4:43 Chunk it Metallica Style (Mesa Recto 4x12 v30)
5:58 Clean / Not-So-Dirty Shirley (Friedman 1x12)
8:21 Gretsching on some Billy Squire (Friedman 1x12)
I literally bought this amp because of this video (there wasn't one I could check out anywhere near my home) and I was NOT disappointed! It sounds awesome. It is so much fun to play!
Awesome! Glad you like it Dan!
What speaker/cab have you plugged into with this amp?
@@ratedrsuperstarthega please tell
Me too. This and Doug Rappoport’s vid. I own 3 Friedman’s now but they’ll bury me with my DSM.
I just bought this one and as good as the overdrive tones are what really surprised me is the clean on the edge of break up tones when using a guitar with single coils, it nails the tone of Hendrix or Stevie Ray.
EXACTLY what I love about my BE pedal!
I really enjoy your reviews Mike. My DS mini arrived yesterday. I was blown away the moment I plugged a Les Paul into it....after plugging in a strat I was blown away so hard, I thought I'd starve on my way to Mars. Amazing amp!
Wow it's like having ACDC over to jam in your bedroom.
OK! When you broke out SRV....that did it. Nice job and sounds super sweet.Thanks...
Right ??!! Plus a little rarely played Billy Squire at the end !!
So nice when someone is actually playing some good & decent riffs when demoing an amp. Absolutely love it!
Sounds unreal. Some reverb and a bit of delay and that's my perfect hair tone. Steve
Man, this thing sounds BROWN as the day is long. I bet it gets pretty heavy with a screamer pedal boosting it, too.
At 4:45 I threw my wallet at the screen!
Classy-D thank you 🙏 very much !!!
😂😂😂
Right!!!!
Jesus man she sounds killer - like quality vintage tones of a few different amps all in one - awesome
This could be the best amp out there right now.
For its price point, it still is (in my humble opinion)
Not the clean one though
@@javiceres True the clean tones sound pretty crappy
this video made me decide to get this over other considerations. its a bit more than i wanted to spend but DAMN! that sounds unbelievable. i have been looking for classic Marshall tones in a low watt head for awhile now. Marshall doesn't have anything near this quality of amp for $1,500 not even close. i considered building a Tubedepot JTM45+ but i MUST! have an FX loop. now i need to save up for a nicer cab. i don't think my 1x12 will quite do this amp justice im thinking an Orange 2x12 open back would be a great fit. thanks for the best demo of this amp on TH-cam.
This is the best review of this amp I've seen 👍🏻 great playing!
Just bought one off of your superb review! Basically I really really need to upgrade my practicing now! Stupidly good amp and at low volumes to!
Hey Michael. Man, thank you for responding to my question! First of all let me just compliment your demo, you're just killing it showing off the DSM. I have the 1X12 DSM closed back cab ( the cab which matches the head) it is ported to the front on either side of the speaker (hidden by the grill cloth). I have visited Dave's shop at his invitation so he could personally check what I thought was excessive hiss. He tested it with me right there and said you will get white noise as the volume and gain are cranked. In other words all okay. Let me just admit I can't play anywhere near to your level, but I appreciate fine audio equipment and great tone. As far as the guitars in my line-up...Gibson LP Standard, Tom Anderson Cobra and a new 60s reissue Strat. I was on a Gear Page and one of the Posts had your TH-cam link. I was just stunned listening to you ripping those tones out of the DSM. Now I don't know what to say knowing you're playing straight through! I'll keep experimenting with the controls on the head. Thank you again for taking the time to answer my comment I really appreciate it.
You got some nice gear there! Well, when the MDS structure switch is set in the middle, it's a pretty low gain head. For any kind of gain, I use the up position. The gain on the head is usually on 10, and I'll use that switch to change my gain structure. You'll get a little extra sauce when the volume is up at 5+, but that's way to loud for me at home. At home I use a boost to give it a little rock nudge. I like the Wampler Ecstasy, The Friedman Buxom Boost, or BEOD are GREAT with the MDS, and I'm trying out the Golden Pearl which is also phenomenal. I like that Buxom, and the BE-OD, because the tight knobs help tighten up bottom end for more aggressive riffing.
Sounds INCREDIBLE (especially w/ those P90s).
Too bad it's nowhere near affordable for mere mortals.. :-(
You get what you pay for.
Now I think I hate you. LOL Oh God that sounds so good. Just bought my self a Victory, may need one of these as well. Great Video.
Hey man which Victory amp did you buy ? I was looking at the new Sheriff 44. This Freidman is insane though ..2 many choices, can't get the next amp wrong or its divorce !!!!!
@@David-lt7kl im 2 steps from buying a sheriff22.
That was a great review! Awesome sounding amp!
Thanks Hollis!
I wish they had more amps with a parallel effects loop option. That is my favorite thing about the amps I use for all my live gigs but this sounds great for studio stuff.
How did you manage to capture the audio so well? I have a hell of a time recording my amps like that for demos....
love the billy at the end
Great review / demo.
Really nailed how good this amp sounds.
