Watched this video 4 times in the last 24 hours. The tones with the SS-100 here are beyond awesome! Rebel Yell *and* Opeth in the same video - love it! Thank You Zach!!
This is just so good! I love Friedman amps, and I have a JJ Jr. but this just has to be the best one (to my eye's at least). Your playing and recording is on point as usual, you alway make they best gear sound even better... All these amp and guitar builders need to give you a fat check for making their creations sound the best they can.
Sounds like the SS100 v1 merged with the BE Deluxe 100. Still loving the tones you got with the SS100 v1. Hell, almost any tube Friedman amp these days sounds incredible. Great playing as always Zach. Top notch content!
I've watched this video a ton of times. Great tone and great playing. I've got one on order...should be here in a few weeks. I cannot wait. I was split between a BE-50, BE-100 Deluxe, and this amp. This video pushed me towards the SS-100 v2. It sounds edgier than either....I've read the same too. We shall see how it sounds in real life.
I’ve demo’d a few Friedman amps and I feel like the new Steve Stevens model is the most versatile amp in the Friedman lineup- can do vintage, modern, high gain, crunch, smooth and everything in between
You have such tight and articulate playing and great tone. I also think you and I are probably close to the same age considering the 90’s bands you will play like Hum and Failure and Smashing Pumpkins but then also for later bands like Opeth. Anyway, keep up the great work!
probably best friedman video from all the videos ever uploaded...or..wait, what the heck ?? maybe the best video ever uploaded.. bravo ! friedman should send you one SSv2 for free, because this will sell a lot of those /,,/ PS : ever thought about making IR of your Mic/cab combo ? that would be sick !
"This is where I live 90% of the time." My man I'm high on Opeth 24/7. Lol but for real your demos are amazing. It must help that you've got some great axes, too.
Zach, great playing and tones, as always! It would be really awesome if you made a video about the Les Paul Custom Silverbust, telling its history, just like you did with the Les Paul Classic Custom. Keep up the great work, just found out about the channel, my favorite right now!
Nice to hear some Atomic Playboys! I've been listening to that record pretty much on repeat for the last week. And that section with the Tele was beautiful
I had that exact guitar purchased for 1200 new do to a deal I got. I’ve had a few Les Paul’s and that was my favorite. It was actually made without any flaws unlike some others.
Sounds like Dave upped the filtering on the new one to make it tighter. The old one most likely has 12000 series filtering. Which is good on that circuit. But on a master volume can be a bit mushy. That amp sounds much better than the first version.
What impresses me the most, is how you're able to capture such great audio. I feel like I'm in the room with the amp. Awesome job and riffs
Thanks Simon! Really appreciate it.
@@ZachWish With that said... now you have to make a video and explain what gear you use and how you use it, what mics infront of cab etc.. Cheers..
@@klotzamplification9142 th-cam.com/video/5g6mB4v5CpE/w-d-xo.html 👍
agree!
AWESOME playing: Clean, chugs, metal, prog rock. The amps is incredible but your demo/playing does it better. Thanks for doing this!
You always make everything sound like the best thing ever.
Thanks so much man! I'd say the same to you.
That Opeth at the end… so haunting
Watched this video 4 times in the last 24 hours. The tones with the SS-100 here are beyond awesome! Rebel Yell *and* Opeth in the same video - love it! Thank You Zach!!
Thanks man! Appreciate it.
Always happy to hear that 3rd riff, it's really good.
A Friedman slaying some Dimmu.. That's good stuff there.
The OG just smothered in butter! Nice demo again man.
Man I wasn't expecting the Havok riffs, loved that
That jazzmaster is sick. The tones are incredible!
Epic recording man, more impressive than the amp itself
This has to be the best tube amp ever! What a wonderful tone!!
Definitely a great one! Thanks so much for checking out the video!
As usual Zach, one of the best amp demos one could take in, and use to inform a decision. Cheers.
So good as always, dude!
Thanks so much man!
Once again, your playing is amazing.
The first amp of the series was awesome enough. But this one is out of this world. Great job demoing it 🤙
The fact that you can cover such a wide range of music and then come up with an original riff that is incredible is, to say the least, impressive...
This is just so good! I love Friedman amps, and I have a JJ Jr. but this just has to be the best one (to my eye's at least). Your playing and recording is on point as usual, you alway make they best gear sound even better... All these amp and guitar builders need to give you a fat check for making their creations sound the best they can.
Great tonal diversity and professional recording. Very enjoyable. Subbed!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Love your demo's man! Always sound great and you are a fantastic rhythm player. Well done.
Thanks so much Brett! Really appreciate the kind words. Love your stuff as well! Hope you're doing well.
Fantastic playing and tone!😊
Man…the way that Atomic Playboys riff hits…wow. I was already sold but now I can’t wait to get my hands on one!
Absolutely love this amp, but even more impressed by your playing and tight rhythm chops. Bravo 👏
Sounds like the SS100 v1 merged with the BE Deluxe 100. Still loving the tones you got with the SS100 v1. Hell, almost any tube Friedman amp these days sounds incredible. Great playing as always Zach. Top notch content!
Thanks so much! Appreciate it.
Was already wondering when we’d get your video for this. Worth the wait as always! Amp sounds great!
Fantastic.Articulation, technique & primo tone.
Love your channel dude. I am now on marathon listening to all awesome riffs you played and making timestamps. Then I will learn them all
I've watched this video a ton of times. Great tone and great playing. I've got one on order...should be here in a few weeks. I cannot wait. I was split between a BE-50, BE-100 Deluxe, and this amp.

Fantastic demo! Big shout out on the Kings x and opeth riffage!
