$2800 preorder up on SW. No effects loop? I know he is probably trying to stay true to the OG but he added various mods so why not a loop lol

Idk, I knew what the price would be (albeit I thought it would be $3000+) but that is just a lot of $$$$ for what it is imo.

But it does sound great!

Cool. Another Plexi. Sounds like a Plexi.

This amp its not aimed for those that want en FX Loop, he has plenty of other amps to fulfill that. This amp is pure Plexi tones and EVH tones. Eddie didn't need an FX Loop to conquer the world!

Why wouldn't I just get a Plexi then

Not trying to be a wet blanket I think @la szum is running off on me in terms of Friedman

I like the sound of this one. It isn't overly bass heavy and smooth like many Friedman amps. I think I'd rather have the Suhr SL67 if I were in the market for this type of amp.

It's ugly.

Seems to have more gain here than that other video, so it's fine to use as a MV amp too.

kind of ceriatone kit-build vibes. I really like the offset look, I think its a nice nod to that era of 60's Marshalls (and Park's).

FX loops sound like absolute ass on amps with a PPIMV. Its going to mush up anyway, so either shove it before the input and find a way to make it work, or tap a line level by using a cab or load and run the FX there. OR just go for a BE/Smallbox/DS/Runt etc that are more suitable for that and already purposefully designed to have those conveniences.

Totally agree. I do wish Friedman had chosen some other color tolex, just to kind of highlight this is not your grandma's Plexi.

IMO this style of amp looks fantastic with a dark green tolex and I'm amazed that color scheme is on almost no production amp out there.

Some of those Marshall's in British racing green look great. I think Marshall's design store still offer it

agree. It reminds me of the Plexi channel on my Ceriatone King Kong 50. The low input is a nice addition.

Yeah I think I used the same stuff when I made my Bogner headshell. It can look quite different depending on the lighting.