Though it's a fantastic overdrive amp, the cleans are excellent too.
Coped well in gig situations too... Plenty of volume for club / pub applications.
I bought a MDS off the back of this demo.
Stoked!!!
Someone buy that dude the rest of the drum set..... ;)
hahahahaha
Killer tone. Also big plus for "Ain't my bitch" 😏
Mini Dirty Shirley or Pink Taco? What do you think? The Pink Taco has an effects loop. I'm searching an Amp for small gigs. For the bigger gigs I use my CAA Standard+ 100 Head.
I haven't spent really enough time with the Taco to say for sure... but IMO the Shirley is perfectly balanced. Of course, much will depend on the kind of music you do. If you're doing a more Van Halen tone inspired thing, then the Taco for sure. But for most other applications, I think the MiniDS is a big winner.
+Michael Nielsen Thanx a lot.
Hi! I like your videos and would love to hear one reviewing the Friedman Pink Taco. I want to hear the difference with the mini Dirty Shirley. :). Thanks
Absolute Great Review, i´ve tsted the Bigger 40W Shirley Amp and i was Completeley Blowin Away , Now That 20 Watt Model is Great too ,and Would Fit PERFECTLY to my Bogner Atma ..
OMG I Want this Little Friedman Amp NOW !!!!
Love your demos. This amp is awesome. I live on the crunch mode and use guitars volume for cleaner tones. Funnily enough, it takes Friedman pedals really well for extra mustard! It’s my first Friedman amp, I’m hooked now. Best tone I’ve ever had
Great song choice, load and reload are totally underrated records.
Holy shit so rich and well balanced. Sounds cliché but I never thought P90's could sound like that... Thanks for sharing and taking time to explain yout tone !
Billy Squier!
it sounds so freaking good! what is it like at bedroom levels?
Absolutely kickass. If you were still wondering. Its the best bedroom amp I've ever used.
Lonely is the night!
Great great review! There are no other reviews of the mini yet and frankly no need for them with this one.
Killer review! I love this amp. One of my favorites in my collection!
Def, this kicks out Marshall :)
What are the drum sticks for?
How is it at band volumes? I love my Atma, but it falls apart over 2:00 over the master when trying to get over my drummer with a 2x12.
This is how a demo is DONE !, salutations sir
holy fucking shit this sounds insane!
I ordered this amp last week based on this video, freak man this amps sings! - We'll see once I get it! Thanks for sharing MN!
Why can't I like this video more than once? Well done.
I must have one.
Hell yah ,I think I'm going to have to go with the twin sister over the synergy head.
Very nice Michael. Had been thinking of getting a Pink Taco, but just saw this MDS and really like the tones. Great demo too, showing the settings, playing chords and leads. Only thing better would have been to show/talk about your guitar volume and tone settings! But really helpful and nicely done, thank you!
+Bill Rainbolt I tried and compared the mini dirty shirley and a Pink Taco, I prefer the Pink Taco, Why? Pink Taco sounded thicker.
Okay, I just picked up a new DSM w/iX12 cab. Mine sounds nothing like this demo. If your still around I would really appreciate info on the rest of the rig (that you can't see). What pedals on the front end or in the FX Loop? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
True Lies hi. No pedals in the loop or in front of the amp. The rest of the rig is a 4x12 cab. I use a Mesa 1x12 at home and it still sounds killer. Are you using an open back cab or closed? I have a closed back cab Friedman 1x12 which pairs nicely for blues and classic tones, not as great for rocking metal tones
I need this. Chewy, porky, juicy and hairy? Epic.
Happens to me less often I'd like (tells you something about the quality of music being written today), but I totally experienced a feeling of Frisson when you started rocking out Bill Squire on that Gretsche and Dirty Shirley with your buddy on the bass drum. Wow what a tone!!! Killer!! Rock on man, love your channel! \m/
Best video so far on this amp....and sweet guitar btw! This amp and it's big brother are KILLER!
Thanks for the review! You did a great demonstration.
Great demo Sir! Sounded epic. Tone was tasty...left me wanting more.
I just bought one... partly because of this video! Great job and yes it's a beast
ok the metallic was def spot on then some lol
Love it
Michael! Great review! This video helped me decide on picking up the DSM Combo. I'm sooo stoked. It sounds sooo creamy, full, and warm but oooohhhh SOOOO dirty! PHAT!
WOW!!!! That amp sounds AMAZING!!!!!! Damn it!
This or Runt 20 as lower wattage option to my jcm800? Thanks!!
Doesn't hurt to have a quality guitar like the P90 Freidman. Wasn't expecting a Billy Squier song but sounded awesome none the less. In my headphones even with the gain on 10 it was still pretty clear. I like that there aren't drastic tone changes at a half turn. That's an amp (not mini) I could buy and have forever.
Metallica Load tone TOTALLY SPOT ON!!! Holy smokes dude!!!
Killer tone!!!
I had watched this video several times, but never all the way to the end, for the Gretsch part. For the love of all that is Holy. That Gretsch sounds marvelous, especially through the regular, larger Dirty Shirley open-backed cabinet.
