New Friedman head? Friedman Vintage

[2dor]

Just saw this on their Facebook. Think this is based on Dave's own personal favorite Marshall head (IIRC, he mentioned it in a couple of livestreams last year)

Wow! Hopefully if it will actually resemble a Marshall tone/feel-wise.

I hear ya. Looks like it's got Bright switches for both Gain I and II.
Not sure if the far-left dial is a NFB or a Master control. NFB would be cool to have but a non-MV amp nowadays is bananas lol (maybe it has some more stuff around the back).
Can't wait to see some vids on it.

EDIT: Yeah, seems to say MVC - definitely Master volume; wonder if it's Push/Pull Jose-style

Cool to see it out in the wild, he’s been talking about that for a while. I’m curious about the AC30 he has in works too.

I was going to tag you but you didn't disappoint

Yes, also part of the new Vintage division of Friedman amps....how many more would there be...that is the question.

Taiwanese transformers for authentic Marshall tone

He made no bones about this being the exact circuit as his Plexi on a recent ToneTalk, just a couple tweaks like the switches and effects loop.

YJM said, Ohh this is like a Marshall or this sounds exactly like a Marshall
His answer yeah ok so .. I already have a Marshall

 

[CarlF]

It won’t have an effects loop. Remember, real plexi circuits don’t have loops! (Don’t tell George Metropolos).

That’s because it’s not a real Plexi circuit

Here- 21:14 and 29:00

Be glad it isn’t because that circuit has no pre-amp gain

Jeez, enough with the pushing Sweetwater junk.

I think that’s how sponsorships work?

I just heard some clips of it on FB, sounds pretty fucking great to me, but to be fair, Doug Rappaport was playing through it.

Sounds proper raw in the Doug video. Nothing smooth.
Also Anderton tried it, he's not a hi-gain player, but you can hear it sounds very promising:

Yeah.... That sounded really nice. G.A.S. gears start turning....

50 watt plexi with a built in variac, good MV, and switchable bright caps on both channels…
