I dunno man, that Friedman sounds way better than any Orange I've ever played.

Re: Jerry Cantrell Signature Friedman amp (finally!)
I was messing around the other day trying to get some super thick, warm Cantrell-esque tones.
having a little 18W EL84 amp and a 2x12 is obviously not ideally suited to the task. But I managed to get some thick warm beefiness after a good amount of tweaking my amp's EQ and my OCD. Wasn't great mind you, the voicing on the amp is just too middy/trebley to get that growling wall of monsters sound that Cantrell gets live.
But now I'm gassing hard for a Bogner. And I so cannot afford one. lol

Re: Jerry Cantrell Signature Friedman amp (finally!)
I dunno which bogner I'd like. Probs the XTC or Uberschall.
All I know is, Cantrell's HUMONGOUSLY thick, beautifully lush 3-dimensional sound from when I saw them a few years back with Mastadon and Deftones... that sound is permanently etched into my brain. Pretty much the most gargantuan sound I've ever heard come from a single guitarist.
Unfortunately, the massive low-mid growl from a SLO and the entire family of SLO-based amps (Hot Rods, Avengers, Jet City's, 6505s) is also permanently etched in there.
I think I might need to save up for some sort of low watt SLO or a clone.

I saw the BDS tour too and I agree, Cantrell's live tone at that show was monstrous. If I could get that tone I would in an instant.

You need to get out more often.
Just KIDDING! :lmao:
But really: it's just an amplifier. You still have to put in a few thousand hours of practice to get good enough to be able to sound like you know what you're doing through an amp like that.
Jerry'd probably sound just like Jerry through your amp.
So would Eddie.

So... Who's going to buck up and buy one of these?

Used to have a 100H which I did a depth mod to. It was fantastic, but I had to downsize for practicality's sake. I have no use nor space for that kind of monstrous power. I miss that amp dearly. It was so good to me.

Thanks... But it's not a paintjob... Each color is hand-cut tolex and placed. Only 50 were made.

Re: Jerry Cantrell Signature Friedman amp (finally!)
nope, same size. and also almost the same raw power too. My next amp is probably gonna be 25-30 watts for headroom's sake, but right now I barely even get to turn up my little 18 watter, and it's still plenty loud enough for jamming with a band so I'm not too concerned.

I dunno.. If I had the cash.. Ive been trying to figure what Id buy. I used to think my dream amp was an SLO, but found they werent exactly what I thought and usually need to be cranked. Last few years its been a Bogner xtc or Freidman brown eye or one of these.
