Friedman VOX Proto NAMM 26

[Chocol8]

Found this..looks like he started "building rigs" around 1989-1990 and he is a couple years older than I would have guessed. (57)

Dave made a name for himself in the eighties, where innuendos and double entendres were the name of the game.

Oh good, I’ll just tell all the grownups at my gigs who are rolling their eyes at me “IT’S OK, HE’S FROM THE EIGHTIES!”

Nobody will have a clue what your gear even is unless you announce it. And most of them still won't have any idea what you're talking about.

Nobody will have a clue what your gear even is unless you announce it. And most of them still won't have any idea what you're talking about.

In the last two weeks I’ve had around 10-15 people from the orchestra, cast, and crew come take a look at my gear and ask me about it. Many of them I’ve known for a very long time and they notice when I’ve got something new and like to ask about it.

 

[Chocol8]

I ALWAYS check out what gear musicians are using, including non-guitar players.

 

[JiveTurkey]

I don't take offense to it. It's just dumb

 

[Sidler72]

Wife- You want to explain to me why you spent 3500 on a hairy brown eye?

 

[greatmutah]

You spent how much on Twin Sisters? And why?

 

[greatmutah]

It gets funnier if you add the steel panther pedal into the equation:

Why did you use a Pussy Melter on Dirty Shirley and why did it cost that much?!

"but mom, the homemade pink taco is never quite the same as Friedman's!!!"

We're not brining Mom into this

Honestly, the Dirty Shirley is arguably the worse name.

It’s definitely not a good name at all.

It’s the name of a drink. A Shirley Temple with vodka. And that was the story of how it was named over drinks one night. Arguably the least offensive of all the amp names.

Like I said I don’t find them offensive…. just dumb.
