My dad bought a Friedman 20w amp a year ago and when it arrived it had a grounding issue. We went ahead and made a video showcasing the problem and Dave himself actually replied to the email and troubleshooted for us and eventually he arranged to send a new one out for my dad. My dad now uses his amps almost exclusively now. We were really impressed that the customer service actually came from the owner himself.
Dave is a good dude.
Dweebenheim Thats great, but why not contact Friedman before going and making a video showcasing a problem. Hope you showcased his customer service.
@@douglasdog1 we had contacted them before. And he asked what the specific problem seemed to be, so we decided to make a video showcasing the problem with both a strat and les paul to show that it had a definite grounding issue
@@douglasdog1 oh. And the video we took we sent directly to Friedman Amps. It wasnt posted anywhere.
Had a similar situation a DS Mini I bought through Sweetwater was not working so I sent email to Friedman. Dave answered personally from his iPad and over the course of a few days and emails isolated the problem and had new tubes in the mail post haste. Outstanding customer service.
.it wouldn't have looked good for his amplifier companys reputation if you had got fried and died, that's why he responded by sending you a replacement fast yes cool dude
Freakin' Dave Friedman man... What an absolute legend.
Yeah! I just found out from this video that he basically designed every amp ever lol
What an Absolute Unit
Thanks so much for including me in this! Favorite interview with Dave!!!
Thank you for your fantastic playing Sammy!! All I can say is WOW.
Thanks for kicking ass! It was cool to see you on Tone-Talk.
That outro song you played stopped me dead in my tracks while the rest of the video I was playing in the background while I surfed the web. I had to watch it twice; just fantastic!
Sammy Boller What pickups do you have in your Les Paul?
@@MrGuitarpaul Thank you!!
I emailed the generic "service" link on the Friedman site about a year ago to ask a question about the channel switch on my Smallbox Combo (best Marshall school combo in the world, although depending on the day, the Dirty Shirley is just the ticket, it was a tough choice to make) because I wanted to use another brand of pedal looping/switching station with it and it was on a Sunday. Dave himself sent me a reply and I got it in the time it took to go for lunch. That really impressed me. But what really nailed it home, was about 6 months ago when I emailed the same generic address with a super detailed 1/2 page question about running a stereo pedal in the loop while running the stereo side into the front of a wet dry rig and blah blah blah, and again Dave replied (this was a real out there question) with questions of his own about certain specifics, what I was trying to do, etc. There was nothing in it for him, but he went out of the way to answer me, and do some back and forth. You could say, I had a casual consult about complicated rig system by one of the masters. He should've sent me a bill. This man is top of the heap , and his amps are worth the price. Probably a business genius as well. If Marshall were smart, they would have tried to woo him with riches to rejuvinate their amp line.
The outro was epic.. 👍🔥🔥🔥
Sammy started as a piano player. Have a look at his appearance on Tone-Talk.
TBH That is one of the most melodic riffs I hv ever heard, the shred past is at the right moment
and the bending still in my mind looping again and again......
Fucken oath it was
No doubt. Is it on spotify lol
Dave Friedman: A master of his craft who can translate sounds into words and words into sounds. Great interview. I could listen to Dave all day.
The more of these I see the more I realise that genuine, good people outweigh faceless corporations in the gear community.
same reason I'm looking at Heritage guitars instead of Gibson ;)
@@DweedleDeeDweedleDoo Even at Gibson the guitars are made by good people.
@@pCeLobster You're not wrong, but with volume comes QC issues, and Heritage pumps out MAYBE 5% of what Gibson does.
This is my clean tone...*crushing gain*
Dave is a really great guy. Generous with his time and knowledge. A treasure to the amp community.
His podcast is a must see . You're the man Dave.
The instrument/amp business seems to have alot of these really good guys that happen to be geniuses, love it!
Dave is the best. Unbelievable customer support, and his products sound unbelievable.
Love the Friedman stuff... I have a smallbox combo that is amazing and the golden pearl pedal as well. I used to work with Dave in '89 or '90 at Brauer Rentals when he was doing racks... Dave was always cool to me and was genuinely excited about his work... fun memories. Thanks Dave for makin it happen and producing great products!
Edit... Sammy's playing at the end of this vid is rippin! Daaaaaamn!
Edit2... Ya know... if one believed in reincarnation... I see a lot of Randy's personality here... just sayin.
Sammy's outro was the cherry on the cake!
Thanks Captain/ Andertons for an epic video!
Dave is a great guy and awesome at what he does, he built me a custom amp earlier in the year and we must of exchanged over 50 emails to get it right.
Thanks Dave!
That end song was absolutely amazing. What playing and tone. Just wow.
These 43 minutes go by so fast. You could do 3 hours with this legend of tone.
Check out Tone-Talk.
I had that sound. I started out on it. 1972 super bass, 8x10 cab and a Paul Rivera power soak. And my brothers 1974 Les Paul Custom, cream coloured.
