2:39 Turning Some Knobs (Bogner 4x12 v30)
4:43 Chunk it Metallica Style (Mesa Recto 4x12 v30)
5:58 Clean / Not-So-Dirty Shirley (Friedman 1x12)
8:21 Gretsching on some Billy Squire (Friedman 1x12)
I just bought this one and as good as the overdrive tones are what really surprised me is the clean on the edge of break up tones when using a guitar with single coils, it nails the tone of Hendrix or Stevie Ray.
EXACTLY what I love about my BE pedal!
I literally bought this amp because of this video (there wasn't one I could check out anywhere near my home) and I was NOT disappointed! It sounds awesome. It is so much fun to play!
Awesome! Glad you like it Dan!
What speaker/cab have you plugged into with this amp?
@@ratedrsuperstarthega please tell
Me too. This and Doug Rappoport’s vid. I own 3 Friedman’s now but they’ll bury me with my DSM.
I really enjoy your reviews Mike. My DS mini arrived yesterday. I was blown away the moment I plugged a Les Paul into it....after plugging in a strat I was blown away so hard, I thought I'd starve on my way to Mars. Amazing amp!
Wow it's like having ACDC over to jam in your bedroom.
OK! When you broke out SRV....that did it. Nice job and sounds super sweet.Thanks...
Right ??!! Plus a little rarely played Billy Squire at the end !!
Hey Michael. Man, thank you for responding to my question! First of all let me just compliment your demo, you're just killing it showing off the DSM. I have the 1X12 DSM closed back cab ( the cab which matches the head) it is ported to the front on either side of the speaker (hidden by the grill cloth). I have visited Dave's shop at his invitation so he could personally check what I thought was excessive hiss. He tested it with me right there and said you will get white noise as the volume and gain are cranked. In other words all okay. Let me just admit I can't play anywhere near to your level, but I appreciate fine audio equipment and great tone. As far as the guitars in my line-up...Gibson LP Standard, Tom Anderson Cobra and a new 60s reissue Strat. I was on a Gear Page and one of the Posts had your RUclips link. I was just stunned listening to you ripping those tones out of the DSM. Now I don't know what to say knowing you're playing straight through! I'll keep experimenting with the controls on the head. Thank you again for taking the time to answer my comment I really appreciate it.
You got some nice gear there! Well, when the MDS structure switch is set in the middle, it's a pretty low gain head. For any kind of gain, I use the up position. The gain on the head is usually on 10, and I'll use that switch to change my gain structure. You'll get a little extra sauce when the volume is up at 5+, but that's way to loud for me at home. At home I use a boost to give it a little rock nudge. I like the Wampler Ecstasy, The Friedman Buxom Boost, or BEOD are GREAT with the MDS, and I'm trying out the Golden Pearl which is also phenomenal. I like that Buxom, and the BE-OD, because the tight knobs help tighten up bottom end for more aggressive riffing.
So nice when someone is actually playing some good & decent riffs when demoing an amp. Absolutely love it!
Jesus man she sounds killer - like quality vintage tones of a few different amps all in one - awesome
Sounds unreal. Some reverb and a bit of delay and that's my perfect hair tone. Steve
this video made me decide to get this over other considerations. its a bit more than i wanted to spend but DAMN! that sounds unbelievable. i have been looking for classic Marshall tones in a low watt head for awhile now. Marshall doesn't have anything near this quality of amp for $1,500 not even close. i considered building a Tubedepot JTM45+ but i MUST! have an FX loop. now i need to save up for a nicer cab. i don't think my 1x12 will quite do this amp justice im thinking an Orange 2x12 open back would be a great fit. thanks for the best demo of this amp on RUclips.
I wish they had more amps with a parallel effects loop option. That is my favorite thing about the amps I use for all my live gigs but this sounds great for studio stuff.
Just bought one off of your superb review! Basically I really really need to upgrade my practicing now! Stupidly good amp and at low volumes to!
This could be the best amp out there right now.
For its price point, it still is (in my humble opinion)
Not the clean one though
@@javiceres True the clean tones sound pretty crappy
This is the best review of this amp I've seen 👍🏻 great playing!
At 4:45 I threw my wallet at the screen!
Classy-D thank you 🙏 very much !!!
😂😂😂
Right!!!!
Love your demos. This amp is awesome. I live on the crunch mode and use guitars volume for cleaner tones. Funnily enough, it takes Friedman pedals really well for extra mustard! It’s my first Friedman amp, I’m hooked now. Best tone I’ve ever had
Sounds INCREDIBLE (especially w/ those P90s).
