When Friedman has a new release. I ALWAYS wait until Micheal release’s his video to watch. Has such a good ear for great tone and he’s an underrated guitarist. ❤❤❤

[@MoreMeRecording]

He should have way over 100k subs, minimum!

[@nicholastotoro7721]

Whether this is your sound or not, you can *NOT* argue that Dave made an amp that is anything but a definitive take on it!!!

[@seangillen920]

This sound is in everyones DNA. I love it when a company gives its customers what they want.

[@Hagstrom4ever]

This channel to me is in the Top 3 of the most useful and interesting gear related channels. Knowledge, nerdiness, ability to be top notch on every music scenario, incredible playing. What else?

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Wow! Thanks!!! I appreciate that!

[@evan2757]

Morning coffee with Michael and a new Friedman amp demo, it's gonna be a perfect day! 😊

[@WilliamZuest]

Best demos in the biz, by far.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Dude, your intro songs are the BEST! Very tasty playing

[@mfergel]

Totally agree.

[@scottm3775]

It’s AMAZING how Michael can dial in such accurate tones and then cop the playing vibe of so many classics. What a player!!😮

[@BigHairyGuitars]

So generous of you to say. Thank you so much! 🙏

[@joker6388]

This beats Marshall. Probably the best sounding amp I've ever heard. Dave, you are the fucking man!

[@kcastillomusic]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1110">18:30</a> to <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1127">18:47</a> has to be the most PERFECT Plexi tone I have ever heard in my life

[@reereelization]

Agreed.

[@TrevorrNourse]

Marshall just soiled their pants... Michael is a monster and Dave, well he's just being Dave. AMAZING TONE. THANK YOU

[@GabeHelma]

Marshall shoulda made this amp years ago though!

[@guitardave]

This makes me happy. I love it when Michael demo’s an amp, especially something as cool as this one. Great job as always - and that goes for both Michael and of course Mr Friedman!

[@colthaan2001]

you and leon and pete tackled the task of making an amazing video about this awesome amp

[@ryanpaul4833]

What an intro!!!! Amazing sounding amp with some incredible playing! By far, my favourite KZbin channel

[@billporter3039]

What a great classic rock tone. Great song and playing, Michael!

[@Pitti444]

Hell yeah, finally! I've ordered one, can't wait to get it. Sick tone and playing, Michael!

[@dvomvas1]

once again, you have the best original music out of any KZbinr. Awesome!

[@chrisbehrend6686]

Awesome demo, Michael! Looks like I'll be selling some gear to make room for a Plex. Damn you Dave!!!

[@cbeserra]

Great tones! You went through so many classic riffs and they sounded superb!!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thank you kindly! Rock on!

[@_patrikjay_]

Dave's such a Master with his circuit designs... All Friedman amps just have this fresh vibrancy, it's really something! Great demo vid Michael!

[@steveniles6510]

The amp sounds amazing. Appreciate the work you do as always Michael.

[@kinleydorji]

Thanks Michael, that was a great demo!

[@MrTroyBettis]

Man this amp sounds great and as always brother your intro tune is just killer!!! Thank you!

[@marshallmel]

Been waiting for your demo video since the Friedman clinic in Pittsburgh. Did not disappoint!

[@charvelshredder]

Incredible playing & tones man! Dave hits a home run once again! 🎼🎸

[@mojo292]

That first track was smoking! Great job as always!

[@johngallagher7884]

Got to say Micheal and Pete's demos are awesome. There are both different but they cover so much tonal landscapes. Love it. Thanks Mr Nielson. And thanks Mr Thorn

[@nathancloud6344]

Great playing during the intro! I love that Les Paul tone you had working......you are really in to something here

[@bigdavedave9865]

Dude you are killing it with the classic riffs 🤘🤘🤘

[@MrKenward777]

You truly showed the plethora of shades of tone this thing is capable of. Amazing demo!

[@RonDodson9]

Terrific video, Michael. These types of amps are true player's amps...they reveal dynamics and nuance that is so rewarding.

[@staggs5034]

When I saw this at Namm. I was already looking forward to your demo. Love those intro pieces.

