very cool channel! I was a guitar amp designer in Upstate NY for many years after my formal education. After suffering a brain aneurysm my family dissolved my company to protect me from tax trouble. Amp design was my absolute passion and like all Eddie fans I called Barbara Page at EVH management asking if I could send Mr. Van Halen one of my amps her stock reply was " I'm sorry he works with Peavey and he has an exclusive deal with them" Your Channel with Mr. Friedman is outstanding lots of great guests. Everything these guys say about the low quality of tubes being manufactured is right on, we need an American manufacture. That Single malt Scotch is amazing but to highbrow for my pocket

The look of the old late 60's Marshall heads are hands down the sexiest looking amps ever to me! I dont think anyone will ever top the look or sound of them. I can just stare at them with a smile.

I drank more than a half a bottle of Johnny walker black when I was 15 at some chicks house. I still don’t know if I’ve ever been as intoxicated even after years of heroin addiction. Lmao. Cleans for year now but I can’t still taste that whisky sometimes if I think about it long enough. PS: Joe Bonamassa did an awesome video on Rick Beato’s channel if you haven’t seen. It was awesome.

George is how I came to build my own amp.....I bought a marshall jcm 2000 dsl and still wasn't satisfied until I built my own replica of a super lead and converted it to a 2203 master volume and added a tube buffered effects loop (lee jackson).....and it sounds better than any marshall you could buy today....thank you George .....hehe

I broke up with my long time girlfriend. I knew nothing about building amps, but I knew I loved Eddie's tone. I stumbled upon the metroamp forum by chance, ordered my parts from him. Build that thing with a bottle of Jack and help from the guys on that forum. The amp worked right off the bat. Thank you so much!

I know that this video is old but i had to get in on the Scotch conversation 😂. I always have liked the Glen Livet, and Glenfiddich as well. I must say that for myself, i have always been chasing the sharp spicy afternotes of Abelour .. my brother and I shared a 5th of the Abelour on Christmas day 2001 i believe... im not sure if it is a high end Scotch, but man!!! It was just spunkier and more satisfying than the others i mentioned.. a bit spicy, a bit sharp, i believe it was 45% Alc by vol, so a 90 proof single malt, made fron some beautiful Scottish water. Great memories!

You can see the whole rig George is talking about in a Rig Rundown video, including the $40k Japanese current regulator he's talking about, and you can see the voltage settings too.They run Angus amps at 236.1V -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j5C7GKGxICg.htmlm31s

Man, Dave was fucked up! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂.....Amazing Show. Thanks Dave, Mark, and George. My all-time favorite Amp Makers are Friedman and Metropoulos. I love some other Amp Makers, but my favorite style of amps are Modded Plexi Amps, and Dave and George build them the best. I own a Friedman BE-50 Deluxe, a Friedman Twin Sister, and a Metropoulos DVL-1. All 3 are amazing amps, with amazing tonal options. God Bless.

Funny how Richard Paterson, a world class whiskey taster (I believe), said that you know to instantly walk out of the bar if the bartender puts ice in your whiskey. Apparently it's not a thing to do, it should be lukewarm water. Don't know why, perhaps a temperature and flavor thing. Paterson has a very funny "how to taste whiskey" video on RU-vid, worth watching just for the laughs. Well, I guess you can also learn some details about how whiskey is made from that as well. Although if it stings to see a perfectly good glass of whiskey thrown on the floor, maybe not your thing.

I drank scotch everyday for a week at the Dunvegan Pub after playing rounds at the Old Course in St.Andrews Scotland. They’d give you the scotch in one glass with a separate glass of water. Imo, that’s how you drink scotch. Never had a hangover the next day.

However it is this old tech that helped us design the best digital amps. Besides it is the preamp tubes that have the greatest affect, not all of course, but they change everything.
