i might have to try these out in my Boogie at some point...

Agreed! But the mix has something to do with it as the difference between the UK and US mix shows. How to get that punch? Less compression and more highs?

Same here

Dude’s an animal. His stint in Rainbow kind of made that band. Ya gotta love Coverdale, though. He doesn’t ask much from his audience, and the audience doesn’t ask much from him.

Ok, so all you mixer/producer/engineer master minds out there... How do you get a kick to sound this good? (Besides having Cozy play it : )

From the ad: "This is serial number 0040 built by Paul Hammer in early 1976"

Two feedbacks, one from 2015 and the other from 2020.

No idea what I was thinking. Outstanding guitar.

IIRC, way back in the dark ages, when I started drooling over guitars, Gibson listed their top of the line archtop (Super 400) at $1225, with an added $50 for natural. (I guess they were $400 when first produced). So the upcharge is nothing new.

I realized this is another one where I can use my capital one shopping rebates. Apparently I get $25 back if I use ebay (Pro Audio Star has it on ebay). I submitted an offer for $72. I'll give it a shot. Capital One makes you jump through some hoops. I forgot about it so I still haven't redeemed the $90+ I have there. This reminded me to jump through another hoop so hopefully it'll be done soon.

Damn cool amp!

I have some regrets. but fortunately no Ragrets.

That is a badass guitar.

Too much weird stuff with that sellers profile.

Absolutely great sounding amp at a usable 20 watts. Excellent condition. Used only in the home. No longer made as Jerry is endorsed elsewhere now. BE channel is worth the price of admission but you also get a solid clean channel and the JBE boost if you want all of that sludgy, high gain Alice In Chains sound. Only selling because I find that my IR-J suits my preferences and needs a little bit better Cab is a vertical and ported 212 loaded with V30’s, 100% stock. Cheapest I found the head used was at a Guitar Center for $1,050 before tax & delivery. I’ll do it here for $1,000 shipped PPFF for the head only. Open to other forms of payment if you prefer. If you want the cab, I would do $1,800 for the pair and you cover the shipping. Shipping that cab can’t be cheap so I’m willing to meet up a couple hours outside of Chicagoland if you prefer. Also open to trades for cool guitars or amps. More than happy to take additional pics if you want them. Here’s the details if you wanna read it all… Dave Friedman teamed up with Jerry Cantrell and captured the Alice In Chains guitarist’s iconic tone and ferocity in the Friedman JJ-100 - Cantrell's first ever signature amp. The JJ-100 was an instant success. Not being the types to leave a great thing alone, they decided to cram all that punishing tone and grind into a stage-friendly 20-watt monster. Introducing, the Friedman JJ-Junior. The JJ-Junior still gives you the same 2-channel, EL-powered tone that has carved out a legendary place in rock. All of the saturated, complex harmonic overtones are still lurking inside, as well as the AC30-like cleans. At 20 watts, the JJ-Junior lets you take the stage, studio, or jam session with total confidence. Jerry and Dave spent years perfecting the "JJ" sound. Now, you can have the same tonal experience, in a smaller format, without sacrificing the attention to detail that goes into every Friedman amplifier. The JJ Junior features and internal load and cab-simulated XLR output. Comparing this analog circuit to some of the most intricate computer-based IRs, Dave achieved a direct output you can proudly send to front of house or use in the studio. The JJ Junior also allows you to play "silently," meaning you can safely play the amp WITHOUT having a speaker cabinet connected. The XLR output includes a ground-lift, level, and center/edge of speaker cone simulation switches. The JJ Junior was specifically designed to take pedals well especially boosts, ODs, phasers, flangers, tremolos, and wahs. The ultra-transparent buffered, series effects loop takes time-based effects pedals and rack units equally well. This is the exact same FX loop Friedman uses on all its amplifiers including the legendary BE-100. The head cabinet features beautiful black Tolex, with Baltic Birch construction and the same grille cloth used on the original JJ-100. Features: Jerry Cantrell’s signature grind in a compact tube head 20-watt EL84 power section, perfect for most stages, studios and rehearsals Dirty and clean channels serve up Cantrell gain and AC-like chime JBE switch unleashes even more gain and harmonic content Ultra-transparent series FX loop SPECIFICATIONS 20-Watt all tube Head Two channels 2 x EL84 power tubes 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes JBE voicing switch for a higher gain more saturated sound Clean channel: single volume knob with bright switch Dirty channel: gain, master, treble, middle, and bass Global presence knob XLR Cab Simulated output with Ground Lift, Axis and Level switches. You can record without having your speaker connected 8 and 16 ohm impedance selector

That kinda makes some sense I suppose.

It's the same philosophy as the J-50 being a premium over the J-45. The natural finish requires pristine wood because nothing can be hidden beneath the paint. Not saying it's a valid argument, but it's their argument.

IF (IF!) I were going to give $11,000 for a guitar, that would be among the rarified half dozen contenders. Odd most of the guitar shows wear but the top seems almost pristine.

I have so many fucking regrets I try not to think about them. None have anything to do with a guitar.

That gap between the bridge and the tailpiece gives me pause. Why come it be like that?

I just noticed the Mod Shop has a natural finish Trini Lopez for $500 higher than a finished model. Annnnnnd, it has a dent in the binding! Pre-dented and unfinished must be the kewl new mods.

I regretted letting go of the one with cream rings & top hats so I grabbed the one with black rings and domes ~10 years later…