Man, I miss that rig.
Love the responsiveness of Friedman amps. Killer cranked Marshall tones! Also, Sammy is a magician! Great outro tune.
His work with the artists sounds like the job of a technician getting the perfect suspension setup for a race driver.
Thank you for the video. Dave really makes some amazing products. Respect to Andersons for consistently supporting up and coming businesses. That is some next level gear. What an amazing time in the music industry!
Man, I'd love to own a Friedman one day. JJ I think I'd like. Pure ballsy tone!
Have a look at Synergy.
I want a be deluxe 100
Leave it to a guy from Detroit to out Marshall, Marshall, and out Fender, Fender.
The outro jam totally distracted me from my job haha Chills the whole time. Great interview and phenomenal playing
I own a PT-20 and a 4x12 and they are awesome. Bought a Friedman guitar without having the chance to play it and i must say, It is my favorite guitar. Build quality, The tone and just how stable and intune it is, One of the bet ever made.
Love my Friedman BE OD pedal...it was the sound that was in my head that I could no find in any O.D. pedal I tried...till I found his...thanks so much!!!
Amazing interview again Captain!The playing of the guitarist Sammy is outstanding! Thanks !
Dave seems like a great guy. Super humble for an amp genius. Awesome show.
Love this episode! I run a wet/dry rig that features two Friedman’s! I never thought I’d own 1 let alone 2! Fantastic, amazing amps!
This guy certainly knows great tones and he seems really friendly too. Great interview 👍
Great to see you two guys talk!
Excellent stuff from Friedman. This is a good guy to be in business with.
One of the best outros I've ever heard on any video. Sammy is the real deal. Excellent.
What a fantastic conversation. Good people.
And Andertons is going to hand over my Friedman Twin Sister in february !
Sweet !
Lee, you are an absolutely underrated interviewer. That was fantastic
Would love an interview with Grover Jackson too!
Check out the first episode of Tone-Talk.
Friedmans are and have always been the best sounding amps in the world to me. Every time a guitar tone on a record blows my mind, Dave's hands were on it 9/10 times. This interview could've gone on for hours. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Excellent interview (and product placement of course :O) The man's a genius and encyclopedia of amp design. Merry Christmas to all at Andertons and their extended family!
Wow! the guitar solo at the end kills! well worth the watch and listen.
This was quite possibly the best Dave Friedman interview I've ever seen! Great job Chappers. I for one would snap up a Friedman fridge in a heartbeat!
Chappers is not in this video.
@@Robstafarian ooops LOL I meant the captain
That was absolutely fascinating. He’s Premier Division expert.....These are the best videos you do Mr Anderton......Thanks for making them......
I dig hearing all the stories about the brands I didn't know much of. Fascinating stuff!
I love my Runt 20. Dave is the best!
Great amps, pedals and guitars! Awesome playing from Sammy!!! :)
I like how Dave designs his pedals using his experience with tons of amps. It seems like most pedals are designed only considering a generic amp but Dave knows that a player could be using any sort of amp, each with it's own issues, and he accounts for that as much as possible. It makes a Friedman pedal a smart buy since it is more likely to go and do what you need.
Awesome interview and outro ‘Cloak of Light’ by Sammy Boller 🎸❣️
Boy, I want a BE-100 soooo bad.
Dave’s a cool guy, and his amps are just from another world.
OMG, that guy is a great guitarist! I’m glad I watched the whole video.
The Friedman relic T shapes are beautiful!
What an amazing story!... And seems like a humble man as well, I'd love to own a BE or a butterslax one day, just can't decide if it's gonna come before or after a deizel vh4 amp!....that head and the butterslax run simultaneously ,......wow!
I really loved this episode!
Dave is an idol and I love all my gear that his name is on. I would also spend crazy money on a Friedman fridge. It would probably be modified to make the best beer in the world and just replenish when low. Lol. Your the man Dave and thanks for the love of this epic gear!!!
The ending sounds great, amazing playing and nice guitar
This is a great demo and explanation of these amazing pedals! The amps are of course wonderful and I’m loving those guitars too!
Gotta love Dave Friedman.
Dave makes amazing amps. I have the exact same amp and cab that they have showcased in the centre here and it sounds incredible.
Wow!! What a great performance at the end!! You should hire this guy!! Made me want to buy all these stuff!! 🤘
Wow. Friedman products sound so great. Great video. The tune at the end sounded killer!
Great video Captain! Merry Christmas
Bar none Freedman is my favorite amp builder, the voicing and tones are outstanding.
The amount of people (me too) hoping it was Marty should give them an idea who we want the captain to meet next.
That was great! "TURN THAT GUITAR UP!" at the end dude can play.
I own a Wildwood Edition Pink Taco and it is without a doubt the best amp I have ever heard. I cant find anything I don’t like about it even if I have to find something!!! It is THE sound in my head.
