I studied these amps from one end to the other and I'm glad to say I bought the JJ. It is so fitting for the way I play plus the variety of tones you can get from this amp is amazing. He didn't mention it but there are some small hidden bright switches on it that really bring out the highs. It also includes a pedal for the channel switching on the unit. Pick the one that suits you best, but for around $1,500.00 you can't go wrong.

My take away: Runt 20 most versatile jack of all trades master of none; Pink Taco optimized for that classic Marshall plexi sound but maybe better; Dirty Shirley if you want a led zeppelin, or classic lower gain sound; and the JJ for that high gain, metal. Each would do any. Great video and comparrisons.

One thing I must say...those amps are set WAY LOUD. No way that is a true "room sound". Not that any Friedman doesn't sound great at low volumes but...crank them up and they are otherworldly! The tones you are hearing in this video are sent through a direct signal chain of some sort...have to be. Amps that cranked would be feeding back all over the place! Correct me if I'm mistaken...still, a GREAT video and INCREDIBLE playing too! Friedmans are TOPS in my book. Period.
@alonsomiranda2598
