backwards...
May be you smoked too big a fatty on that day bro!☺
@@j.f.6465 Yes. My issue is my music room isn't big. Just a standard 12'x10' bedroom converted to a music studio. So I have no floor space and my AC15C1 sits against the wall. Same with my Friedman Runt-20 Combo. Standing in front of the amps and adjusting the knobs require reading them upside down.
On the other hand, I have an old kid's armour that has a place for a television. I put my Deluxe Reverb Tonemaster in there and the knobs are right there on the front and easily readable and adjustable. Same with my Mesa Boogie Cali Tweed, which sits on top of the armour above the DR. Knobs in front, easily readable and adjustable. If someone is standing and playing in front of an amp (which is where most people play), they should be able to read the knobs from that position. Not have to walk behind the amp to read them.
@@j.f.6465 I can't post a picture here on RUclips. Look it up online to see what I'm referring to.
EDIT: Disregard. You're right. My issue with the Vox was the knobs being in the top back. I couldn't read them by putting it in the armour. Friedman, the words face backwards.
does it have an effects loop?
its a friedman lol of course it does
guess this can't go rly high gain :(
Get a pedal
That’s the Maroon 5 guitarist signature gee tar. Nice choice
$3000 I think mesa boogie would he better for the buck. Or use a $500 valve amp with the friedman pedal. There pedal sounds better than there amp
..handmade...but not handwired...so this one or Pink Taco/dirty shirley combo?
If you like single channel amps without a big a mount of headroom go for the Pink Taco or the Shirley. You choice will be affected by the type of Gain you want to achieve and will also depend on whether you need cleans (PT can't do cleans). If you want an amp that can do it all but with a bit less character go with the Runt. It has a great gain channel and the cleans are great.
Yeap, even Mesa Boogies are all PCB's.
I used to be a handwired guy. I don't care anymore what comes out of the speaker is what is important.
For most of my life I was trying to get cheap shit to sound like quality shit. Doesn't work. Plus I'm very cheap. This runt thing seems like a pretty good deal at a pretty good price. I could go out and buy a Chinese marshall but I'm tired of doing that. I end up spending the same anyway.
joesl8 you get what you pay for with amps in my experience. You can play a cheap (or expensive) guitar through a cheap amp and it will sound cheap but a cheap (or expensive) guitar through an expensive amp will, in most cases depending on your taste, sound great. That’s my personal thought at least.
Are the channels footswitchable?
Yes
Made in USA ?
Fizzy enough?
And it goes to 11
It’s not handmade. Hand assembled with Chinese caps, resistors and switches. It’s a profit designed amp for Mr. Friedman. Compare it to an amp half the cost and listen.
Compare it to which amps?
Probably to loud for a bedroom in a family home huh?
Like the clean but not really the overdrive channel
Agree..sounds shrill to me.
Rattle the walls or hit it with a germanium boost or fuzzface and it's a beautiful amp. This amp has to be pushed like an old Marshall but if you're expecting the sounds of the BE from this amp it's not going to happen
Great player, nice review tks. That guitar is awful looking though.
play some fcking power chords through this.. how hard would that be? waste of my time.
known for crunch but that clean is sad. Dull and no sparkle at all.
You've played the amp?
Not every one wants bs glassy strat cleans....
Probably that guitar.
Scott, you literally comment negatively on every amp demo. No idea what you think sounds good bro.
CLEAN IS AWESOME ON THIS AMP.
Sorry, Guys... I'll keep my Marshall Origin 20c. No contest.
Really?
Lmao
found the marshall rep