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Damn. Thought I was done. Not only did I like the the amp, that Tele got to me.
Sick pieces dude!!!
Love the recorded guitar tone! TLM and SM57 are a great mix
King's X riffs are always a good choice to demo high gain amp tone!
Ty is the man. Thanks for checking out the video!
Love the King’s X! Sounded awesome!
I was hoping SOMEBODY was going to pick up on his excellent rendition of ‘Complain’.
Uh... yeahman, cool 😎 I got a neuro synaptic realignment AND got to check out this amp. Bravo 👏
When I feel the need to listen to awesome tones I just come to your channel! Greetings and respect from Greece!
Opeth riffs for days.. my man. My dude ❤️
I’ve demo’d a few Friedman amps and I feel like the new Steve Stevens model is the most versatile amp in the Friedman lineup- can do vintage, modern, high gain, crunch, smooth and everything in between
Sounds Awesome so thick & crunchy
Band sounds good got that Queens of the Stone Age thing going on a little bit of Foo Fighters to very 90s I love it great production
So haunting… I literally got the chills when you started playing opeth
You have such tight and articulate playing and great tone. I also think you and I are probably close to the same age considering the 90’s bands you will play like Hum and Failure and Smashing Pumpkins but then also for later bands like Opeth. Anyway, keep up the great work!
Thank you for this demo, you are the best!!
The best amp maker out there today in my opinion (see, I spelled it out)
probably best friedman video from all the videos ever uploaded...or..wait, what the heck ?? maybe the best video ever uploaded.. bravo ! friedman should send you one SSv2 for free, because this will sell a lot of those /,,/ PS : ever thought about making IR of your Mic/cab combo ? that would be sick !
"This is where I live 90% of the time." My man I'm high on Opeth 24/7.
Lol but for real your demos are amazing. It must help that you've got some great axes, too.
far out this amp just sounds so good.
Sounds monstrous dude, incredible video!!
I'm amazed how well that SS channel cleans up. Great playing as always.
OMG!! That amp in your hands is just sublime! Sounds effin ace 😋
Grazie.
By far the best I've ever heard a SS100. Hat's off, and fine video.
HAVOK ON A GRETSCH, KILLED IT
Yep, snarly and agressive….I DIG IT!!! - Great playing as always Zach, well done!!!!!
please make an impulse response of your cab/2mic combo! they sound great!
that would be unreal !
Absolutely love it!!
That was awesome man! Killer tones and chops!! Thanks!
I like this amp , less boxy congested muddy low mids , nice articulation , bright but not overly harsh , plenty of attack , nice mids overall.
Love the black LP, it sounds amazing. I have the friedman be 100 deluxe its killer also
Awesome as always. Always kudo's for the Opeth riffs.
Sounds so good!
Wow I love this amp, awesome playing thanks so much
Goood tones and vibe here, thanks for the inspiration!
Killer! Love the Opeth too! 🔥🔥🤘🤘
Kings X in a demo. Nerver heard that before. Love it ❤❤❤
Zach, great playing and tones, as always!
It would be really awesome if you made a video about the Les Paul Custom Silverbust, telling its history, just like you did with the Les Paul Classic Custom.
Keep up the great work, just found out about the channel, my favorite right now!
Great sound. 🎸
It sounds fantastic thx for the review
Awesome tone/sound! Love all your riffs man 💯👌🏼👏🏼
was NOT expecting to hear havok. made me double take, good shit
Some awesome Opeth riffs in there. And Dimmu Borgir. Nice.
Hell yeah, I love playing some metal on a big fat, semi hollow like that Gretch. Props.
i literally fell in love with the second guitar. So sweet :)
Regarding the video : Great gear, great tone. Keep it up :)
Nice Frickin Black "Les Paul".🤟👍
I could listen to those dirtied up tele cleans all day 🔥
I'll always envy you that Jazzmaster, sounds superb🥺
Nice to hear some Atomic Playboys! I've been listening to that record pretty much on repeat for the last week. And that section with the Tele was beautiful
I had that exact guitar purchased for 1200 new do to a deal I got. I’ve had a few Les Paul’s and that was my favorite. It was actually made without any flaws unlike some others.
Makes me want to get one of these or upgrade my Dirty SHirley 20 to the twin sister! Stellar playing as usual man. The tone is fantastic.
Love the kings x in there
Gotta have that Dogman or Prisoner riff from Kings X in the next video 😎
The amp sounds really good but dawn your riff sounded great! Well done once again man!
Thanks so much!
Telecaster sound nice 👍
That playing sounded great dude, and sexay guitar collection!
That's a sick LP
Love the Opeth! It sounds great!
Great tone!
Great playing, killer tones!
Would love to see you do a video on one of the Orange Rockerverb MK III's
Please do tonex captures of your amps😅. Instantanely i'll Buy it❤
Great as usual! Nobody seems to notice the effect of the speakers used. The H caracter is very much present in all your videos.
Great video! Man it sounds great.....
Sounds like Dave upped the filtering on the new one to make it tighter.
The old one most likely has 12000 series filtering. Which is good on that circuit. But on a master volume can be a bit mushy.
That amp sounds much better than the first version.
Great riffing. Beautiful guitar collection. The Jazzmaster is super-hot.
you should do a v2 vs v1 if you still have the og! Amazing demo per usual man
Waiting for a SS100 V1 vs V2 shootout!
Great vid as usual. More bark and less compression that the original. Preferred the original’s tones.
Legit sounds just like my Diezel VHX. And as expensive. Great sounds
Another great demo and playing !!
Maybe some bogner Amps of you ever get a chance
Awesome tones, dig that u put in some dimmu
