I have heard this amp sound stellar and not so great. really depends on who is playing it.

do you think this amp could get a fairly decent modern metal tone at relatively low volumes?
@eschatologistmusic7 жыл бұрын
It would be wasted tbh - it gets very saturated when it's dimed but the tightness drops and it's quite hairy. It sounds GREAT at low volumes but you'd probably want something like an MXR 5150 or Diezel VH4 pedal to give you the sound, at which point spending money on a Friedman is a bit of waste when some other solid state amp would perform the same function.

AE85 yea, I think I'm gonna just gonna try for the EVH 5150 lll 50w or a PRS Archon

I would honestly check out the MXR 5150 pedal or the JHS AT over getting an EVH amp - the pedal really really does get you that sound, and you don't have to dump loads of cash into a one-trick-pony amp. I've never played the Archon, tho. Have you considered a Victory Kraken?

AE85 yes, I've heard good things about the Kracken but I played on the EVH 5150 lll 100w and honestly, I was satisfied with the tones I was getting at volumes I could easily. so I'm sure the 50w will be ok. I've never played the Archon but I was told it can achieve great tones at any volume, they say it sounds similar to what you would get if blend the original 5150, mesa dual rectifier and a bogner uberschall.

Will this amp do 80's hair metal? Or would I need a Tube Screamer to take it there., thanks
@eschatologistmusic7 жыл бұрын
Definitely, it's super strong in that field. Is there something in particular you'd like to hear? I can try to whip up a quick demo for you. I have an MXR MicroAmp+ in the front if I really need to gun it, but that's very rare as I think generally we as guitarists overdo gain a fair bit.

Cool, yea! In the steel of the night by WhiteSnake Rhythm and the Lead. This is the styles that I play. Just wondering if this amp has the tone and gain to do so before I was to order it, and thanks for the fast reply

Can it do classic rock?
@eschatologistmusic7 жыл бұрын
It's made for Classic Rock dude, if any band used a Marshall Plexi or a JCM-800 then this thing nails it.
