Shop the Friedman PLEX 50-watt tube amp head ? https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Friedman_PLEX
Dave Friedman’s unrivaled tube-tone prowess made him the go-to guarantor for superlative sonics, with the likes of Eddie Van Halen and Jerry Cantrell among the Rolodex of riff masters who sought Friedman’s craftsmanship to supercharge their sounds. His namesake company serves guitarists of all creeds across a voltaic array of tube-powered performance, and the PLEX is the latest amp to tap into Friedman’s near-academic amplifier expertise. With EL34 and 12AX7 tubes powering its formidable 50-watt output, the PLEX represents Friedman’s efforts to capture the aural essence of his prized 1968 British tube head. Does the PLEX measure up to the vintage panache of Dave’s number one? Sweetwater put their exarch of overdrive, Nick Bowcott, and purveyor of panache, Don Carr, on the case to find the answer, chatting with Dave Friedman himself to unravel the story of how the PLEX came to be.