Great interview! I've followed Dave's rise to the top since the early Rig-Talk forum days and remember him unveiling the Marsha at a James Lugo ampfest. I actually had the first 3-channel Dual Rectifier that he modified. I bought it new and after a few years, wanted something a little more fluid and less fizzy and he delivered. Regretfully, I traded it away for something with a better loop and more fitted to my gigging band at the time but I wish I would've kept it. I would probably buy it back if I could find it :)
Good god that sounds amazing.
Thank you Dave for claryfing that buffer thing. I do agree, with 10 true bypass pedals, you do loose signal (specially with passive guitars).
Nice... Awesome solo at the end and the Gibson sounded great through those pedals amps...
Looks like a Custom Lite....can't see binding on the back.
Great interview. Friedman makes some great sounding stuff. Would love a Cali (LH) but can't afford right now.
Nice vid Captain!
The Captain meets Plini when? Keep up the great content!
Dave Friedman knows his stuff from learning how valve electronics works and filters and understanding trial and error. It's not rocket science but close. As an amp modder and becoming better at it meeting Dave like this at Andertons is, not like meeting a guru, but seeing this guy that has the same sort of view of guitar sounds as I have. And I can mod amps to get them!
I'm loving those tuners... More classic looking, less bulky, smaller profile and I'm betting lighter also. Can't wait to try those.
Absolute Unit
You saved the best for the last. Put that guitar player outro first! That rocked!
This Guy is living proof that field experience is so much more interesting than book theory. The road to success is not always the same road. Friedman makes awesome amps.
Dave's the Man!
Great interview!!!!
Awesome interview! I need a PT20!
Great interview
If they make fridge will they call it Fridgeman
Stumbled into the Sir Compre using it as a boost for solos. I am convinced that i found the best boost on the market by accident.
I love watching history videos with the people who make the gear we use, very entertaining for us nerds. Thanks Cap'n! I wish I had more of Dave's wares (come on Santa you cheap b*****d)... I only have one Friedman product atm, but I really do like my SIR-COMPRE, it's pretty much always on no matter what I'm playing. Thanks Dave!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
The greatest high gain amp manufacturer, dare I say, ever!
Maybe mid-high gain. I don't think you can go past Mike Fortin for high gain amp designs.
I own a lot of Friedman gear and it’s the best stuff I have ever used. Yes, I bit costly but the stuff is simply amazing IMHO.
Home Recording Made Easy they really are!!! The best marshall you can buy. Hahaha
I think these guys nailed it as far a the Marshall sound. A lot of the classics Marshall, Soldano, Boogie, etc sound thin and brittle with no body at reasonable demo in a guitar shop volume. But turn them up and oh boy! That’s where the magic happens. Just sucks cause most of us cannot play that loud regularly even in average gigs
Please make a Friedman version of a Leslie. I don't mean a pedal, I mean an actual amp. Rotating bass speaker and reversely rotating horns. You'd do an AMAZING job.
nice Strats. very nice.
Excellent outro
I've got a Dirty Shirley Mini amp head with a BE Overdrive pedal hitting the front... It's the best "two channel" amp I've ever owned!
I'm looking at all the mini heads to see which would be best suited for me. To me, the PT and Runt seem plexi/JCM based. How would you describe the base tone of the DS and what it's Marshall "equivalent" would be?
@@jackcarter5364 Yeah, the Dirty Shirley is more like the JTM 45 (Blues Breaker). The low end is a bit looser and the mids are a bit thicker. It's not as "modern" sounding as the PT but it's still got a ton of gain and can be tweaked enough to still sound pretty metal. I just like the way the Shirley mini is voiced compared to the PT. I also like running it cleaner or slightly crunchy relative to how hot it can get. When I kick on the BE-OD, it boosts the gain, scoops the mids a bit and tightens the low end, essentially turning it into a PT!
Came for the gear.
Stayed for the Outro.
Sammy for the win!
I'll never be without my be-od...one of my most treasured...I want a friedman amp someday too...
That pickguard looks damn good. I'd love one for a Fender strat.
That is typically called "vintage tortoiseshell" or "red tortoiseshell".
Awesome amps
Holy shit, the ending, mind blown
Heyheyhey!
Dear Santa, I'd love a Dirty Shirly for Christmas!
Nobody asked Dave about where his inspirations for names come from and why:) I guess captain was cautious about not harming the business dealings... I am lucky enough to own a Friedman amp, I absolutely love it.
Dave is so cool.
The new BE-OD sounds awesome but it should really come with some sort of TRS plug for remote switching between the channels. Lots of people are using switchers today and that would really make that pedal stand out.
i agree with David the Marshall era ended in the late 80s. but to me their last grate amp was the Jubilee
This is the guy who ate both Yngwie and Michael Romeo - salute to you sir, no small feat indeed
*In awe at the size of this lad. Absolute unit.*
