Amazing demo. Oh, and nice cable. 😉🎸🙏🏼

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Well Vincent, I only use the best cables!!! 😎 www.signummusic.com

[@vincent33195]

@@BigHairyGuitars Hit me up 😎🤘🏼

[@reereelization]

6:11 is the sound, and the high gain thereafter. Always been a sucker for the dirt. 👍

[@craigprsable]

Great demo Michael! Thanks man.

[@Polentaccio]

FINALLY he's dialing in more raw highs. Love the sound of this one. Might have to consider it!

[@AlbertoBarrero1]

Hope everyone can appreciate the beauty and work behind this video (song, mix, master, demo... Amazing) Really brilliant musician. Thanks for your art Michael.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thank you kindly my friend! I love you work!

[@av8tordonny398]

My God this amp sounds killer, and Michael your playing dude.. legit. Love this channel.

[@johandelange]

Dude. Your playing = 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@diarrhea_splatter]

100% agreed!

[@highgear1]

Fantastic

[@bwgti]

His playing has been nuts lately. The kind of playing that sounds good to everyone. Not just other guitar players.

[@peterschaefer1665]

Wow! Killer tones and playing!

[@Jay-sy5yf]

All those other youtubers are at best "guitarists." This guy is a full blown musician. There is a difference!

[@FernandoSegundo]

Wow ! What an intro ! that was awesome . im in love with the sound of this thing

[@nickdownard2672]

I absolutely love your demos. I bought my Runt 50 after watching your video, and I'm most likely going to buy the PT-20 V2 because of how amazing you make it sound. Keep doing what you're doing. Favorite channel out there.

[@michaelmione]

That intro was absolutely killer. The buttery yet brutal tones, the layering, and of course those awesome LA guitar hands!

[@ROKZLEON]

That amps sounds killer!!! Your playing makes it next level!!! 🤘🏻

[@kuringmundo]

the production here is awesome

[@nunocarmona]

That intro was amazing!👏👏👏

[@MrTroyBettis]

Awesome intro tune man! This thing sounds amazing!

[@gradyshawver7643]

Great demo Michael. Outstanding playing also!

[@bgrells]

Amp sounds killer, and you freaking rock dude-excellent playing

[@stevengoodman3498]

Michael! Absolutely killer intro. I love your songs man. Thanks for the demo of this killer amp. Have a great weekend my man.

[@joshvcrawford]

Michael, You guitar chops just keeps getting better and better This tune is killer!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thanks Josh!

[@gioelevio1626]

Great playing and a killer track!

[@GlenDeanII]

Sounds killer... great playing as well! Rock on!

[@charlesg.1207]

Michael incredible playing, the amp slays period.

[@johngraves2185]

Nice! This is my favorite Friedman amp! I need one now! Great playing!

[@b.scottfarthingsworth]

Killer playing as always, Michael. Great tones and very detailed vid. That thing smokes, surely loud enough for drummer/gigs

[@MoreMeRecording]

Crushing and GREAT playing, Mike

[@tjmaclean]

Sounds awesome!! Thanks Michael!

[@martincannavo25]

Michael, that first heavy riff sounds absolutely moustruous 🥹 devastative tone !!!!

[@harry-callahan-aka-dirty-harry]

That intro song... Great! Awesome tones.

[@brownsfan7753]

Killer demo Michael!!!

[@jeha1852]

great sound and playing

[@bigdavedave9865]

Sounds killer, great playing too 👌😎

[@BrettPapa]

YES!! Awesome demo sir!

[@JBI1]

Man, when you play this thru a good bluetooth speaker, that amp sounds huge and massive! Great tone and playing as well.

[@foxyfoxtrot4233]

Sounds great!

[@AErealm]

Nice review. Great crisp licks and playing as well.

[@jackvai2681]

Ooooh...that thing sounds great!

[@rilianriggs4620]

Man you should have 32 Million subscribers, not 32 thousand! Killer channel, killer playing

[@MrTriskaidekaphobic]

Sick riffs Brother! Amp sounds great as well.

[@jamesmaxwell5415]

Awesome Intro! So Much ROCK!

