This is like my lottery dream amp, the one I'll never afford but if I could have it I'd take it in a heartbeat, still love the interview with Bill when he was talking about collaborating with friedman about the clean channel and friedman being like "but that's not what a clean channel is... "
The song sounded amazing! Fantastic work Fluff! I like this a lot more than Brent's amp. So crushing and modern while still having the sludge that Mastodon needs. Controlled sludge.
Been a fan of you and your channel for a long time, and for the first time i needed to comment! man!, from the first notes played, this is bar none the best tone you've achieved! what an amp!
It sounds almost Canadian when you say it as Riffs, Beards, and Gear...vs...Riffs, Beards, & Gear. Jokes aside; your public speaking skills are on point and I love your channel! You have been wonderful...I have been entertained...thank you very much...and I'll watch your channel all the time!
In my opinion would have really loved to see this thing cranked in drop A to really display some of the massively heavy metal tones this behemoth can put out, mabey in another video?
I had both the Butterslax and BE100 heads. Not much difference in the gain channels between the two. I kept the BE and sold the Butterslax on reverb. I would recommend getting the BE100 or BE50 from Friedman save money. With the Bill Kellihler model you’re only playing more for the name.
Hey Fluff, what's your honest opinion on Laboga amps? I saw that you had two demos of their products, but none of their flagship metal amp (and something that I feel rivals a Dual Rec by providing a similar sound but with a tighter gain structure): the Mr. Hector.
Friedman should do a smaller version, like they did with just about every amp they do. Not gonna have the same chunk with lower watts, but In Friedman We Trust. It's gonna be killer anyway.
I like very much the tones from the playthrough, but not as much the ones from the edited song. That "raw beast" kind of feeling got lost i.m.o. That said, beast of an amp. Maybe some less expensive or preamp pedal version would be best from most of us, but I get it. Nice job!
When an amp costs more than 2k, you're just spending money to spend money. There's no reason a modern amp should be higher than 1,500 dollars nowadays.
My guitarist has a 5150III and it kicks wholesale ass. It sounds so, so good. He financed it through Zzounds so he wouldn't have to pay for it all at once.
You guys miss the point. It's not about the hardware, it's about who build them.Freidman has to pay human to build them. A house is only wood and bricks, why so expansive? ...because humans design / build them.
No denying the Friedman are great sounding amps but what most miss is the cost of production. Production is ridiculously expensive on the west coast. Average home is over 1 million. Mr. Friedman prices his stuff accordingly.
yeah... not worth 4k for me, there's a lot of killer amps that can do the mastodon tone for under 1.5k like the splawn hot rod/mesa mk3 or 4 /marshall jcm800/jvm210/5153.
If this amp was food it would be a 3 course meal of fried everything
fried . . . man
@@venemataylor zactly
it's called Tempura in japan
also: vinegary hot sauce. i have no idea why the high mids sound so vinegary/peppery to me, but it's true

Ceriatone Leviathon 😉 do yourself a favour.
The combo of the Fishmans and the Friedman makes for so much clarity I honestly don’t think I’ve ever heard anything like it. Great demo.
Finally heard one in person today. these videos barely do it justice! phenomenal amp!
Would like to hear about how yours has been modded and how it sounds from stock.
Demo a JJ 100 plz!
Holy mother of tone. Fluff you're killing it lately with these demos (reference to the mix, the standalone with noon eq left a bit to be desired)
Thank you for the longer video, I love that Friedman tone!
there are two amps on the top of my list should funds reasonably permit:
This, and an original Sunn model T
For me its this amp, Diezel VH4 and a Fortin Natas. I will never come class to having the money to spend on these amps hahahaha!
You can tell from the look on your face while playing that this amp is a blast to play through. Good jorb
I had to go get some napkins because i just drooled all over the damn place
The song sounded amazing! Fantastic work Fluff! I like this a lot more than Brent's amp. So crushing and modern while still having the sludge that Mastodon needs. Controlled sludge.
You're a lucky man Fluff. I'd love to get my hands on a beast like that. Happy riffing!!!!
5:32 I WAS REALLY WAITING FOR THAT AND IT SOUNDS GLORIOUS
Been a fan of you and your channel for a long time, and for the first time i needed to comment! man!, from the first notes played, this is bar none the best tone you've achieved! what an amp!
Everyone needs a little butter in their slax

