​Dave Friedman, renowned for his expertise in amplifier design, has introduced the Friedman José Arredondo Tribute Amplifier

JOSE ARREDONDO TRIBUTE AMP - ONE CHANNEL 100 WATT - EL34 TUBES - SERIES FX LOOP

This is a tribute to the legendary amp modder José Arredondo. This 100-watt, single-channel amplifier encapsulates the essence of Arredondo's iconic high-gain modifications that were favored by guitarists like Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, and James Hetfield. ​

More details to follow.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Modifications : The amplifier integrates several of Arredondo's renowned mods, allowing users to select various gain styles through accessible switches. ​
• Dual Presence Controls : It features two distinct presence knobs: one traditional and another that functions similarly to a negative feedback control, offering enhanced tonal shaping. ​
• Dual Master Volumes : Equipped with two master volume controls, the amp provides flexibility in managing output levels. ​
• Authentic Design : While it doesn't bear the Marshall name, the amplifier showcases José Arredondo's signature and likeness, honoring his legacy. ​

Developed with the blessing and involvement of Arredondo's family, particularly his daughter Marisol, this amplifier aims to faithfully recreate the legendary tones pioneered by Arredondo. Dave Friedman has emphasized a hands-on approach to ensure each unit meets exacting standards. ​Production is expected to be limited, with pricing estimated around £4,000, which is considerably less than the £15,000–£25,000 typically commanded by original Arredondo-modified Marshalls.