[@drosspunter]

Sounds great. I especially liked the les paul sound in the intro.

[@JesusOtinChannel]

It sounds beautiful!

[@juancarlosgranados4425]

Best of 10 demos of this amp I've seen.

[@x7stringinJSCx]

Sounds great. I like the look more on this one too.

[@kenwhitejr6464]

Wowwww you are a true guitar god brother! You make the pink taco sound killer! As u know I bought my taco stock and have loved it as much as my old slo-100 head but u have made me want to mod my taco to the new specs!

[@AndyK.23]

Sounds way brighter/better than the V1, I think! Great playing and tonz!

[@danmorrison8746]

So many of your parts reminds me of Jake Cinninger's stuff which is high praise. You write and play such killer parts.

[@LucaMilierimusic]

Oh, it sounds really really good!

[@rockinchippy]

Killing it Mike ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@RiffLair]

That Queensryche riff..! Owning a Pink Taco with just the 3way Sat switch. V2 sounds pretty nice actually. More gain and more options to play with.

[@CCC-ek8cl]

love you Michael!!you're my guitar hero!!

[@curiousuranus810]

Fantastic vid; fantastic sounds; fantastic amp - but strangely the combo sounds even better!

[@jimmyjames7946]

That sounds great to me!! I love that hot rodded British sound!! good demo brotha

[@MarkKirbyMusic]

Love the tune! Amp rules, of course it does, right? Dave’s a genius.

[@IamtheActionman]

You really know how to record guitar amps. Such a great player and appreciate all the very hard work it takes to make a high quality production like this. Thanks or sharing dude.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thank you Darryl. I very much appreciate the kind words! All the best, MN

[@wrobelsparrow]

The opening is lit!

[@darrylwhitesall5847]

Nice job Mike!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidjoel111]

The last thing I expected in that intro tune was a Norma Jean breakdown 😂 fabulous!!!❤❤

[@MRxr400]

wow, sounds amazing. killer variety of tones. great opening track too. the only gripe with this amp, is imagine if it had twin channels like twin sister. as i use mostly a two channel amp for edge of break up and driven channels. 20W is perfect power rating for me.

[@tonywhyte2523]

F**king SICK !!! I'm already a Friedman amp fan but your playing is just phenomenal 👌

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thank you Tony! I appreciate that!

[@getvicky13]

Damn what an intro!! That just hit all the right spots!!!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

😊THANKS!

[@jayl5941]

Wow that sounds so good. I hate to say it but it sounds like he put more "Marshall" into the amp but with so many options and way more gain. As an aside, I've watched your videos over the years and your chops seem to really be dialed in now - great playing.

[@tommydude1984]

Holy Fajitas- I must buy a Taco V2! Your channel was suggested by KZbin and this demo is fantastic! New subscriber 🥳

[@RokDAWG1]

Ok that just really blew my mind!

[@pauldaskal9510]

Great demo...im sold on the SSv2....ill be adding that to the stable next year!.

[@jammergreg]

Love it!

[@aristocaster]

Great review as always, really well done and played. This is how you are supposed to do gear reviews, take a note, you other people out there.

[@proteusandclare2255]

Came for the review, stayed for the intro song! Hot stuff!!

[@evanmiller2579]

Incredible!!

[@UncleRaab]

Holy crap, dude!! That opener was friggin' TASTY! I hate to compare one guitarist to another or the sound from one period to another because people and things change all the time, but that DEFINITELY had a George Lynch vibe to it! OMG 😱

[@sethflynn9458]

this is the wildwood pink taco from years ago, best amp they ever made..the ww20 still wins for me as it has the mic out and clean channel..tonally very very similar

[@morningstar3188]

I believe this is just the regular Pink Taco v2. They made two different versions for Wildwood guitars. I actually bought the ww20 for the same reasons you mentioned. Saves me hauling my suhr reactive load/ir around as well as the amp lol

[@cliftonwright7081]

Man, I wish I could get tones that badass

[@Nick-72]

Amazing Playing To Introduce The Small Beast 🤟🤟🤟

[@jayboy6895]

What does one say. Holy Shit!!!!! I don’t know how or when. I know this…. I’m getting one of those for sure. Sliced bread was great for sure but that my friends is Head. Michael I thought I was at those pearly gates for a moment while watching you play dude. Insanely Top drawer playing. Probably my favourite so far. Incredible.

