Frequently Asked Questions
It shares a similar high-gain character but the Friedman has a more refined, modern low-end and a slightly smoother high-end response.
Absolutely, it’s plenty loud for most club and smaller venue situations, especially with a good sound engineer.
While versatile, it really sings with hotter, vintage-voiced humbuckers or overwound single-coils to maximize the gain range.
