Blues City Music has recently added Friedman Amplification to its line of guitar amplifiers. We will add the flagship BE-100 head and Small Box head as our initial order.
Friedman Amplification was founded by legendary amp builder and owner of Rack Systems Ltd., Dave Friedman. His work over 25 years includes signature models with Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Steve Stevens of Billy Idol, and Phil X, seasoned touring guitarist and session player.
All of Dave's amps are voiced for the individual player so whether you pick a full size head and 4x12" cabinet or a 1x12" combo, you will get the tone you want for the venue you play.
Friedman Amplifiers use EL34's and 12AX7's as it's choice of vacuum tubes. All amps are hand built in their North Hollywood, California shop and come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY for the original purchaser.
For speaker choice, Dave opted for Celestion G12M 25 watt Greenbacks for the top two speakers in a 4x12" cabinet and Celestion VIntage 30's in the bottom two positions. The 1x12" combo amps utilize the new Celestion Creamback which is a higher rated wattage Greenback style speaker.
From clean to gain, Friedman has what you want in a hand built guitar amplifier and Blues City Music is the place to get it. Even if what you see isn't in stock, we can get ANY AMP within 10 days. How's that for service?
Blues City Music is proud to announce that we have uploaded a killer new 1920 x 1080 HD guitar amplifier video of the Diamond Amplification 327SD. You can find it on either the Diamond or Soldano amp collections here, the Blues City Music Face Book page, or on the Blues City Music You Tube channel.
We recorded this clip via a Yamaha 2 channel mixer with Darlington mic preamps, a Shure SM57 instrument mic mounted off center off axis into a Diamond Amplification 4x12" straight front cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30's in 8 ohms, and a Canon 5D Mark III full frame DSLR camera at 24 frames per second in Manual, F8 aperture, 1/50 shutter speed, and ISO of 800. NO STUDIO TRICKS at all. The video was edited with the latest version of iTunes 10 using an iMac with 10.10.2 Yosemite operating system.
Enjoy. This amplifier is available now, with predicted shipping of 30 April 2015. Give us a shout for any more details or check it out here on the Diamond or Soldano amplifier pages.
Keep rockin'... and thanks to Sam Austin, Diamond manager for playing these killer riffs for the video.
