Just bought myself a Runt 20 for $999. I'm in a cover band that plays everything from Elvis to Motley Crue and Def Lep, so I really love its versatility 🤘

That Les Paul Custom is insane. It looks so much like Randy’s. If Gibson didn’t price their VOS or M2M models so much it’d be MINE!

All are great amps. That playing and tone during the first PT segment is just insane. Wow.

Fantastic demo! I have a good understanding of the differences between models. The guitar playing was also very enjoyable.

Always Love your Play Threw Comparisons. Thank You. Going with the JJr Hands Down!!!!

I gotta say kudos to Dave. He really made these amps quite distinguishing from each other. That all do their own thing quite well without being too close to each other. Especially the taco n Shirley. For 2 Marshall type tones, each fantastic representations of the mark and very different sounding.

The Dirty Shirley is still definitely my favorite Friedman out of the range. It's got that Marshall British bark without being overly saturated.

With the BE-OD Pedal .. Soooth ..

Yep lovin me some Friedman tone from all them tonal palettes.All them riffs from your demo is why I love the guitar and players from my era of guitar gods

Love your playing style man. Excellent chops.

Nice sneaking some TOTO in there while playing the Runt!!! Luke is the man!!I love my PT 20 so I’m staying put.. Great video all around👍👍

My favorite was all of them

Just picked up a runt for $800. Great little amp. Loud as he'll and clean tone with a little gain is where I like it. Using it with a 64 Es335 reissue. Really nice!

Think I've only ever seen videos of this guy playing single coils. Really digging him playing humbuckers. Great playing and tones.

Great demo. I have a JJJr head and 1x12 cab & a mini Dirty Shirley 1x10 combo I use in stereo. Nice!

Pink Taco absolutely slays 🤘

I've seen the absolute best products demoed by your store and none of them can match your playing. You look like you couldn't be older than 25 but you sound like you've been a master for at least 25 years. 💪

I like all of these amps. My favorite is The Runt 20

Excelente playing tones and demo, especially playing with guitar volume knob.

Fantastic review! I like the PT and the runt! I was not sure about the runt but you sold it to me!

As always, Jack knocks it outta the park. Kudos, bro'. Runt for me. Not sure why... Maybe the way it compresses? Anyway, really dig that one. Especially clean. Would love to see a demo of the Buxom Betty, both with a Lester and a strat. Cheers

superior playing! They all sound great.

The best demo i've seen of these on youtube. Also great playing!

great demo playing. they all sound amazing. sweet custom paul helps ;) thumbs up. the pink taco really sounded best to me, the shirly seemed friendlier but darker, runt did it all and the jj was too fizzy for me. my amp is a 5150ii and dialing out fizz, but keeping it high gain is a skill.

I studied these amps from one end to the other and I'm glad to say I bought the JJ. It is so fitting for the way I play plus the variety of tones you can get from this amp is amazing. He didn't mention it but there are some small hidden bright switches on it that really bring out the highs. It also includes a pedal for the channel switching on the unit. Pick the one that suits you best, but for around $1,500.00 you can't go wrong.

I’ve got the mini ds and the jj jr. the jj jr is a beast but there is just something special about the mini ds. It may be one of the all time great Amps.

Thats my frickin" amp!!!! Love my pink taco so freakin' much. It is my absolutely favorite amp ever.

YESSSS!!!!! Killer playing as always..

It's Not Love intro by Dokken with the Runt! I think the Runt is the most versatile of the bunch. The Pink Taco has an impressive high gain sound but after a while you need some more versatility.

Great playing young man. lol I have the PT and love it. DS is really tempting.

Great comparison. My take away: Runt 20 most versatile jack of all trades master of none; Pink Taco optimized for that classic Marshall plexi sound but maybe better; Dirty Shirley if you want a led zeppelin, or classic lower gain sound; and the JJ for that high gain, metal. Each would do any. Great video and comparrisons.

Finally someone did this

Great demo.

sweet playing! damn

Love the Shirley...wish it had the clean setting of the JJ...stellar!

Dude, those mid range high gain chords are ABSOLUTELY SICK .. such a unique snarly sound

I love the high gain tone of the pink taco. It really sounds like the rock and metal of the late 70s,80,and 90s. Just wish it had a clean channel as well.

Biggest difference I noticed was they all had different names, and some had more gold than black. Otherwise, they all sounded flipping amazing.

Great shootout!

Well the runt is a close contender with the dirty shirley. Amazing for a price that is still reasonable. There are all great sounding. No winner here they all have their sound. It's up to the player and personal taste...

clarity taco, job done, pedals in loop

I like the new JJ Jr. Friedman amp.

I was really impressed with the pink taco. But this boy is playing is phenomenal! He could probably make a pig nose on its last leg sound good underwater.

Fantastic playing and demoing of these amps capabilities. You make it hard to choose! What cabinet are you playing them in?

Fantastic demo Thought I wanted a DS but was really impressed with the Runt Very cool What kind of out board gear do you use when recordings

JJ all the way. It looks like it might be very versatile. Just ordered one.

The Friedman is def my favorite of the bunch. Can get super heavy or can do the classic rock and 90s rock Marshall tones really well. Only probably now is that I want more Friedmans

Amazing comparison, you can clearly hear the differences in eq, vocing, gain when you have the same box, mic placement etc... Taco wins it for me..

Digging the mini. Little more practical volume wise yet plenty loud for a gig

Great series. Victory Amps would be a killer group to do as well!

The JJ is Killer it has a classic rock gain setting

They all sound pretty good on the cleaner channels. Could have just been what you played, but I thought the Runt did a nice job of mildly breaking up as you dug in from its chimey cleans. The gain sounds were nice too I guess, but without a band, they don't do much for me.

Great tones, great playing!

I was debating if I should sell my Pink Taco and get the JJ Jr, but now I know my Pink Taco sounds better to my ears!

this video makes all the Fortin amps look and sound way better lol I prefer the BE-OD pedal with a Fortin head

I think Friedman has the best 20 watt amps and wish the new Marshall’s were better. I like the overdrive tone of the PT but the clean channel of the Runt. For me I think the JJ sounds over saturated, maybe the tone is different with less gain? Can you get that PT/jcm800ish tone from the Runt?

Based on another review video, I was 100% certain I wanted the JJ. However, in this video it sounded buzzy. Now I'm leaning towards the PT-20 based on how it sounded here, but I'm not sure. Was really liking the versatility of the JJ so I'm feeling torn now.

@steverherb

Was in the same boat. I was sure I'd love the PT-20, but decided that 2 channels would be better for gigging and pedals so I pulled the trigger on a JJ- Jr. I think the BE mode gets me close enough to PT-20 sound so I'm pretty happy

What speakers were in the cab? I'm interested in getting the runt from you guys but in some vids it's very bright. In this one it sounds better though

Does anybody know the name of that first song he played on the Pink Taco? (From around the 5min mark) Wanna learn that!

This les paul is a dream

What is that starting at 5:00? I loved it.
