The Friedman Plex 50 Watt Amplifier Head is a verbatim sonic-twin of Daves all-time favorite amplifier that special 68 JMP. Sparing no expense in time and effort, Dave took great care in defining and utilizing the best modern construction techniques, sourcing the exact parts and finding the perfect tubes to reproduce this amps character. The Friedman PLEX is, in Daves own words my favorite.
The PLEX is the first model in the Friedman Vintage Collection a series of unique amp designs based on the classic amplifiers that influenced and shaped Daves Friedman tonal signature. The Vintage Collection captures the sonic nostalgia and authenticity of yesteryear, while infusing decades of Daves knowledge into each design.
A modern twist on the PLEXs vintage heritage is Dave Friedmans master volume control. As the Normal and Lead channels gain increases, so does their volume. Daves innovative approach lets you bring the amp back to manageable levels, without sacrificing the tone or dynamic feel, he worked so hard to replicate. This unique post-phase master volume design ensured that, whether youre unleashing the PLEXs full power, or dialing it down for quieter settings, the amps inherent character and tonal richness remains intact.
The Friedman PLEX features internal channel jumpering, replicating the external blending technique used with vintage Plexi amplifiers. This feature lets you easily blend the Lead and Normal channels to perfection with the turn of a control knob. Its a seamless and convenient sound-shaping method that pays homage to the amps history.
The PLEX is a 50-watt, 2-channel, EL34-driven design that meticulously captures the genuine Plexi tone and feel of Daves revered 1968 JMP Super Lead. Distinct Lead and Normal channels, each equipped with their own Volume controls, replicate the non-master volume performance of its predecessor perfectly. The harder you push these channels, the more the amp responds with increased saturation, harmonic richness and sustained brilliance.