Too bad it's nowhere near affordable for mere mortals.. :-(
You get what you pay for.
Great song choice, load and reload are totally underrated records.
Very nice Michael. Had been thinking of getting a Pink Taco, but just saw this MDS and really like the tones. Great demo too, showing the settings, playing chords and leads. Only thing better would have been to show/talk about your guitar volume and tone settings! But really helpful and nicely done, thank you!
+Bill Rainbolt I tried and compared the mini dirty shirley and a Pink Taco, I prefer the Pink Taco, Why? Pink Taco sounded thicker.
That was a great review! Awesome sounding amp!
Thanks Hollis!
Great review / demo.
Really nailed how good this amp sounds.
Though it's a fantastic overdrive amp, the cleans are excellent too.
Coped well in gig situations too... Plenty of volume for club / pub applications.
I bought a MDS off the back of this demo.
Stoked!!!
Man, this thing sounds BROWN as the day is long. I bet it gets pretty heavy with a screamer pedal boosting it, too.
love the billy at the end
How did you manage to capture the audio so well? I have a hell of a time recording my amps like that for demos....
Mini Dirty Shirley or Pink Taco? What do you think? The Pink Taco has an effects loop. I'm searching an Amp for small gigs. For the bigger gigs I use my CAA Standard+ 100 Head.
I haven't spent really enough time with the Taco to say for sure... but IMO the Shirley is perfectly balanced. Of course, much will depend on the kind of music you do. If you're doing a more Van Halen tone inspired thing, then the Taco for sure. But for most other applications, I think the MiniDS is a big winner.
+Michael Nielsen Thanx a lot.
This is how a demo is DONE !, salutations sir
it sounds so freaking good! what is it like at bedroom levels?
Absolutely kickass. If you were still wondering. Its the best bedroom amp I've ever used.
Why can't I like this video more than once? Well done.
Now I think I hate you. LOL Oh God that sounds so good. Just bought my self a Victory, may need one of these as well. Great Video.
Hey man which Victory amp did you buy ? I was looking at the new Sheriff 44. This Freidman is insane though ..2 many choices, can't get the next amp wrong or its divorce !!!!!
@@David-lt7kl im 2 steps from buying a sheriff22.
Holy shit so rich and well balanced. Sounds cliché but I never thought P90's could sound like that... Thanks for sharing and taking time to explain yout tone !
Hi! I like your videos and would love to hear one reviewing the Friedman Pink Taco. I want to hear the difference with the mini Dirty Shirley. :). Thanks
Happens to me less often I'd like (tells you something about the quality of music being written today), but I totally experienced a feeling of Frisson when you started rocking out Bill Squire on that Gretsche and Dirty Shirley with your buddy on the bass drum. Wow what a tone!!! Killer!! Rock on man, love your channel! \m/
Def, this kicks out Marshall :)
Great demo Sir! Sounded epic. Tone was tasty...left me wanting more.
Doesn't hurt to have a quality guitar like the P90 Freidman. Wasn't expecting a Billy Squier song but sounded awesome none the less. In my headphones even with the gain on 10 it was still pretty clear. I like that there aren't drastic tone changes at a half turn. That's an amp (not mini) I could buy and have forever.
Killer tone!!!
Killer tone. Also big plus for "Ain't my bitch" 😏
Someone buy that dude the rest of the drum set..... ;)
hahahahaha
Hell yah ,I think I'm going to have to go with the twin sister over the synergy head.
Thanks for the review! You did a great demonstration.
I don't know Michael, you make everything sound good! Thank you so much for the setting run throughs, really helps in hearing the range of the amp. Great amp sound at a great price. Would use it with my Marshall cab with vintage 30s.
WOW!!!! That amp sounds AMAZING!!!!!! Damn it!
I ordered this amp last week based on this video, freak man this amps sings! - We'll see once I get it! Thanks for sharing MN!
Killer review! I love this amp. One of my favorites in my collection!
Michael! Great review! This video helped me decide on picking up the DSM Combo. I'm sooo stoked. It sounds sooo creamy, full, and warm but oooohhhh SOOOO dirty! PHAT!
Wow it sounds so good! Considering buying one with a Victory copper preamp pedal for clean tones
Great great review! There are no other reviews of the mini yet and frankly no need for them with this one.
Best video so far on this amp....and sweet guitar btw! This amp and it's big brother are KILLER!
Love this amp! cant wait to hear it with greenbacks!
Billy Squier!
Lonely is the night!
that ending though!!
