See the problem with Friedman amps is, that all the amps sound amazing. So you just end up wanting all of them.

@cardbored_ 3 года назад

Exactly, I bought the SmallBox 2 weeks ago and I liked it so much I started gassing for a Dirty Shirley, so I ordered one yesterday.

The amazing thing about the SmallBox and Friedman amps in general is that every dial is useful even at their extremes. Bass doesn't turn to sludge at 10. Treble doesn't turn to ice daggers & the gain at 10 is damn good. Most amps fart out when the gain is dimed. Really spectacular.

@freecarver011 3 года назад

Two years ago I went for the Shirley! Every time I plug into this amp at the rehearsals room I get flashed from new by its great tone! It was the coolest Idea to take the fat sound and responding feel of a JTM45 and mix it with the agressive gain of a JCM800. My 2 favorite Amps in one headshell. With my Telly and my R8 the gain switch is standing on the highest gain stage, and I reduce the gain for rhythm sounds with a Mad Professor Underdrive! When I play my Stanford C30 Thinline (an absolute gorgeous made Gibson 330 copy), I use the lowest gain switch and push the amp with an MXR Micro Amp, and with my 60's Rebelrelic Strat again on the lowest gain switch pushing the Amp by a Kingtone Duellist! It really sounds gorgeous! Again, what a great amp!

@davemorris1269 4 года назад

I have both, DS with the gain switch and Wildwood version of the SB. This video is partially why. They are both insanely great amps.

Your demos are EXCELLENT. I have had a smallbox for a while but I've always thought about flipping it for a dirty Shirley; you showed me that I chose to buy and keep the right Friedman for me. Keep it up. The red Friedman t video and ds mini are righteous as well. Thanks for sharing brother!

@Kevdogma72 8 лет назад

I just bought the smallbox and I love it. I researched for quit some time and almost purchased a boogie, then I saw a review on the pt-20 and other Friedman amps. Wow! I've had this amp for a week and can't stop playing!

@VanXHydrA 5 лет назад

I love Boogies, and am currently playing through my buddies Trip Rec... However, when I can muster up tge cash... I'm definitely going with either a Friedman (not sure which yet.. they are all so amazingly badass) and/or a Supro Black Magic, or perhaps Dual Tone... Both Friedman's and the Supro reissues are such amazing tone monster amps.. wish I was rich, I'd own em all lol.

@cardbored_ 3 года назад

I'm still trying to determine if the SmallBox is the right amp for me, we don't have any local dealers that carry them so I have to go on videos alone. Would you say the SmallBox can do that 90's hard/alt rock? Think Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots etc.

@1970borntorun 6 лет назад

Friedman are the best Amps on the market - PERIOD !! Dave has been around for a long time, knows what he is doing and has modified amps for all the big names in Guitarists for over 30 years. I want to like the EVH, and you have to admit, the price is very attractive for a high-gain head. The problem I have with them is the gain structure/quality. The gain sounds like 10,000 bees trapped in a jelly jar, and there isn't that clear-as-a-bell quality and punch ( like Richard Wallace commented here ) that Friedman amps possess. I forgot which company first coined the phrase - "The Tone you have in your head" , but certainly no amp company nails it like Friedman!

@chanceterrill5346 4 года назад

Michael I gotta thank u...... This video is what really made me interested in the DS40....... Since buying it I have been in tonal nirvana........ I have never been so inspired musically by anything..... Every note, every chord just oozes Mojo n inspires me to play more, and has made me a better player overall....... Just such an inspiring piece of gear........ Thanks again

The dirty shirly is a bit more modern voiced to my ears and missed the early VH tone entirely, but may handle some of the Van Hagar era stuff. Small box was as close as you can probably get to the real thing.

@PolysoundsMusic 8 лет назад

Small B. wins....by far. More definition, way tighter bass.......both are great amps though. Cool cjannel, Thanks .M.N.

@chanceterrill5346 4 года назад

Depends..... For a single guitar band the extra size the dirty shirley has is the way to go...... I went in to buy a smallbox and when I played the dirty shirley 40 watt head I fell in love...... It was no contest for me..... Left with the Shirley and have been in tone heaven ever since

@chanceterrill5346 5 лет назад

This was the first video that sparked my interest in these amps. A couple years later I bought the ds 40 with the gain switch after long deliberation (I wanted to like the sb 50 better). I chose the ds 40. When I got the opportunity to play both I played the ds first and was mesmerized, the sound instantly was the sound in my head..... I then switched to smallbox. Awesome but fou d myself almost instantly missing the chewy feel n sound of shirley. After 30 minutes of a/b testing them I consistently found myself craving the dirty shirley..... It was like doing cocaine.... U just want more and more and u can't get enough! And eventually ur wallet will be empty!

@asianaxeman 5 лет назад

My eyes opened the first time I strummed a chord on the DS... harmonic overtones aplenty and very organic sounding... Haven't pulled the trigger yet.. Thinking about DS 40. How's the headroom when playing clean live?

@chanceterrill5346 5 лет назад

@@asianaxeman it depends on what structure you have selected and how loud the amp is. With Master dimed gain on 7 in highest gain stage I can still get my les paul to cleanup enough to pull off Jimi hendrix cleans (rock n roll cleans) with volume on 2 but at 1. 5 to 1.75 in c olume I can get clean but band has to quiet down (this is highest gain settings as well). So with two more modes employing even less gain you'll have plenty of clean head room..... If u want really loud crystal clear cleans you'll have to go in lo input lowest gain structure and keep master below 7 (really really freakin loud still) after 8 it just gets more saturated anyways..... So unless your playing everything dimed with really high output pickups you'll have no problem getting cleans.... I don't n I use the highest gain setting n play in a two guitar band vocal only PA during rehearsals n like I said. No issue with cleans

@lynyrddeville 5 лет назад

It was very hard for me to choose between these 2 in combo form in real life. I chose Small Box that day and still have it. Fantastic, even just to look at. But on another day, probably Dirty Shirley, for its huge voluptuous bottom and tube rectifier. Either way, it is a keeper of an amp. Dave Friedman designs absolute killers, and backs his product. That has been my experience..

