      Roots! Outstanding, you killed it! Now everyone can see where Dave began ..... well, in building amps.

      Well, I’m usually a classic VH/ Hair metal fan and player but that song sounded really good. It made me think of “Epic” by “Faith No More”, I don’t know why, but it had that exciting octave/orchestra sounding tone with the stops and starts… I hope I made sense.

      Video suggestion: see how close you can get to the Naked with Friedman pedals.

    That intro was like a 80's inspired version of APC - The Outsider, very cool.

      @b.scottfarthingsworth 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm listening to that intro tune and going FUUUCK that tone is some HUGE APC vibe and the amp sounds so vicious, great and airy - bam, he starts talking about Howerdel... 😮

      No doubt!

    A black'd out Naked popped up on Reverb back in 2013 (for like $2,500?!?) like TWO days after I dropped a pretty hefty amount of dough on a used VH4. I LOVE my VH4, but I will never stop kicking myself for missing out on that Naked.

    • @williamdesilva67
      @williamdesilva67 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Check out budda superdrive series as I have read that when Dave designed the preamp circuit in the budda it was basically the naked circuit with a few minor tweaks.. and they are priced very well

  • @regortex3364

    The Alex Lifeson riffs are cool because he used anything and everything, proving it’s not the amp at all.

  • @Jay-sy5yf
    @Jay-sy5yf 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Something tells me Michael can hear those post production lexicons even before they are added in as he plays.

  • @taylormesa

    Since these aren’t in production, can we get a Kemper pack?? 🤞🏻

  • @b.scottfarthingsworth
    @b.scottfarthingsworth 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Holy crap that tune was awesome brother!! And that tone is beyond with the right chunk, the right bite, and the mids aren't muddy or nasal - it's got the goods. Reminds me of LeTekro a bit - the Naked wins wow.

  • @pcbullets8726

    Both amps sound really good. I would be happy with either one.

  • @Jalliams
    @Jalliams 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So grateful for this video, Mike. That is Billy’s sound! Never heard that from any other amp.. fat, full & and aggressive with that somehow ‘rusty’ high mid range/ highs. Even the (very) clean sounds have that certain character to it.
    Always assumed Billy’s LP’s had custom wound PAF style pickups, unpotted or some such, creating the that retro, rusty, full mid range. Someone told me once Billy wound his own pickups, so figured that, and a modded plexi was the tone. Speaking as a massive APC fan, this was immensely satisfying.
    Goddamn that second Naked amp sounded ridiculously good too.. the BE definitely does not do ‘that’.

  • @Auen73

    It reminds me of my 1st generation Quick Rod...especially with that white one nearly being a twin. Not bad at all.

  • @philm.2812
    @philm.2812 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Ugghhh, I had one of the earlier ones from 2010 in the old style 2203 headshell. Just like this white one except black. It was a uniquely great amp and one of the ONLY pieces of gear I regret selling. Between the main channel, the simple one-knob clean, Saturation switch and effects loop it had everything you need and nothing you didn't.

    way to nail the inspired by aspect of that intro track... literally sounds like an unreleased APC demo, but with a shreddy solo

  • @randybrodzik8412
    @randybrodzik8412 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sounds to me like the tone we all aspire to have.

  • @michaelcarroll1450
    @michaelcarroll1450 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This shares a similar preamplifier to a Naylor and a Budda Superdrive. Apparently Dave Friedman designed the preamp in the pre-peavey Budda Superdrive's then Jeff Bober designed the power amp section. I own a pre-peavey Budda Superdrive 45 and it's my go to. I can't afford a Friedman Naked but the Budda Superdrive 45 and 80 are very similarly voiced.

    Very cool.. from what I've read and understand the budda superdrive series are almost identical with very few tweaks. They come in at a great price point.. I'd love to see u demo one and get ur thoughts on that. From what I gather Dave and Naylor had a hard in developing them

  • @Yupppi
    @Yupppi 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think it's noteworthy to point out that Billy Howerdel's rig had 2x Lexicon MPX G2. The upgraded version of MPX1 that doesn't have processing limitations and surprisingly has a preamp. It's the best budget thing if you wanted that Lexicon PCM tone, the only good thing from Lexicon's later and more affordable units I hear. You can get MPX1 for a price you really shouldn't be able to get that stuff even with the processing limitations. And the ability to tweak parameters, add effects in delay feedback and tweak the processing chain is powerful once you start doing your own presets.
    Are those "H3000" looking units Digitech? I think the units below them might be Digitech or maybe TC from the looks? Interesting how it's kinda one generation later rack that doesn't cost arm and leg, before racks went fully out of fashion.
    Really wanna hear a demo of those PCM42's (and PCM41's) if possible! It's almost impossible to find a demo of the sounds inside those units on youtube, yet everybody and their mother raves about them if they know their old gear. People are almost religious about them. And saw them in the racks of Ratt too, with SPX90's. Been so intrigued by them, what makes them so great, what do they exactly sound like. Kinda curious about Roland SDE-3000 as well, another legendary unit.

    • @BigHairyGuitars
      @BigHairyGuitars  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      YES! It's also worth noting that the G2 is a pretty flakey unit. That's why Billy always had a bunch of them... as replacements for a failed unit. Also, they're miserable to program. I bought one, never could figure it out.

  • @pops71
    @pops71 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    1) The piece you recorded for this video is WTF next level. 2) The Naked amp may well be the best sounding amp ever. Everything you played through it sounded like it had been triple or quadruple tracked. It was three dimensional. 3) Badger Mr Friedman to make that amp again exactly (sonically anyway) like the amp you played. That combo of thickness, distortion and clarity is not supposed to exist. Thanks for another great video.

      @jaykafcas4342 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I can only speak for the older one I had.
      A good master but not mouse fart chamoion volumes.
      I've discovered, no kick ass rock amps like to be told to quiet it down.
      It's like: "No man, F-YOU! I'M GOIN' NAKED"
