    Odd looking used Friedman Phil X head

    https://www.guitarcenter.com/Open-Box/F ... ar-Head.gc Definitely not like the current production model. I’m guessing this was a an early one?

    Friedman humbuckers

    I know this has been discussed at various points in Tone-Talk videos so I apologize for any redundancy. Do we have any details (specs, pricing, availability date) yet on these. I’m in the market for a new set for my ‘78 LP Custom and had been eyeing a couple options from other companies but I’m...

    Charvel Guthrie Govan frets?

    Anyone happen to know what fret wire they’re using on the Charvel/Govan model? I played one and loved the neck and frets. Was thinking about getting a guitar refretted with the same stainless wire. The only info I’ve been able to find online simply says “super jumbo stainless” or “extra jumbo...

    Friedman Dirty Shirley DS40 1x12 combo cab dimensions

    Just wanted to verify the exact dimensions of the combo cab. Last time I trusted online specs they turned out to be inaccurate. I was hoping some generous soul would be able to give me a real world answer.

    Dave’s “mythological” Marshall 4x12.

    If you’re feeling generous I’d love to have a look at the cab you use for testing/reference. I’ve heard you mention it a few times in various interviews and Tone-Talk broadcasts. I wanna say you said it had been stripped and had early 90s reissue greenbacks? I don’t suppose you’d be up for...

    Old Marshall question for Mr. Dave Friedman

    Although this is not a Friedman’ amp specific question I thought it might be of interest to some forum members and if anyone would have an idea I’m sure it’d be the Marshall-whisperer himself Dave Friedman. My friend has a particularly spectacular sounding ‘76 master volume JMP 100w with a...

    Those who own multiple Friedman amps: Which ones and why?

    And if you were to buy another Friedman what would you consider (and why)? I’ve got a Dirty Shirley and a Small Box. The Dirty Shirley may be my favorite amp EVER for playing live. It just has an amazing feel and at 40w it seems to sit perfectly in with a live rock band. The Smallbox isn’t...

    Dirty Shirley with Alnicos?

    Anyone ever give the Dirty Shirley a good run with alnico Celestions: blues, new creams etc? I have always been curious to give it a try, though I can't imagine anything better than the way it sounds through the quad of old Greenbacks I have.

    Special order "custom color" stuff?

    Are there any sort of rough price guidelines as to what one might expect to pay for a non-standard tolex and/or grill cloth choice? Say for instance you wanted a Dirty Shirley Combo in white tolex? Or something a little different like Fawn Slub? The special pink and white rig Steve Stevens...

    Report back from the field: Dirty Shirley content

    I've been using the Dirty Shirley for roughly the last 8 months at rehearsals, gigs and in some demo recording but just this past weekend I got to take full advantage of it in a proper studio context. We spent a few days recording at Electrical Audio in Chicago with a gentleman named Steve...

    Odd-ball hypothetical question for Dave regarding mods.

    Or really anyone out there. I just snagged one of those little Marshall JTM-1 Offset 1 watt mini half stacks for tinkering late at night while the wife and kid are asleep in the next room. Has anyone out there heard or seen of any evidence of modding these little guys in any way, or even done...

    Dirty Shirley (DS40) owners: what are you using for a boost?

    I've been using the DS40 for about 8 months now. Prior to this I was using an old 50w JCM800. With the JCM800 I was using an old two knob Crowther Hot Cake to push the front end when I wanted higher gain. It worked great with that amp for me. Gave me exactly what I was looking for. Since...

    Weird grounding issue with Friedman 4x12?

    I encountered an issue at rehearsal last night that I couldn't quite make heads or tails of. First a little background/context. I have two half stacks: A. Early 80s Marshall JCM 800 2204 and g12-65 loaded 4x12. B. Friedman Dirty Shirley and a special ordered matching Friedman 4x12. Up until...
