Re: Remember that Dave Friedman amp I was raving over a month or two ago?
i have been gassing for one of those for a few months now. maybe one day either that or i will track down one of the 1987x reissues and send it to him to do those mods. i saw in a thread on tgp that jerry cantrell has replaced his bogner with another one and is running 2 marsha's now. there is a pics of his new rig and there looks like 4 marsha's.

Very tight and focused- its kind of a mix between a 2203 and a Super bass tonally, but without the marshall sparkle..which unfortunately seems to be lost in many of the boutique clones as they try to gain them out and tighten them up.
Still- VERY cool amp- I dig.

Yeah I was talking to a guy at the local GC the other day who's an amp nut like I've never seen... cool guy though. He suggested talking to Dave and asking if I could get a JMP converted to a Naked. He's had Dave do some work for him before and says it's probably doable and his prices for mods are reasonable.
Dunno if I'll go that route... if anything I'd sell my Ecstasy and get a Naked. That probaly won't happen for a few years though.
Yeah this amp was pretty tight and focused, but mainly in the feel and the response of it. In person it sounds much more open and percussive like an old hopped-up Marshall does. I thought that was so neat - compressed feel but not sound - usually it's the other way around.
I've never quite dug that Marshall sparkle - it's always come off as brightness to me. On average I like a darker, smoother, heavier amp and that's what this is. There's still plenty of cut in the sound, though.

I'd like to add to my previous statement by saying that the Marsha has a lot of that sparkle you refer to in it. till a badass amp, just more traditional sounding.

I can sympathize with that... hard to really judge a boutique amp through crappy youtube audio.
Good stuff... what mods did he do on it?

I dig the nekkid because it is a different tone to come out of a marshall-style topology. How many amps have that sparkle? Usually amps with that type of tone come in a split channel, dual EQ, bells-n-whistles type package. This is a straight up amp. 2 tones with shared eq... I dig it.