Can you tell me which model Gretsch it is?
This will teach me to watch videos in their entirety...
:) That's the stock Brian Setzer model.
Song at 8:30? I bought my friedman two days after watching this video.
"Lonely Is the Night" - by Billy Squire
MCKorczas: Lonely is the Night. Billy Squier.
Really? Lol
“The night is no longer lonely with a Dirty Shirley”
I don't know Michael, you make everything sound good! Thank you so much for the setting run throughs, really helps in hearing the range of the amp. Great amp sound at a great price. Would use it with my Marshall cab with vintage 30s.
that ending though!!
That amp sounds huge. Great job!
Nice video and great riffing- how are you recording your amp to your DAW? Do you have a load and DI box hooked up to a powered attenuator and monitors? I am looking for a smaller amp for this purpose.
Love your videos man. Have you been able to compare the mini dirty shirley to the PT20?
Love this amp! cant wait to hear it with greenbacks!
the best 20w vintage sound amp
Does this amp still hold up or is there a newer version or what ? Anybody
Hey man... I whatch your videos and can't decide... LOL
The Runt20 got more features but it's 200 dollars cheaper than Mini DS, that is a single channel with not many features. Do you know why is that difference?
I may get one of these, but trying to figure out which one. For a classic and hard rock, the DS must win, right?
Sounds great...A little on the pricey side but the tone is absolutely killer.
Dave ALWAYS delivers man. I fucking LOVE my BE pedal. Great demo. That mini RIPS!
Did you have a reverb in the loop when you were playing the Gretsch. If so what was it? It really worked well with the Dirty Shirley.
Thanks Michael for great review! Did you try DS Mini with new BE-OD pedal? It is very interesting how it sounds together.
If just using for recording through UA Ox, and Suhr RL, do you notice less heft, punch, headroom for cleans etc. than you have with the DS40?
Yeah. They do sound kinda different (DS40 vs Mini DS). The DS40 has more "klang" to it. The MiniDS is a little more compressed, but the Mini is probably my favorite amp, unless I need ungodly volume and power.
Cool, thanks for the reply. Always great playing, btw. Love your videos!
How good is the DS40 master volume compared to this? For at home practice/noodling
The DS40 master volume is fantastic. The DSmini is overall a more compressed tone, so at very volumes the mini might feel a little nicer, if you like smooth tones. The DS40 is a little more gusty and ballsy at either volume.
Best reviewer on TH-cam...
Really captured that LOAD/ReLOAD sound on Ain't my bitch, there! Sounds amazing Michael!
hi Michael. very nice demo. I really liked it. I wish the gain switch was foot switchable. But I can't afford to buy this amp. so do you have any cheaper alternative?
( I have Orange or15 in my mind ).
Can't tell how much i loooooved the Metallica chug section.... wait... I just did.
Wow it sounds so good! Considering buying one with a Victory copper preamp pedal for clean tones
Chewy reference = me lmfao. Good vid
Love your reviews. Just the right stuff. ❤
Thanks for the great video!
Out of all the Friedman Mini amps you've played, which one sounds best in medium to high gain settings?
Thanks! Many of the amps are designed to have a super clean, and high gain. The PinkTaco and the Little Sister are both 1 channel amps but do better at a wider range of in between tones. The Taco is better for higher gain, the Sister is better for the lower gain side of things
@@BigHairyGuitars Thanks Man!
I need that mini beast!!!
Hi Michael, I have a Kemper amp at the moment and I really love it. Although I feel I 'm wanting a real amp. I really like this amp in your video, I would have to get a load box and speaker simulator , maybe the Two Notes live. I know you have a Kemper so whats your thoughts after comparing both? Thanks so much.
Is that a black falcon ? what gain switch did you have it on for Billy Squire ? Awsome Job.
Ron Livingston can really sell a guitar amp.
Shirley is sweet !!!
Walking the tightrope
Thanks I'm sold
Hey Michael, I love your channel and have been a subscriber for a few years. I've been researching the Pink Taco and was disappointed that, to me, there are not any great videos on it. I was surprised you haven't done one since you are close to Dave and it seems to be geared for 80s metal. I'm curious, which is your favorite Friedman 20 watt amp? I'm assuming you have tried them all. Thanks!
Fantastic sounding man! Would you say this amp could stay clean(ish) at band volumes, then crank it for the hair? Would it make a good pedal platform, or not enough headroom?
It’s a great pedal platform. If you run it into a 4x12 it can totally hang. In a 1x12, you might have to push it too hard to stay clean
I always thought that Squier riff was killer but his tone was awful and his "feel" was off. You made that song yours! Great job.
This amp sounds awesome! I am looking for an amp that has 3 channels. I have been looking for a studio demo of the Soldano Decatone. I like the Mesa Boogie TC-50. Does Friedman have a 3 channel amp?
Wow, awesome tones!
What mics did you record this with? Great sounds!
Damn that was a 3fer, great amp great tele great demo
That amp smokes bro !! Thanks for sharing !!
