Attempt: Zakk tone with a Friedman Small Box

The sat really is the only thing giving it more gain. I did a very slight tweak that tightens is up just a little to be a touch more hard rock. Record a clip without the sat also it still can be heavy.

My stock Smallbox can get extremely heavy sounding. If someone can't get good heavy 80's tones out of a Smallbox then their is something wrong somewhere. I have been playing on and off all day today and my amp just sounds like a beast. I don't even have the gain cranked on my BE channel.
 
Just got my small box combo. Sounds really great with the gain maxed and volume at 11 oclock through my torpedo live. Have not tried it at volume through the cab yet. If anyone is looking for a good boost i think the klon ktr sound really great on the plexi ch.

Sorry if I misunderstood. Whatever is going on with Ch2 i am in love with this amp
 
I´ve ordered mine with footswitchable Sat Switch and an extra master volume to give me more gain and compression, almost like a third Channel or a solo boost. I did it based on David advice and after seeing your videos, I´m glad I did that way! I´m very impressed with your tone. Congratulations! Can´t wait to get mine!

You got one hell of a nice sounding amp coming your way. Enjoy it. Clips!!!!

Hhmm... I can't get 80's tone from mine with or without pedals. My smallbox is collecting dust in my basement. Using my marshall jmd1 with jcm 800 preset instead. My dealer told me that the amp was not meant for playing those "modern" tones. I regulary listen to all the great clips posted on youtube, and this is no exception. So maybe I need a Sat switch or something is wrong somewhere :confused: :confused: :confused:
 
Sorry guys been working a lot. Aldrich pickups in the orange Suhr
 
Where do you like your bass on the amp once you get the volume up?

Someone gonna help this guy out? Give him some settings and pickup recommendations etc?
 
My orange Suhr has the Aldrich pick ups. Settings...
Pres. 2:00
Bass. Maxed
Mids. 12:00
Treb. 1:00
Gain. Maxed
Volume the louder the better

In all my vids ch 2 was with the SAT switch on
 
My LP has a SD jb pickup in bridge position. Is the Aldrich a better choice for zakk tone? I believe the JB is hotter
 
If you want zakk tone it's all about emg's. I have an Aldrich and its tighter and clearer/ articulate the. The jb

Yeah, but I think a JB, an Aldrich or an EMG should get him in the ballpark. It sounds to me by his other post that he isn't even remotely in the ballpark to Zakk or anything else 80's ish.
