This is just so good! I love Friedman amps, and I have a JJ Jr. but this just has to be the best one (to my eye's at least). Your playing and recording is on point as usual, you alway make they best gear sound even better... All these amp and guitar builders need to give you a fat check for making their creations sound the best they can.

I've watched this video a ton of times. Great tone and great playing. I've got one on order...should be here in a few weeks. I cannot wait. I was split between a BE-50, BE-100 Deluxe, and this amp. This video pushed me towards the SS-100 v2. It sounds edgier than either....I've read the same too. We shall see how it sounds in real life.

@sjones3891 Жыл бұрын

You have such tight and articulate playing and great tone. I also think you and I are probably close to the same age considering the 90’s bands you will play like Hum and Failure and Smashing Pumpkins but then also for later bands like Opeth. Anyway, keep up the great work!