[@anthonyschreck]

Bringing the heavier riffs one this one! Killer

[@hansgrayman4809]

I love this amp. Nice review. As I am moving away from modelers, even though I still have and am looking to keep the Fractal FM3 I have, I realized I really only need a couple of amp tones. And enjoy playing real tube amps much more than the synthetic copies of tube amps. Regardless of how good, there still not the same. And since everywhere has a reasonable PA and if they don't I can run the direct out on my Mesa Mark V 25 head out to my FRFR for extra volume if I need to, I don't need or want higher wattage amps anymore. I could see adding this on in the future with a matching cab. Different tone to the Mark V, but just as awesome.

[@slappywag7210]

That Friedman snarl is so awesome!!!🤘 Now I’m torn between this and the JJ😫 I think I’m leaning towards the V2.

[@IamtheActionman]

In the same boat. If it had the no load like the JJ it would be a no brainer for me but I'm torn as well.

[@cswany5193]

Had both. Kept pt20 v2. Not even comparable imo

[@GearZenChannel]

Sounds really good, but keeping my PT-20 mini combo. And yes, your intro tune was really fantastic!

[@stevehawthorn8733]

Both the amp and playing sound awesome, been playing for 52 years so I'd like to think I kinda know what I'm talking about

[@BradRocker]

The Taco is pretty tastie. Great little head

[@shorerocks]

Slick. Michael doing the Pete Thorn thing. More, please.

[@jasonmccarthy3370]

Michael, that sounds great. How about adding this to your already great Friedman Kemper Offerings!!!

[@mwrable]

Nice demo! Nice amp Dave Friedman! 👍

[@wyndigohtx]

had V1 in the past and always regretted selling it, for a good cause. a Mic, but damn, this V2 is where it's at!!!!!! 🔥

[@bobfiliczkowski8409]

Awesome intro!!

[@AX84Channel]

Intro song popped into my head this morning. Had to come get it

[@BigHairyGuitars]

WOW THANKS!!!!!

[@johnnyromero3336]

Well done Sir, excellent intro! Amazing playing. This Amp has my Attention, when can we expect these out for purchase?

[@83RED_]

FRIEDMAN Always impress me!

[@primaballerina84]

I never heard you play like this and it is Awesome! Post more when you're playing dude! Very inspiring!

[@JBurtonTenor]

Good God. Well done, thanks.

[@raulmartinezv6500]

Didnt knew dads could rock this hard😜

[@guitarz]

rippin' intro 🤘

[@fillo1971]

Ampli assassino, ma certo che come suoni tu amico mio è veramente spettacolare. Guardo sempre ormai da anni il tuo canale, sei spettacolare. E comunque ampli veramente bello. 🎸👍🏻🤟🏻💪🏻💯

[@SoCal71RS]

Oh man!!! Nice!

[@sheriffdohboy]

I can watch this channel for hours…..and your work with Friedman …in the words of Forrest Gump says ….you go together like peas and carrots

[@Twobarpsi]

Very nice amp 🤘🤘🤘!!

[@terrycolletti6793]

Dude! The riffs!!! Holy shit batman!

[@PapaWheelie1]

The sound of my people!

[@TheGuitarBreakdown]

Ok ... so ... uhhhhh ... somebody pick me up from the floor. That intro arrangement was SOOOOOO good!!!!

[@LordFingers1]

great sounding amp. viva la friedman

[@MrJackal43]

Killer riffin’ man! Top notch!

[@lazynorse5607]

Love it! Beggars can't be choosers but would love to hear 1) guitar volume roll off to clean (can it do it?), and 2) shootout between V1 and V2. Got a Dirty Shirley Mini and love it, but often wish it had a more toothy bite. V2 sounds like it has that upper mids snarl and bite. Got my GAS up now!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

I always forget about the volume rollback. I’ll try to use that more often.
