+1 the Jose doesn't suffer from treble fatigue. I have a B.A.D. SLO 100, which I love. They're 2 completely different amps. The SLO has its own sound, gobs of gain and that authoritative midrange push. The Jose is more articulate and at its heart is a Marshall. I found myself having to hit...

Thanks for sharing and congrats on the new Jose. Definitely a cool amp, right alongside that Anderson Bobcat. That's one axe I wish I wouldn't have sold. There's just something about how Andersons play so effortlessly. They lack fight/character because they are all so well built. The QC is...

Wizards are killer amps, no doubt. I own a MCII and MTL. I had a Friedman Jose for 3 days. It was a cool, plenty of harmonic content and clarity, but I felt it lacked in the gain department. My issue was I was looking for something more modern, so I ended up with a Ground Zero Hellion...

Yes it appears one is coming. Let's see how long they can keep the reissue cash printing machine running. Hopefully they put some time and effort into addressing the known oscillation issue. Highly doubt it though since doing so would require a production change and cut into profits.

Yup they look like rebranded JJ's.

@Nashville Riff Co that's similar to my experience. Early Metallica tones can be had, but that's about as high gain as you're going to get with that amp. At the end of the day, I found myself wanting more gain. Friedman's Jose is a cool amp. But I ended up landing a Ground Zero Hellion v2...

It's a cool amp. Like a previous poster mentioned, it really shines when doing hard-rock tones, modern tones... not so much. I had one for a weekend, but ended up parting ways with it. For the money ~$4k, I feel there are better options out there. Not a knock against Dave. He makes great...

👍👍 still waiting to get an email invite to buy one. Glad to see people are receiving their orders and the amp is meeting expectations.

@stratjacket I signed up March 21st @ 6:23am. Pretty sure that was the day the list rolled out. Any rate, sounds like we're in the same boat. Looking forward to snagging one when available.

Still waiting on the invite email... Was told they received 150 people on the list the first day it was rolled out. So far they've only produced ~80 of them. Was told to hang tight. They're working on cranking out more of them. In the meantime, looking forward to hearing YouTube clips of...

Another forum member ( @hellzington ) turned me on to the Zio by Source Audio. I don't personally know that forum member, but watch some of his YouTube content from time to time, which is worth a watch. It's a great recommendation for Rectifiers. It can color the sound slightly, or reduce...

Had a Badlander 100. It was a cool amp, but I missed the massive wall of sound a Dual/Triple Rectifier bring to the table. Never tried it with the Mr. Scary mod. Have heard it helps add saturation. Just prefer the gutteral lowend of the Dual/Triple. The Badlander doesn't necessarily need...

I A/B'd the MTL 100 E34L against a III+ HRG (Red Stripe not that it matters now). The noise floor on the Wizard was much lower and its build quality was superior. Both sounded great, but the GEQ of the Mark really makes it more flexible. Either way someone goes, I'm sure they'd be happy.

An original H power section has more push, sounds more full and alive. The JP2C is a great amp but does sound more processed and sterile compared to an original. WIth that all being said, it is splitting hairs in the grand scheme of things. The JP2C shines with channel switching, dual eq's...

Mesa had to make new GEQ boards with new component values to compensate the tolerance and travel. They also mount differently, supposedly have more range and are better than the old ones. Got that from the man.

Both are great amps, but damn those Wizards are something else... Scored an MCII 50w and MTL 100w both E34L loaded and would really like to cop a KT88 loaded Hell Razor and/or MTL MKII. Really well built amps, but man they carry a hefty price tag and kick like a MF'r.

Based off clips online, it sounds more like a classic rock amp. I own a MC2 50w E34L and MTL 100w E34L, more modern sounding, more gain. Both are excellent amps and have raised the bar on my current stable. So much so, I'm considering cutting a couple of my amps loose. For those who...

@GJgo yes, he only mods the Red Channel and the clean channel is effected by the mod. @GJgo when the hell is Mesa going to start sending you these new amps to demo? You think with all the content you've put out there, they'd send the new Dual Rec your way.