[@SteveR5954]

Stellar demo... Can't beat Michael Nielsen and Pete Thorn. Hope to plug in to a Plex one day!

[@TheRemizinho]

Man, that intro was tasty AF! Looove it. Great job, Michael

[@DavidLee07]

Sounds ballsy. It would be cool to A/B this against a Suhr SL67. I think either amp could do a Plexi fan proud (I have a Suhr but I also have a Friedman JJ Jr. and both companies are great!).

[@tcoxy]

Sounds awesome, I would stay and watch the rest of the video but I am off to practice after watching your opening track. Tasty playing as always.

[@botisi]

Huge sound! Great amp and awesome playing! Hi from 🇵🇷 🎸🔥🎼✌️

[@300jet]

Dude I love everything you do…but this may be all time favorite. WELL DONE

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Oh cool! Thanks! I was a bit insecure about the opening track. I'm glad it's been well received. I thought maybe it was a little long... but I was having fun with it :)

[@jmartinez2367]

Really great demo as always, Michael! You, Pete Thorn, and Leon Todd are my go-to channels for these types of demos. For the really super high gain stuff, John at Sonic Drive Studios is also amazing.

[@pcbullets8726]

Always great when you demo one of these Friedman amps. They definitely kick a$$!

[@bastianeberz3571]

Awesome song, awesome playing, great sound, great amp, just stelar work. Keep it up! 🤘👍🤗

[@MoreMeRecording]

Damn, you just dropped some *serious* bows with this one! Awesome playing, awesome sound!!

[@extrememike]

That was a great and punchy intro! 🤘🏼

[@s_everett454]

Totally wasn't expecting to hear def leppards stage fright. Awesome.

[@shreddievanhalen1]

One of my favorites!

[@markkinney5030]

I love that amp it sounds so good! Mr. Dave you nailed that tone man! Sweet

[@braxal6983]

Michael that sounds ballzy and badass!!!!

[@EduardoSantosf5Gwx]

Awesome! Each guitar retains its own sound and character! Home Run!

[@gil_evans]

Loved the different AC/DC album sounds!

[@TechMetalRules]

I've been waiting since NAMM for you to have a video of this thing... and of course, you make it sound freakin' great!

[@Mssrmikeone]

Awesome demo

[@MRxr400]

at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="70">1:10</a>, there's a pushed cleanish glassy rhythm guitar, sounded amazing. You do an incredible job recording the best out of an amp and play the socks off the guitar. great video

[@67er_matze97]

awesome demo of a fantastic amp!! Dave Friedman is a genious !!

[@eddiejr540]

and on the 8th day God created a Les Paul into a plexi 🤘

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

It does sound divine....

[@jonathanlok643]

Clapton?

[@vextract4662]

Mike delivers another smoking 🔥 clinic!

[@ianmartens5286]

Killer intro brother!

[@davidaddington5900]

Killer !!! Another awesome review 🤙🏼 thanks Mike

[@BigHairyGuitars]

🤘😎. Thank you brother!

[@vitaliistep]

Dave, the intro song is amazing!

[@zakkhale181]

Beautiful

[@BillyE5150]

Wow! Crazy good sound

[@RezaMatix]

juicy tone!

[@chrispicha]

Great demo! Love the Landau nod. 😎

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thanks! 👍

[@WallyBoots]

I come here for Mike’s playing and stay for the review. Would love to see you do some course based on your playing style. Would buy that on day one!!! My favorite player on KZbin! 🤘

[@bobbaumeister5243]

sehr geil! Merci Michael

[@brianmckenzie1318]

Man, sounds like perfection! Just no where I could play it, thus will not realize it's potential.

[@joemcgraw5529]

This amp is incredible ,Dave really did this amp more than perfect I was struggling trying to figure out what Amp Dave makes that I like the most and just found it ,lawd its so nice and Michael you did a awesome Demo of this amp thankyou and Dave for designing it and for making up my mind which friedman I really have to have and this is the Amp!!!!!1

[@MrLespaul2000]

Opening sequence was awesome.

[@waterbuffalo4225]

Best demo out of all demos on youtube, as always. When will you try the Metaltronix M 2000?

