Friedman Friedman PLEX 50 Watt Head

Presenting the all new Friedman PLEX Head. The first model in the new Friedman Vintage Collection, the PLEX is a “verbatim sonic-twin” of Dave Friedman's all-time favorite amplifier – that special ‘68 JMP from the UK. 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 amp’s character. The Friedman PLEX is, in Dave’s own words “my favorite”. FRIEDMAN VINTAGE COLLECTION: A series of unique amp designs based on the classic amplifiers that influenced and shaped Dave’s Friedman tonal signature. The Vintage Collection captures the sonic nostalgia and authenticity of yesteryear, while infusing decades of Dave’s knowledge into each design. INTERNAL CHANNEL JUMPERING: 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. It’s a seamless and convenient sound-shaping method that pays homage to the amp’s history. FRIEDMAN POST-PHASE MASTER VOLUME CONTROL: A modern twist on the PLEX’s vintage heritage is Dave Friedman’s master volume control. As the Normal and Lead channels’ gain increases, so does their volume. Dave’s 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 you’re unleashing the PLEX’s full power, or dialing it down for quieter settings, the amp’s inherent character and tonal richness remains intact. AUTHENTIC PLEXI TONE: The PLEX is a 50-watt, 2-channel, EL34-driven design that meticulously captures the genuine Plexi tone and feel of Dave’s 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. 50-Watt All-Tube Head Inspired by Dave Friedman’s favorite ‘68 JMP Super Lead Plexi Channel 1 Volume (Lead spec channel) Channel 2 Volume (Normal spec channel) Internal Channel Jumpering Post-Phase Master Volume Control 3-Way Bright Switch Per Channel Bass, Middle, Treble, And Global Presence 2 X EL34 Power Tubes 3 X 12AX7 Preamp Tubes 4, 8, And 16-Ohm Impedance Jacks Custom, USA-Made Transformers Limited Lifetime Warranty Dimensions: 8.75” (D) X 24” (W) X 10” (H) Weight: 33.5 Lbs.
