Friedman Phil X run thru

It SATISFIED!!!! Pardon some of the 'dodgy wanker' playing :)

[@notreallysure9]

I see you made this 3 years ago... do you still have it or did you end up preferring the BE/Soldano etc?

[@cragginshred]

That amp was 15 amps ago LOL! Super dark, one trick pony.

[@brownsfan7753]

Sounds fantastic! How do you like the Friedman cab compared to the EVH cab?

[@cragginshred]

Thanks! For this head the Friedman cab with V30's in the bottom and Greenbacks on top were way better! Allowed the mids to cut more!

How is the “feel” on the X? I’m considering one of these. Coming from an EL34 Bogner Shiva, which “fights” me too much with leads.

[@cragginshred]

Feels great until you try a Soldano which is 10x more articulate and detailed in the mids and gain structure. Going back to the X I was like 'Wow that's dark, where did all those tones go'?

[@nicholastotoro7721]

@@cragginshred When you say "boosted" in the video, are you talking about the X's volume boost or were you hitting it with a pedal at all?

[@techdeathhippie6319]

Do you know the sound difference between this and the brown eye amp

[@spellgrinder666]

Great tones and insights. I’ve been trying to chose between the amps you mentioned and Phil X is the way to go. I’ll take the $3k I’ll save from not getting the Jake E Lee and get myself some guitar lessons.

[@cragginshred]

Both very dark, too many other great options.

[@spellgrinder666]

I picked one up three days ago. It’s awesome. My other main amp is a Wizard W800. They cover all my hard rock and metal bases. Thanks for the video.

[@cragginshred]

@@spellgrinder666 if you ever wanna sell the Wizard let me know!

[@brycewayt]

@@cragginshred I'm in your debt my man, so if I ever lose my mind and decide to sell it, you get first dibs. Thanks!!

[@scottpeters4401]

How would you describe the Phil X,JCM800ish??Trying to decide between this and the BE...

[@cragginshred]

Dark like all the Friedmans, more open than the BE but needs more mids. To me, by taming the harsh Marshall mids, the Friedmans lose a lot of sweet frequencies that cut in the mix and allow harmonic content

[@karltaylorguitar]

Sounds immense - had a lot of fun on one of these last year in store, regret passing on it...

[@cragginshred]

Sold it for the SLO 100, zero regrets.

[@karltaylorguitar]

cragginshred Really? I don’t blame you for getting the Soldano but you didn’t like the Phil X in the end?!

[@cragginshred]

@@karltaylorguitar I liked it when I had it, when you get in the room with a Slo 100 your world truly changes!

[@karltaylorguitar]

cragginshred Haha, don’t, my wallet can’t take it!!

[@cragginshred]

@@karltaylorguitar You will not regret it, trust me!

[@ryanhaviland442]

X amp or Helios?

[@cragginshred]

BE deluxe and Slo 100 are my keepers!