[@rob550]

I like how when you demo stuff you write a cool tune and then riff on it for a bit and then write an awesome solo on top so that by the time you've finished playing I already want the gear and am just sticking around for the specs and maybe some more riffing. Some other channels will do it backwards and then I start looking around to see if you or Pete Thorn got it lol.

[@bluecollarguitarist]

Mike, my man! The tapping lick at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="55">0:55</a> was fire 🔥

[@NikolajChristensen]

Fucking love your videos Michael. Bad ass playing as always.

[@adamfstewart81]

Wow it sounds amazing I need one

[@jasonstys4865]

Amp sounds amazing. Speaking of amazing, I bought some of your IRs and I’m blown away at how great they sound. Thanks for those and all the great videos. Question: have you ever played the Aguilar 1911 preamp?

[@MAG-li5jo]

Your demos are the best on YT. I just watched others by Pete and Dave and was thinking, pretty cool. Click on your video and I am thinking take my money already. And I don't know if your Jeff Beck vibe stuff is inspired directly by him or those he influenced, but it still equals tasty as all heck. 🙂

[@gsauce132able]

That's some beautiful classic tones coming from that beautiful box. Maybe have a comparison with the Magnatone Slash head.

[@HBNF721]

Great review - This is some of the best "Plexi Crunch" tones I have heard on KZbin - Maybe you mentioned it but what IR where you using - It had great attack on it

[@aristocaster]

Excellent video, and amp.

[@BradRocker]

Killer demo man !!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thanks so much!

[@crosswood6338]

Plex sounds amazing! 👍

[@tube33139]

Love it. Wish it would come with 1w/5w/10w/25w a built in attenuator. 50w is NUTS!

[@neilnolin823]

Sounds awesome 👌

[@juhalehtonen9000]

Thing of pure art.

[@tony2tone1985]

Came here for the amp, stayed for the playing. Serious chops man

[@MercutioUK2006]

Listening to you and Pete Thorn back to back is just tone and playing nirvana. Very, VERY cool amp.

[@PistolsPlayground]

Damn you man. You're doing my wallet no favors! Awesome demo, great playing as always.

[@AndyK.23]

Not a bad sound to be had! Great demo Michael! Wonder what the insides of this thing look like?

[@MichalKulbakaGuitar]

nice lizzy cold sweat riff there :) sounds great

[@william7108]

Yeah I remember a couple months back or so he said he was probably going to put this one together I guess he did it for sure sounds great

[@TavaresProject]

That sounds brilliant...Of course the master on 10 it is perfection but that master volume is incredible, because you can be at bedroom level and still retain 90% of THAT tone which is huge. Great great job!!!. Excellent demo Michael. BTW which IR were you using?

[@jimnicholas7666]

Nice AC DC and Warren D. tone! Great playing!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

THANKS! Love those guys.

[@DrorBecker]

Hey Michael, Great demo! What IR are you using in this video? thanks!

[@GearBoxTy]

Michael makes me want to buy every amp he tries!

[@gtcheetah3361]

nice!! would be cool to see that compared to your 1971 super lead

[@DirtyBlues8]

Great demo, Micheal. What attenuator are you using for the Plex?

[@wadekresak2149]

When the term 'maneuver' came into terminology, MVC inherently struck UFO/MSG tones. Good job Michael!

[@wadekresak2149]

I must add that playing, instead of explaining is what this amp is all about.

[@alguitarchristie]

Sounds like a Plexi should! Love it! I guess you will need another amp to go for a wet dry! Probably the best dry amp you could have!

[@highgear1]

....sounds really great and great playing again .... but Michael could sell me nearly everything ;-) , haha ... now i would like to hear a comparison video between the Friedman Plex and the Suhr SL67 MKI ... thanks for the Review

[@KelsterVonShredster]

Man that sounds freakin' great

[@toddamarino]

Great video! Can you tell me what kind of load box you were using? Thank you.

[@JasonCGuitarOfficial]

From the first A chord I was sold ..... Holy shit!

[@ScottGailor]

Cold Sweat…… nice touch