@donofly 2 года назад

Holy Fuck! You came right out the gate with Soundgarden, that amp nails it!!!! 🧐

@donofly 2 года назад

I'm sure they can both be dialed in for Soundgarden, but the Dirty shirley sounds like it was built for it.

@dickdastardly2560 4 года назад

What was you signal chain on these demos guitar - amp - ?? cabinet, DAW ? Did you do any post editing? Besides the bands you mentioned for which amp covers them the closest I play a lot of old 70s Skynyrd, ZZ Top along with 80s metal like Ratt, Ozzy, Motley Crüe, Kix the 90s weren't really my thing besides Sound Garden and Alice in Chains. If you had to choose between these two amps to cover all those bands which one would you pick?

@BigHairyGuitars 4 года назад

Bogner 4x12, sm57 + R121, Api preamp, into Logic Pro. If 70's is more important to you, go DShirtly, if 80's is more important go SmallBox. The Small box has 2 channels, so that might be important.

@johngerson7335 7 лет назад

Hey brother, help me out here... I heard something about Dave not building the amps anymore and a company by the name of Boutique Amp Distribution is building them now and the quality isn’t the same anymore??? Any advice or wisdom there that you could pass on? I was about to pull the trigger on the Small Box 50...

@djt6546 3 года назад

Ha ha Chris you are in luck I read your post... When I e-mail Friedman address only one person answers “Dave Friedman”. It’s amazing. I can’t think of any other well know brand where the guru answers the calls so to speak. I tried a SB combo with Celestion G12H-150 Redback at home along side a BE-50 deluxe head. I used the Redback in the SB combo for A/B tone comparison. A richer and yet more articulate/textured tone with soooo many more ways to shape the tone had me sold in the BE-50 but for one problem. The BE-50 has an ultra dry clean Buxom Betty channel. So I e-mail Friedman. Dave responded and said for a $300 up charge he would build me a BE-50 with channel 1 changed to a Plexi like the SB and BE-100. Dave put me in contact with one of his partners stores to process the transaction. I did have to pay up front, but it’s now 2 months later and funnily enough UPS have just sent me an out for delivery note today! Today is going to be fun and noisy :-) So in summary yes Boutique Amp Distribution is.. well the distributor.. but Dave really is building these amps. He has signed and dated the back of my custom amp for me with a Sharpie ;-) and sent me picture of him with the amp as a keep sake. So e-mail Friedman on their basic address to get answers from the man himself. He’s busy and very short with his answers, but it is him alright 👍

@jerrybarnesbass1 4 года назад

Thanks for the demos wow!!! can i get similar tones with Freidman Combo amps ( like the DSmini combo ) ?or is the magic with have the head with the speaker seperate

@kirkmulder1599 4 года назад

You can get the tones either way, long story short. A combo comes with a built in cab and speaker and notably is semi open back. It’s a great choice for a grab and go and really can do anything the head can do and more....because you can still use it with other cabs. But the head will be lighter to carry (Yet requires external cabs to play through). If you don’t already have any cabs to play through I’d recommend a combo. If you have good cabs with good speakers then it’s tour choice. Honestly $200 more for a built in cab/speaker is a great deal. But it depends on your tastes and needs. Combo is 53lbs. Head is 33lbs for small box, similar for 40w DS.

@kirkmulder1599 4 года назад

I have the DS mini combo, which is a 10” speaker and combo is only 32lbs. I did replace the greenback for a 10” gold (alnico). But the stock speaker was great I just wanted the added power handling and I love alnico speakers. I’d definitely go combo on the 20w myself but again, can’t go wrong either way if you already have cabs.

@DelReiRock 7 лет назад

Hey, man! Me, again...\O/ How would compare the High and Low input on DS? Do they have gain differences or just volume differences? Can you play ACDC or hard rock in Low input? How does it sound if you use the Low input with gain knob on max? Can you use the Low input for rhythm and High for solos in a hard rock music?

Of these two. Which do recommend. For some looking for. Jimi or frusciante cleans with guitar volume rolled back. Then rolling up to. (and most importantly) acdc angus tone. Then with a klon going to aic tone but. Most importantly which one is gonna nail acdc better?

Killer vids! I sold my BE100 in favor to JJ100 and I would really love to see your review of it and your opinion. Also, thanks for a another big hole in my wallet, now I need D. Shirly just because of that Soundgarden sound... Cheers!

@benglass769 8 лет назад

I agree that would be a great review! Also a BE100 and Phil X comparison would be great as well!

Those are tone monsters! Great demos! Would have liked to have heard the telecaster through the small box. I really need to get one of those amps.

@go4384 3 года назад

The Hear About it Later is enough to sell anyone on the smallbox. Hell, for that matter the Limo Wreck enough to sell the Dirty Shirley.

LW was nice. did SG use marshall though? thought they were MB players.

This is still a great demo of both of these amps. With a klon clone (Tumnus Delux?) you could probably make the DS sound just like the SB for Van Halen (4:05 on in the clip).
