Friedman Steve Stevens SS-100 amplifier

[Emerald]

Finally Steve's own demo, using a Boss EQ and a BAE pre-amp I think. Lollar and BK pickups in the Les Paul.

Pretty cool! Steve is a damn good player and Dave Friedman knows how to make an amp! Thanks for the link

Who knew Friedman could do a killer clean?!?

Of course we are hearing it in what sounds like a stereo wet/dry/wet mix still, but it sounds fantastic. I wish I could afford one.

I also want one of those Lollar neck pickups he's using. Holy crap did it sound great. At first I was thinking "How is he getting that sound out of a Les Paul?"

Lot more effects going on than what he says I grant you that.
Not sure on the Lollar model he has(sounds good) but their vintage singles sound really tinny.More like canned ass.
The amp does sound good.

Effects or not, a Friedman amp IS going to sound good! I have a Brown Eye 100 and it kicks ass!

Correction from Steve on pickups and speakers used"
SteveStevens wrote:Hey Guys,
My mistake, the neck pickup is a Fralin P92, not Lollar. The bridge pickup is a Bareknuckles Rebel Yell. Thanks to Mark & Dave for doing the video. I tried to keep it very very basic. Straight up, no eq or compression etc. The cab is a Mojo 2X12 mini slant....this guy.

It's actually loaded with Weber speakers. Here's the specs. They are rated at 100w each which is really nice in a 2X12. I wanted Celestion creambacks, but they were not available at the time i got the cabinet.
Specs are
Ceramic Silver Bell British Series 12 inch Speaker
* Cone Style - Paper
* Dope - Pre-Rola Add $ 10.00
* Impedance - 8 Ohms
* Power - 100 watts

Cool video.

The simple clean channel on the BE-100 I just picked up is killer playing straight through, with no effect.

Cool video. Interesting amp, but I think I am covering this territory already with the MTS stuff I have. Didn't Friedman design some of the modules?

[MikeStrat]

Cool. I've been waiting to hear this amp. I'm a big SS fan. There is definitely a delay in that sound.

:think: Soooooooo..... does SS stand for solid state? :think:

Thanks for the update on the pickup Emerald. I am likely ordering one for my RR1T. I love the Jazz I put in it, but the P92 has me very intrigued. Plus the Jazz whistles like crazy at high gain. I know it's a cover resonance issue and is fixable, but that Fralin will let me keep my Strat on the stand 90% of the time.
