Whilst visiting Southern California earlier this year we stopped by the Boutique Amps factory to catch up with our good friend, Dave Friedman! After a few hours touring the facility and testing some top secret items we sat down with Dave to learn a little more about his design process, and what the future looks like for Friedman Amplification!

Yeah I've had my Little Sister six months now - love it!, such a great range of sounds and really responds to the way you dig in. I really appreciate that Dave makes amps that can still work so well for late night home playing too - thank you Dave!

A vintage sounding AC amp from Dave is highly exciting. I can’t wait to hear one.

Always a pleasure to hear Dave talk about gear. I really want to see and hear the Jake E Lee Mini, I hope is at least 2 channels. Having that plexi channel in a mini amp would be amazing.

"I don't want to pre" "Here's all the details!" Dave's the best. Can't wait to hear his spin on his classic amps. Would love if he did a vintage tweed style amp!

Please do the deluxe in Princeton package. Love my small box! Can’t wait for a 50w plexi. The plexi channel of my small box is my favorite amp at this point…can’t wit for a small box plexi with variac. Dave does answer emails. Don’t drop dead! These amps make life better/more fun! Keeping rock alive.

@doubled5383 Жыл бұрын

Small box is an excellent, excellent versatile amp that cranks Plexi all day and has great effects loop. Not to mention industry standard high gain channel.

Dave Friedman is living the dream. Sitting atop a boutique amp empire, working a dream job 9-5 only 1-2 days a week, while maintaining such a high level of QC and attention to detail thanks to a fantastic team of workers behind you. One can only wish to be so lucky in a career path.

I'm so excited for the vintage line, the thing I haven't loved about Dave's amps are how preamp distortion oriented they are and I think that has just been out of necessity from the market but the vintage line is exactly what I love

I emailed him are you asked him the questions he gave it his blessing and guess what I can play? That's 70 Marshall major my fretless or any of my gibsons. Without a threat to my health. Or the health of any other you get my sound?❤

@audiobrainiac Жыл бұрын

He’s like that in every video if you watch him closely. He may be really introverted. Or he could be just nervous in front of a camera. Ya never know about some folks. I’m just glad we get to hear him explain things.

I don’t see it at all. I mean, ultimately, Dave is an amp builder first and foremost. Not everyone wants to be a KZfaq show pony.