And here i am once again watching demos of things i will never have
The string slipped off the saddle :c
I'm a complete gear JUNKIE. This amp is very good. Wow. Probably in my top 5 and sitting around #1. Amazing.
Friedmans are the best, I love both of mine! SmallBox and Dirty Shirley. Why do you have 2 of the same amp?
Man Beards riffs keep getting better.
did you ever do a video about your modded Butterslax? I am almost more interested in that.
Butterslax? I ran that on an old ThinkPad years ago. Ran so smooth and creamy.
Can the butterslax do the gnr/Slash thing?
So any video on what mods your slax has?
Hey Fluff great vid! You still using jp-2c as main rig or this? Thanks
It sounds incredible! I was just talking to a friend about how great Friedmans were. Awesome video
But whats the difference between stock and your own amp? I think its not boosted becouse its allready has so much gain :)
How noisy are these things raw? It's hard to get a sense of overhead, presence and noise via a RUclips video. Thanks for posting!
That is a very bass player friendly sound. I like it.
Why is your low “E” string in a different position in your bridge? It looks broke!!
Please do more in this amp!
Beautiful. Fluff, nothing short of beautiful.
Were the hell is the modded slax!
Has Bill used this in the studio?
Wouldn't the amp obviously be butter if it was food?
That RD is so beautiful, my dream guitar!
Modern AlNiCo or Ceramics in that Hyperion?
So, Wen Butterslax Mod vid❓
We going to see a Butterslax, Rockerverb stereo rig?
This sounds soo good, makes me wish I would have got it instead of my be50 deluxe lol. ANY Friedman is godly.
That riff for the tune was evil. Love it!
Fluuuuff? Before you started playing, Were your guitar strings put on correctly ? The two lowest ones looked kinda close together.
In my opinion would have really loved to see this thing cranked in drop A to really display some of the massively heavy metal tones this behemoth can put out, mabey in another video?
I had both the Butterslax and BE100 heads. Not much difference in the gain channels between the two. I kept the BE and sold the Butterslax on reverb. I would recommend getting the BE100 or BE50 from Friedman save money. With the Bill Kellihler model you’re only playing more for the name.
Do you think you can do a splawn nitro review the one with the kt88s
how is the v30 and green back combination?
Wait you have 2 of them?
Great man! Although I own that amp - this is what I was waiting for ‚years‘.
Hey Fluff, what's your honest opinion on Laboga amps? I saw that you had two demos of their products, but none of their flagship metal amp (and something that I feel rivals a Dual Rec by providing a similar sound but with a tighter gain structure): the Mr. Hector.
Riviera KR7?
How does yours differ from the stock model?
Fluff you are the man. Love hearing your reviews and I really consider what you say when I consider a purchase. Big ups bro! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍
any chance for a bias amp2 amp match of the butterslax?
What's that over the strings above the nut?
Phil M jimmy clip similar to a wrap
Hi Ryan, so you have to give the amp head on the top back or you get to keep that one too?
Separate video for your modded butterslax?
That Burny sounded way better than that RD and PRS !! Nice!! \m/
Fluff, why must you tease us with a modded Butterslax amp
That Les Paul sounds awesome!
Anyone noticed the low E not being on the bridge saddle
Loving the rock n roll slippers!
Friedman should do a smaller version, like they did with just about every amp they do. Not gonna have the same chunk with lower watts, but In Friedman We Trust. It's gonna be killer anyway.
Can you please do a tutorial on you price in Jared Dines’ Biggest Shred Collab
Fluff... I'd too see you get your hands on a Splawn and do something with that
I have a Quick Rod and a Nitro. They are excellent amps. I just had my Quick Rod modded by Jens Kruse and I have no desire for a Butterslax now.
that fact this doesnt have clean channel kills it for me
Looks like bridge pickup in the Burny was replaced
Jesus wept this is glorious!! Tone for days, weeks, months and years! Total Mastodon in a box.
why are these so expensive?
I like very much the tones from the playthrough, but not as much the ones from the edited song. That "raw beast" kind of feeling got lost i.m.o. That said, beast of an amp. Maybe some less expensive or preamp pedal version would be best from most of us, but I get it.
Nice job!
Mother of God, the Tone.
The more I see reviews of this amp the more I want one. Even if just to make my neighbours shit their pants.
What the heck is going on with your low E (ou B ?) string Fluff ? :)
why are there two of em?
I never knew what he said at the beginning of the video until i put subtitles on.
Damn, I like that prs a lot.
Absolute dream amps!
The Burny Les Paul on channel 2 sounds freakin' AWESOME!
Please do a review of a BE-100 :o
no matter how good it sounds it wont justify spending almost 4k USD on it lol
When an amp costs more than 2k, you're just spending money to spend money. There's no reason a modern amp should be higher than 1,500 dollars nowadays.
Just get an EVH. Shit is way cheaper and sounds just as good. Best amp I've ever bought.
My guitarist has a 5150III and it kicks wholesale ass. It sounds so, so good. He financed it through Zzounds so he wouldn't have to pay for it all at once.
You guys miss the point. It's not about the hardware, it's about who build them.Freidman has to pay human to build them. A house is only wood and bricks, why so expansive? ...because humans design / build them.

Wow nice riffin man!
That low E string. #StillALegend
Brutal demo!!!
Dave Friedman is the King. Period.
Why is your low e so close to your a string?
Oh yeah 😂😂
Damn this amp sounds amazing. I want one.
The rig of doom!!!
I’d describe it as a T-bone steak but a protein shake works too
I don’t like Mastadon but this amp sound great ...very great indeed👍
sick amp dude!
sick riffing dude
That riff sounded much better in the Divinator review.
U should demo the JJ Jerry Cantrell 😈
For the 1% of metalheads haha
The first tone he got out of it during the demo had a classic rock vibe to it. For some reason Kiss comes to mind
He could pull off AC/DC with it
Wow. That's really good
Butterslax...what a name
Beautiful looking amp, sounds good too but the price is just ridiculous in my opinion
yeah... not worth 4k for me, there's a lot of killer amps that can do the mastodon tone for under 1.5k like the splawn hot rod/mesa mk3 or 4 /marshall jcm800/jvm210/5153.
