Riffs were sick, amp was sick, commentary was sick. Thanks Ola🤘

I've had this amp for about 2 years now. Paired with a Friedman Vertical 212, replaced one of the Vintage 30's with a Greenback. Til death do us part

I have the same stack…how big is the difference with the greenback? Also did you replace the top of bottom speaker?

The combo version of this is my daily driver and it covers a lot of ground for work. Mostly with an 80's band, but handles all my sub work across numerous genres. The clean channel is a gem, too!

the reason why i love ola his skill on mic the amp is so good the sound of that chugging is clear dude, man i love this guy

I really look to your videos for gear advice and sounds. Thank you Ola.

Thanks for that video, I’m a big fan of Jerry and AiC ❤ Great playing!

Awesome amp! Always nice to see that your tweaking these heavy tones man. I would also be very curious if you could do a review of the Mesa Boogie mark V25. I know that you did a demo of the amp a couple of years back, but it would be amusing to see it in action, through a will it chug or a review with commentary. KEEP UP THE GOOD STUFF!!

Ola Ola from New England..Some of those tones are straight off of the DIRT album... I never considered AIC grunge bc they were always way more doomy and metal.. Fun fact: Jerry got those nasty tones on that album bc Eddie Van Halen, at the end of the 6 months opening slot AIC did at the end of the FACELIFT cycle, gifted Jerry Two full Evh stacks a Friedman and 2 custom Evh guitars...Sorry for the rant lol..🤘✌️

Not entirely. It's well documented by a post from the engineer who helped record these records on Gearsluts from back in the day that Dirt and Facelift had complex recording chains. Apparently, three separate amps were used during recording on each track, one for low end, one for high end and one for mid push. Cantrell's main amp at the time of recording that saw action on every track (double and sometimes triple tracked) on both Facelift and Dirt was a JCM 800 that had been modified by Reinhold Bogner of Bogner amplification. There was also a Rockman preamp in there somewhere. Friedman didn't really get going as a manufacturer until a tad bit later on in 1994 or so, though he was working with Egnator as his circuit mentor during the AIC early days.

Ola’s hair be looking extra majestic today 🤔 killer amp!! I want one! 🤘🏽

One of my ATF amps! I typically HATE EL84s but this amp actually uses them well. It does sound virtually identical to the JJ-100. It’s a rock amp, but gets surprisingly heavy! The distortion tone is one of my favorite sounds on earth. It definitely favors passive pickups and tunings above C. Using a Duncan JB range pickup from whatever brand, it is instant AIC/Cantrell tone. Highly recommend using Jerry’s settings too.

I love a modeled Friedman so I guess the cab / ir has a huge effect on the tone.

The JBE mode is diode clipping which makes it quieter. Diode clipping and low watt amps aren't ideal for playing with a band unless mic'd up. This is a great sounding option though, if that isn't what you plan to do with it.

Good amp playing alone, really delicate to be Heard in the mix with sat/JBE mode on these amps... So scooped it's good alone in studio or room playing The standard BE Channel is good boosted but a little ear percing to be Heard face to a 5150 style amp that's full of low mids

Love that Lords Resistance Army riff

Why does almost no amp manufacturer do what Laney already does for years...A raw, unprocessed signal out for silent recording. That was the feature that let me buy my IRT-Studio amp and still use that feature A LOT. Nevertheless that Friedman is a great sounding amp🤘🤘

With the tube screamer it sounds INSANE

@kevinainscough6839

8 ай бұрын

Yes! The tube screamer really brought it to the metal I'm talking about brother

I love this amp, but I personally feel it sounds better and more aggressive when the presence is higher... but perhaps the presence is lowered here for the lower tuning. I feel like the JJ Jr. is a somewhat polarizing amp, because it's not quite tight and scooped enough for some of the metal crowd, but it's a bit too compressed and sludgy for some of the classic/alternative rock people. It falls in a strange middle ground, but that's generally Jerry's tone, which is neither "metal" nor "classic rock", so it makes sense the amp is voiced the way it is. What I love about the amp is it's particular high gain saturation while still having great string definition. I tend to agree with the EL84 comments, and I think Dave Friedman said it sounds identical to the larger JJ at lower volumes, but can't keep when it gets to a certain louder volume... I'm sure that's the result of the EL84s, as the pre amp sections of the 2 amps sound a lot closer. Like you said, if it's mic'd it shouldn't be an issue with a live band. It would have been interesting to see Dave make a 20W JJ with EL34s, but for some reason he's been very hesitant about doing that with the 20W amps. Marshall did that, but I don't know why Friedman won't... then again, I'm not an amp builder, so what do I know. Regardless, it's still one of my favorite amps around today.

Playing all of dirt and facelift through these dialed settings would sound so sick.

Hey Ola keep cranking. You gotta put it on the Chug meter for sure ha

I caught that treble gag. Laughed out loud after cringing in auditory pain.

Love my Jr. Doubt I’ll ever sell it. I do wish it had a resonance/thump mod though.

Awesome tone. I preferred the un-overdriven (is that a thing?) distorted sound with the passive pickups.

i think it will sound just fine with the chug pedal in the FX Loop

Nice!

Aaaaayyyyyyyyy ooooolllllaaaaa. Rock on bud.

That amp sounds pretty good . Might do good for some stoner metal too.

9:54 - Sounds much better with the "Tube Screamer" overdrive pedal added to it. The natural distortion sounds great ...but that tube screamer brings it home.

@12breacher82

Жыл бұрын

If you dime the gain and bass, pull the mids and treble back a bit and keep the presence up the thing gets really gnarly. In higher tunings it stays tight but when I plug in a 7 it needs a OD. The speaker and cabs make a massive difference; for me this amp works best with V30/Greenback combos and G12H-75s. It’s not a metal amp at all but you can get it there with the right OD push and cab.

YEAH

Classic.. Nice dirty sound of Cantrell, He is an inspiration for my guitar sound 7:31 right now its more like the white horse in the nothing mudswamp from neverendingstory.. 11:11 i like that dry tight sound but there is not so much change with the tube screamer 12:22 lets talk about business, i have some new ideas for the tshirts, i'll post them on ig and tag you

Good Morning Ola

Jerry has the best live guitar tone, period.

His regular size amp is godly

Nice demo ... The only amp you need is a MK-4 MB

"More treble is not always good but ya know...sometimes" I see or rather heard...what ya done there ; )

Did you find the noise floor of the dirty channel to be higher than other high gain amps of similar price range? I recently bought one and use it on the clean channel with distortion pedals because to me I get better tones and a lower noise floor with that setup. I was kind of disappointed by this.

Hey Ola, what's that string muter you have past the nut? Looks like a Jimmy Clip, but it has Solar written onto it. Custom engraving JimmyClip or custom Solar implement? If it's Solar then I hope it's a product that can be sold to the public!

What speaker is mic’d?

Tengo unos 6 meses con este amp el mejor que yo haya probado en especial su articulación.vengo de un 5150 peavey,mesa mark,y un fender blues deluxe.por más que quise comprar otro mesa el markv 35 no le llega a jj jr

Hey, Ola.. "Please Respong"! If the Duncan Solar pickups are based (I think) off of a Custom 5/59 set, does that mean the "Solar +" is just a Custom 5 with an Alnico 8, or is it something else? (p.s. Type-X... 25.5", 24 frets, Floyd Rose... Left Handed availability!!!)

Odd. Mine isn’t anywhere near as trebly/bright as this. Just the opposite. Too dark regardless of the cab or speakers used. Is that thing truly stock? ‘the fkuk.
