Most Marshall amps, over the years, have not had names but have been referred to by model numbers. After being in use for a period of time some have been given nicknames which have stuck. Easy examples I can think of are 'Bluesbreaker', 'Plexi', 'Black Flag'. These amps were not release with these ...

Here is a great interview Grover Jackson and Dave Friedman about the new guitars they are building. Friedman is part of a new pod cast called Tone Talk.

I have never heard a clip of yours that I was not highly impressed with. Great job as always Al.

"Small Box" doesn't hint of innuendo........... :bgrin No more so than a 50 watt small box Marshall head. To my knowledge Marshall never made an amp called " Small Box" even if the head case was smaller, but in Marshalls case i wouldn't take it in a sexual context. I mean how else is someone suppos...

I think the names of Friedman's gear are very sexist, to say the least. Back in the day when Marshall was destroying the competition it wasn't done with a JMP Sweet Gash or a JCM 69 you know. That's what turns me off to his stuff. Brown Eye is slang for asshole, who's asshole is he referring to? I ...

I own a Friedman Small Box and a Marshall DSL and while their two channel designs may be similar, they are nothing alike. I love my DSL, but my Friedman is in another world and worth every penny of the price difference when it comes to tone, feel and construction. Plug into the Small Box and you wil...

I was able to find a couple videos with Marshall .vs Friedman. The videos both show illustrate what I experienced also. One of the videos is the JVM so you can hear basically what I did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYQyS9yDVIo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDJU17arce0 I think the difference bet...

I think the difference between the JMV and Friedman BE is night and day. Plus there is the way the Friedman feels under your fingers. I have owned a JVM amd now own a Friedman Smallbox which is a slightly more vintage sounding Friedman BE channel. The Friedman beats any amp I have ever owned. This i...

The new Engl Artist Edition E651 sounds really cool.

Here is a cool Friedman Smallbox video.

Hi John, cool amp. I have played most of the Friedman amps, and they are great quality. Have you sold the YJM Plexi? Al My beloved YJM100 went bye bye due to uncontrollable GAS for the Smallbox. The Friedman is just a better fit for me musically right now. I will always LOVE the Marshall YJM100 and...

I just bought a Friedman Smallbox 50 head due to a case of uncontrollable GAS. It is a top notch amp and a true tone machine.

Works so well with a Strat though.
See what you think.

I just stopped by to enjoy this one again Al. GREAT playing and tone!!!!

Plus they usually spend more time putting the gear through its paces at various volume levels in their reviews. I always look forward to their reviews when a piece of gear I am interested in first comes out. Their YJM100 and Silver Jubilee reissue videos were both very well done, just to name a coup...