I had watched this video several times, but never all the way to the end, for the Gretsch part. For the love of all that is Holy. That Gretsch sounds marvelous, especially through the regular, larger Dirty Shirley open-backed cabinet.
Can you tell me which model Gretsch it is?
This will teach me to watch videos in their entirety...
:) That's the stock Brian Setzer model.
That amp sounds huge. Great job!
Great song choice!!!! Sounds killer!!!
I need this. Chewy, porky, juicy and hairy? Epic.
I just bought one... partly because of this video! Great job and yes it's a beast
Absolute Great Review, i´ve tsted the Bigger 40W Shirley Amp and i was Completeley Blowin Away , Now That 20 Watt Model is Great too ,and Would Fit PERFECTLY to my Bogner Atma ..
OMG I Want this Little Friedman Amp NOW !!!!
I need that mini beast!!!
Wow, awesome tones!
Love it
the best 20w vintage sound amp
Sounds great...A little on the pricey side but the tone is absolutely killer.
Excellent video Michael!! I bought this amp because of this video and some of the others on YT. I'm running it through a Mesa 2x12 vertical cab and the tones are beautiful. The effects loop is very quiet and uncolored. I'm still debating on whether to sell this beauty and get the Friedman SB50 (which is what I intended to buy originally).
Love your videos man. Have you been able to compare the mini dirty shirley to the PT20?
holy fucking shit this sounds insane!
I must have one.
Metallica Load tone TOTALLY SPOT ON!!! Holy smokes dude!!!
Dave ALWAYS delivers man. I fucking LOVE my BE pedal. Great demo. That mini RIPS!
Really captured that LOAD/ReLOAD sound on Ain't my bitch, there! Sounds amazing Michael!
Shirley is sweet !!!
Thanks I'm sold
nice, just ordered one thanks!
I always thought that Squier riff was killer but his tone was awful and his "feel" was off. You made that song yours! Great job.
ok the metallic was def spot on then some lol
Check out Rappoport's demo of this little beast. It really shows how good this amp is when properly EQ'd.
That amp smokes bro !! Thanks for sharing !!
Michael, I can say your videos are such a great! Great sound (I mean really great sound) , funny, nice graphics and informative. I did all of them this evening. So, thanks for this and keep going!
Looking for your KHDK vids (I'm part of team, so I know about it) :)
Cheers
Great demo. That thing sounds nasty! I need one!
Chewy reference = me lmfao. Good vid
Damn that was a 3fer, great amp great tele great demo
Can't tell how much i loooooved the Metallica chug section.... wait... I just did.
Sounds great except for the heavier stuff. A bit too flubby, but nothing a good OD in front can't fix.
Hey Michael, I love your channel and have been a subscriber for a few years. I've been researching the Pink Taco and was disappointed that, to me, there are not any great videos on it. I was surprised you haven't done one since you are close to Dave and it seems to be geared for 80s metal. I'm curious, which is your favorite Friedman 20 watt amp? I'm assuming you have tried them all. Thanks!
Hey man... I whatch your videos and can't decide... LOL
The Runt20 got more features but it's 200 dollars cheaper than Mini DS, that is a single channel with not many features. Do you know why is that difference?
I may get one of these, but trying to figure out which one. For a classic and hard rock, the DS must win, right?
Did you have a reverb in the loop when you were playing the Gretsch. If so what was it? It really worked well with the Dirty Shirley.
Just bought this directly because of you!!! YES!!!
Bubbafret thanks man! I hope you live it. I still love it 100% every time I plug in
I meant “love it”
Ok I went a little nuts and picked up that vintage T 90s to go with it...
Bubbafret 👍👍👍
Fantastic demo. I love your videos. Ain't My Bitch to Billy Squier. So well done.
Is that a black falcon ? what gain switch did you have it on for Billy Squire ? Awsome Job.
Best reviewer on RUclips...
Outstanding
Good demo bruh. You rock. I need one of these.
Ron Livingston can really sell a guitar amp.
3:57 "mids maxed out sound really good", says sounding surprised LOL...
Dude, AWESOME vids. What mics you using on the V30 loaded cab? And what I/O interface if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks!
That Metallica riff was bad ass dude!.... Awesome!...freidman are great amps... I'm saving for a jj junior
Thanks Michael for great review! Did you try DS Mini with new BE-OD pedal? It is very interesting how it sounds together.
Killer head, great tones.
Love your reviews. Just the right stuff. ❤
What mics did you record this with? Great sounds!
can you do a video pushing this amp with some overdrive pedals maybe playing some heavier hard rock/grunge/metal kinda stuff?
