Dave Friedman Kitchen Sink modded Marshall profiles up!

What I'm digging the most about these is how crazy gain saturated they get, but clean up well too. The clip on the page above was with the gain at 7 on the HBE channel. In some ways I like the way the dirty channel cleaned up at the beginning of the clip better than many 'all the time' clean amps. It's incredibly dynamic and if you're a marshall guy, you'll dig them.

And yes, I'll be doing more clips later. There's quite a bit of gain in this amp too, I'll do something heavier later. I just fell in love with the dynamics.

haaa.. here probably ends my search for high gain profiles

I like very much the fact that there are 6 different mics used.. it´s very interesting to observe how dramatically changes the sound only because of another mic used (maybe placement also - but there is no info if the placement of mics chnages too).. at the moment I do not like very much Sennheiser e609 Silver profiles.. they sound very dark and how can I say muddy? Audio technica 4030 maybe too bright.. but the rest I like very much, super!! for 10 bucks it´s really gret purchase, thanks to okstrat

ps: HBE 02 Rbn is killer!

Thanks! Here's the thing - I tried to get a wide variety of tones even within each amp setting, so if you layered guitars or if you even used a brighter or darker sounding guitar, you could probably just dial in a rig that worked. Totally agree on the AT being bright and the e609 being dark, but depending on the guitar used or if you wanted to do several guitar tracks, they may still be useful.

My go to Friedman profiles at a gig last night were mainly PR20 and SM57 miked profiles, they just fit well with the guitars I was using. What's really cool about the Friedman amp and profiles in my opinion is that they can be very saturated, but amazingly articulate and clear and not 'solid state tight' at all - Dave has a way of modding a marshall that just sounds really great.

Coming soon: Friedman BE profiles, same setup, but the BE channel with combinations of C45 mod, fat and the saturation switch, something that I thought was total overkill with the HBE. It's a nice variation for sure.

Cool Pete! Sounds thick which I really like. I will definitely try these out.

Hallan · Feb 16th 2014

Pete! can you also use RODE NT2A mic for making your profiles? please!

meambobbo · Feb 17th 2014

I listened to the clip a couple hours ago and was like "why is he demo'ing it clean channel if it's the Hairy Brown E.... oh, there's the gain...holy @#$#" and then the shred!!!!!!

You're a killer when it comes to these sounds, Pete. The EVH pack dances all around this tone with the Splawn, but I think this one has gotta be even better. I think I only have two HBE profiles, and neither are killer. So I'll be grabbing this one I think. But I try to limit myself. Just got Andy's ENGLs and then Hell-G dumped 30 Fireballs on the exchange.

I'm very interested to hear what you capture .. Not every Friedman amp I have had the pleasure to play has been jaw dropping. HOWEVER, the individual amps of his I have liked, I have LOVED and wanted to play the all damn day..
The right BE in C45 mode has caught my ear as being, when paired with the right cab, darned hard for me to fault Naturally, there are many variables as we all know.

Some of Dave's HBE amps can be set a bit too bright for me. A bit too much "Eddie-ness" for my taste. Then again, a bit of that in the right context is the difference between slotted right depending on the mix and other instrumentation and overall soundstage left for the guitar.

I appreciate the time you are taking with the Friedman you have. I purchased it and look forward to the further profiles and settings.

The Dirty Shirley is my favorite crunch tone amp which
usally fits a track like a glove.

Additional Friedman profiles will be welcomed. Thanks!!

Bought!
Very good Marshall Profiles. They react very sensitive to the volume pot. From crisp crunch to saturated lead. Everything in your hands! Change the cab - here comes the sun!
Looking forward to some more profiles from this or this kind of amp. Maybe with another cab? Greenbacks 25 maybe?!
Great job!

Brattcave · Feb 17th 2014

Bought as well!

Yep these are quality and as mentioned they clean up really nicely as well...

Cheers - appreciate your work on these.

Glad you guys are digging them, it's a cool amp for sure. Going to finish up the BE profiles first, then may look at a different cab or two. I've the two 72 cabs, a 76 blackback cab, a greenback custom 4x12, a 4x12 with EVH speakers, a JCM800 75 watter, a newer V30 Marshall, mesa dual recto armor, mesa mark series half back 4x12 w/black shadows, and some 2x12s, etc.

Chance16v · Feb 18th 2014

if you have a 4x12 bogner, try it, it will kill!!!

I do, the '72 cabs sound the best to me but hey, we'll see what I get.

An awesome wife! Here's what she bought me for my music room this weekend... a neon Corona beer sign to hang above my Marshall fridge

Played the Friedman and i must say, this is my go-to Marshall Sound next to a Plexi and a JCM2000. But i had to change the cab to a G12H30.

meambobbo · Feb 18th 2014

Oh yeah, it's ME who has the annoyed wife

Hallan · Feb 18th 2014

Pete, once more time my question: would it be possible to make these profiles with RODE NT2A mic?

janus · Feb 19th 2014

There are about five different mics in the actual pack. For my taste these are enough mics.

Troy_e · Feb 20th 2014

Bought these today, great sounding for a lot of styles!
