The Making of Less We Know | The Totemist
It sound boomy , there is too much bass. I don't like the sound
so versatile love it !
Like most of us gear junkies, I’ve listened to a zillion vids of Amos and whatnot. All subjective of course but this is the best sound I can recall hearing on UA-cam. Wasn’t planning on getting this but have to go after it after hearing this.
Pressed like button from the intro jam... Damn man, you rule! Oh the amp is nice too :P
So, with the post master is this amp like a jcm 800?
Hi Man! Please tell us how you mixed this masterpiece: "Archetype Petrucci | A Tribute to JP" The sound is absolutely insane, great job!
What a sexy Les Paul xd
I just found out about your music via the Music Man signature ads, and I went and listened to a few of your songs. Really great stuff. I don’t listen to as much heavy music as much as I used to, but this stuff is so melodic and musical, very chill. Subscribed!
Crystal clear sound! Hey dude, please tell us how organized grounding in your studios. You always have a very clean sound with no interference. And new tours of your studios would be nice to see too! Thanks in advance!!! And maybe someone else knows whether a DI Box (passive or active) for example Radial J48 or other, can help reduce noise & interference? Thank you in advance!!!
I'm sure there are many great tones to be had. I don't think it's for me. I own a BE-100. I'm good
Great test, for a great amp. We need part 2 with strat, super strat and modern axe 🤘
Oh, my word.
the idea is to blend the channels and create the eq that way, one bright and one dark channel. Surprised you didn't try this, but otherwise excellent tones!
Marshall should have registered copyright over there cabinet image..this is a blatant copy...lol
I never jumpered the channels...caused the amp to sound muddy and lacking definition
Damned- just when I thought I had made up my mind to go with the new Lion 68- I find the Dream. I have an MX5 already, and tbh it does a decent Marshal thing- but it misses the black faced fender thing pretty badly. The Dream nails it though- and with that Dumble style mod- it sounds great. Idk though- the Lion has some pretty good clean tones in it as well- and it does the whole Hendrix thing. That said- I suck at the Hendrix thing so... hmmm, I don't know, this will require another day or two of mulling over in my head, I think. The truth is that my style probably fits the Marshal better- but I'm trying to change that.
SICK!!!
Doesn't sound good
Please captor this beast
“It’d b rude not to use a Les Paul.” I would hug him if I could. The kids are gonna be alright.
How much Latency occurs when using an expression pedal with MIDI?
What year custom is that .. I see that smoked out binding that’s just lovely ..
I want to shave this guys head.
so that's what that instrument button is for...
i wish i could afford a friedman lol
You make people watch a commercial to watch a commercial?
Gjika is better
Germino better
Fantastic demo.
Sounds like a Bugera
Josh Homme / Try V. Leeuwen and Jack White are the only players I've ever heard use octave pedals artistically. Not talking about the Whammy
thanks for the great demo and all the work u put into it. my question is, im hearing a delay effect and a processed tone. but u dont have an effect listed. what effects are u using in this demo?
Damn that sounds good!
Must I turn to a life of crime to fund my GAS? What a sound!
Bro great demo of this amp! But honestly bro you could plug into a cardboard box and make that sound badass!
Perfect for those Darkness riffs!
Sounds like OD2 on JVM410h...Green Mode!
This sounds more Jake E Lee than Jakes amp!
I think this might actually be the best sounding amp of all time.
Alta fiesta 🇦🇷🔥
Aren't all Friedman amps based on some old Marshall, all of which post jtm sound terrible and exactly the same kind of terrible, like a crate blue voodoo for 10x the price.
Maybe you didn't choose to be poor, but you can choose to not be salty.
My wallet didn't need this. 🙃
My wallet didn't need this. 🙃
That is one absolutely killer amp.
wow the latest product! buy buy buy shop shop shop
Or don’t, and just listen to the epic tones 🤷♂️
Nice guitar too!
Sounds great. The lack of effects loop writes this off as a gigging amp for me. As a studio tool, you could have two original (used) plexis for that price, or reissues. With a pedal or two there’s nothing here the Smallbox can’t do with the advantage of footswitchable channels and effects loop
I agree on the FX loop. For me I need an FX loop for live and generally for the tones I like to get with FX. BUT, this amp sounds insane in the room, it’s a real experience. Also the thing with the design of a plexi amp means you just couldn’t put an FX loop in it and achieve the sound this amp inherently has. Due to the vintage design topology of the Plex, the distortion is mainly from the phase inverter which is part of the poweramp. FX loop would be before the poweramp and so for before the distortion… would be useless in a sense, would be the same as sticking FX before the amplifier, which was done back in the day.
Undeniably an amazing sound! I’m just a sucker for the Smallbox. The PLEX is covering ground between the Smallbox and an original plexi, which for me is a very, very small gap. Great job with this vid, the best mic’d sounds on UA-cam as always!
Wet/dry maybe using a Suhr iso line out (or the like?). I know means another cab and another amp (solid state/light weight?)…..or maybe just a smallbox 😂
Sound on that Les Paul.
This is really nice! ❤
