As one of the youngest members on this board, I volunteer as tribute… 🙋🏻‍♂️

You dumb bastard….

Edited to add to original post that if someone wants the head only without the cab, I would consider splitting them up and shipping the head. Buyer pays actual shipping.

@Jakeboy, Rockman!

Posted on Craigslist at a slightly higher price. If it doesn’t sell in a week or two, I’ll add it on Reverb.

Oh yeah, and before the mega pack of D’Addarios I got at the last stupid deal sale, I was using Ernie Ball Slinky’s for a while… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, I legit almost contacted him after watching that video back then…

Saw that one a little while ago. Cool video. Kinda makes me want an Artist again…

I do have short, stubby fingers thanks to my mom. I was actually a bit surprised at how it came out in that pic…

Killer sounding 20 watt amp with vertical 2x12 cab. All stock. In great condition. Head is mint. Cab has a couple of scuffs on the bottom, see pics (finger for scale… 😂) Links to sweetwater for new price comparison. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/JJ-JUNIOR--friedman-jj-junior-jerry-cantrell-signature-2-channel-20-watt-tube-head https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/FVert212Gld--friedman-vertical-212-120-watt-2x12-inch-extension-cabinet-gold-weave Cheapest I see on reverb right now is $1,290 for the head and $800 for the cab. For the HFC I would do $1,100 for the head and $700 for the cab. $1,700 for the pair together. Cash in person or PPFF. No shipping at this time. Located in west suburbs of Chicago. Willing to drive 2 hours for a meet up. EDIT: If someone wants the head only; I will consider splitting them up and shipping the head. Buyer pays actual shipping. Quick and dirty photos attached, more available on request.

So…. “Sounds great. Feels great. You should get one” noted….

LOVE it!!! Congrats on the new guitar. I’ve perused their site a few times. Really like their designs. Full tone report when you’ve put it through its paces.

I do have a boost and an EQ…. 🤔

I switch between Boomers and D’Addarios based on the sale. I can’t tell a difference. I’ll use one for a few years and then the other. Maybe it’s just me…. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That has definitely been a consideration.

I use mostly humbuckers, occasionally p90’s and every so often a true single coil in the bridge. With the Friedmans it seems like most of his amps are some variation of the modded Marshall with his vintage Plexi being the starting point. Some amps are higher gain, more compressed, etc, but they all seem to share that same basic starting point. I’ve looked at the Plex, the JEL, and the Smallbox and at this point I don’t know if my ears are good enough to hear the difference between those 3. And since so many Plexi amps were a bit different due to variations in components over the years, I’m not necessarily looking for a specific Plexi sound. plus, when you figure how many of those great Plexi tones we love from our guitar heroes were modded or otherwise affected by studio recording techniques and effects, might I even be better served by sticking with my JJ Jr or a BE/Dirty Shirley variant when I would just throw an OD in front of a Plexi anyway…

I have definitely looked at that amp multiple times. Watched the video several times as well. Might be time to watch it again…

I like it. If it had a bigger neck than a “modem C” I’d probably grab it at that price.

Not sure how I missed this original post. But, I’m for sure in for a copy. I’ll keep checking to see when it’s available for order/pre-order.

I just saw an identical train car in the west Chicago suburbs about 30 seconds ago….

Since they all sound damn good, how would you say the Lion and the IR-J compare to the Suhr in feel and response?

Open to any and all suggestions on something for that distinct Plexi sound and feel. Amps, pedals, etc: anything goes. Amp-wise, the closest I have to anything Marshall-like is a Friedman JJ Jr. The BE channel is a great modded Marshall sound but more compressed and less rude than a true Plexi style amp. Not sure how closely I could dial it in to mimic that classic sound. If I go the Plexi amp route, I’d probably sell/trade the Friedman. Not that I want to, but getting rid of it is not my first choice. Getting anything over 20 watts and I would 100% have to grab an attenuator as well. I’ve got a Swart Night Light that works fantastically well with my lower wattage amps but wouldn’t be appropriate for anything 50 watts or more I was looking at pedals like the Friedman IR-J which I could plug into the effects return of the JJ Jr and essentially have a JEL-20. Other pedals like the Universal Audio Lion, Lovepedal, Wampler, Carl Martin, etc… have all piqued my interest. I’ve even considered checking out the Synergy modules. Let me know if there are any pieces of gear I should really check out. I’m all about researching stuff and the journey is half the fun. Thanks in advance!

I’ve never played a Triple Threat and it’s been a few years since I shook your hand. “Massive” gives me something to go on, though. 😉

Looks great, Jeff. Congrats! what’s the neck carve?
