    The settings in the intro sounds a lot like my Laney VH100R, but with a slightly improved low end. EDIT: On further listen, this amp is so close to my Laney VH100R that I'd suggest it as a cheaper substitute for people who don't have the $$.

    So far this is my favorite heavy sounding Friedman amp but EXPENSIVE. I prefer the tone of the Diezel amps and would rather get a Diezel VH4 or Herbert amp for a little more cash and has better MIDI features. Just me though. Or get this amp and the Diezel VH4 pedal.

  • @goodgriefitssimon
    @goodgriefitssimon ปีที่แล้ว

    I finally got a Friedman BE 100 & it can go from sparkly bright clean to super saturated, compressed, high gain metal with a smooth, high end. BE 100 covers multiple sounds and tones for me with its two channels, 3 modes (clean, BE, HBE) and a multitude of dip switches.
    However, the Butterslax just seems to do just one narrow spectrum of sound with its 3 dedicated channels: not very clean to really sharp, brash gain, to just too much gain.
    Yet, both amps cost exactly the same new: $4K each. Easy to see which is the better value.

      There's a high end market for everything. Here, you're talking about a company that operates in California, making hand wired amps (very labor intensive) with top shelf components. Of course there is a markup, as they exist to make money as one of their primary reasons. You also have to consider, the market dictates pricing as well. If nobody paid $3,900 for this amp, Friedman would be forced to lower their prices to sell amps, or they would go under. If they're still here, it means people are buying them
