Frequently Asked Questions
Friedman’s modifications to the JTM45 circuit add more gain stages and refinements for a wider tonal palette, while retaining the core British character.
The channels are designed to be identical in their core tone, but the gain switch offers a significant boost on each, allowing for distinct clean and overdrive sounds.
A Celestion Vintage 30 or Greenback would complement the amp's character beautifully, providing a classic British rock tone.
