    For Sale Friedman runt 50

    I just got one of these for about that price. I had to do it at that price, had to. I LOVE this amp. Worth every penny and more.

    Friedman Runt 50 - Received today, initial review!

    Are you guys playing in cookie monster bands that the Runt 50 doesn't have enough gain? Sheesh. I put a 12AT7 in V1 in mine and I still don't dime the gain knob. I love this amp and it's probably the cheapest tube head I own. But I have a Suhr SL67 coming next week and the Runt may have to...

    Thoughts on the Marshall DSL20H?? Alternatives?

    I just had an SV20H for two weeks, flipped it. IME, these 20w heads sound great, but are too loud for a practice amp, yet can't hang with a drummer at band practice. If your needs are somewhere in between that, then a 20w may fit the bill. I had a 2525C and sounded glorious. But I took it to...

    Katana into 4x12

    I think I paid $279 for mine used a few years ago. It has saved my ass at a gig once and it it's always with me for a backup. Can't go wrong for the money.

    communications with the new Soldano shop

    I don't know how Mike is with email, but he used to answer the phone when he was in Seattle. Dave Friedman is very responsive on email.

    communications with the new Soldano shop

    I will PM you the guy I dealt with recently. Though he also sat on my parts order for a few weeks, then apologized and threw a Soldano shirt in with my order.

    got invited to sit in a Beatles tribute band for a few months while lead guitar player is recovering from surgery

    Can you borrow the gear from the guy you're filling in for? There was a British Invasion band here a while ago and a few of the guys worked at Fender. They just about all played Fender guitars and amps and sounded fantastic.

    Got a temp ban on TGP

    Ironically, that gun nut thread over there is so big, I think people would consider it a good resource. I know I go back and search for some stuff in there once in a while. I have to think, when the mods aren't getting pegged by their girl bosses, they sometimes fantasize about owning guns and...

    Got a temp ban on TGP

    There is a thread on TGP that the mods let go on for years, still going on about guns. Can't discuss laws and politics there, and a lot of antis jump in and make snide comments that the mods delete. But it's like the only near-forbidden fruit over there. BTW, I'm a gun nut and FFL, so I like...

    Got a temp ban on TGP

    Some pillow biter mod over there gave me a time out for responding to some other cuck who said I "voted for" some BS having to do with customs/import duties. I don't even remember what it was about, but I hadn't started anything political at all. After that I no longer renewed my paid...

    First Friedman Jose vid.

    Everyone get off my lawn, but I am getting to the point that I can't handle anything with more than six knobs. The old Marshalls just do it for me. If I need to bring an SD-1 and Hot Plate with me, those and the old Marshall are still a lot less than a boutique amp. I love the black panel...

    First Friedman Jose vid.

    YT videos are hard to go by. I'm selling my Dirty Shirley head because I bought it based on YT videos and it didn't sound like that to me at band practice. At home alone, sure, but it didn't work with the band. I saw an A/B video today of a Friedman Plex and a Marshall 1959SLP and I...

    First Friedman Jose vid.

    So why not just get a 1959SLP? I have two and they just slay everything in their paths. I keep buying Friedmans, selling them and then looking at the next model - Plex and now Jose. But those 100w Plexis get THE tone every time. They're' big, heavy and loud, and I much prefer the more...
