I highly recommend this runt 50 to myself.

[@GonzaCordo]

You are in the right train of thought!!!

[@danboylan2449]

Myself too lol

[@camai75]

great review.. been thinking about this as my next amp.

[@musicalgear1024]

Thank you for allowing me to hear the clean tones of this amp, which ultimately determine the overall tonal attributes of any amp. And thank you for not diming the gain Great job

[@GonzaCordo]

Thanks!…

[@DemonKingOFFICIAL]

PCB construction doesn’t necessarily mean “bad.” In the hands of a proper engineer, they are just as good as p2p.

[@GonzaCordo]

Agreed 100%!…

[@24ZEPACDC]

Great video. It’s an awesomely versatile amp and you did a great job showing that.

[@GonzaCordo]

Nice man!!...it was my best amp until I got the BE100DLX ...

[@tractordirt]

“You can solo over it…there is no problem”. Best line! Great playing and excellent vid!

[@GonzaCordo]

Thanks man!!!

[@fatamorgana4318]

Thanks for the nice review 👍

[@atomicslam1589]

19:20 is absolutely magical. GREAT demo of this amp. Would like to have heard it dry, given a really good quality reverb and/or Delay can make a huge difference....but, you've got me convinced that this is probably the best buy in the Friedman line if you're on a budget. This, or the Friedman DS mini has a really nice brown sound, as well if you tweak it properly. Would love to see you do a demo on that amp, as well. You've got a really good thing going with these demo's. Was a pleasure to watch.

[@GonzaCordo]

Thanks my man!!!....owning a BE100DLX and can tell you that the Runt it’s awesome!!!....really the core sound just a little bit more agressive!

[@BCyr1991]

This is my favourite sounding Friedman demo, regardless of product. Excellent sounds and playing!

amazing channel...great review

[@leftyzappa]

Wow.

[@chadhudson2046]

I’ve owned the BE100, Wildwood Small Box, two regular Small Boxes, two Pink Tacos and the Runt 50. The Runt 50 was the best and most usable for me personally. It’s became my #1 amp. I still have a Small Box that as use for a slave power amp for my stereo rig. Sounds amazing.

[@GonzaCordo]

Nice!….I love my BE100dlx but all of them are amazing!

[@jameskung2648]

I just purchased one of these based on your video. Thanks for the best demo on YT, and your English is just fine.

[@GonzaCordo]

Awesome James!!!

[@GonzaCordo]

Luck on that…I wouldn’t now about the year but the one that I had was 2017…it was great!…

[@joaopauloaboim8320]

Very nice video. Such a good amp! I don't think I'll be selling mine any time soon!

Great video

[@GonzaCordo]

Thanks!

[@Narada65]

Excellent demo. Thanks for sharing. I own an original BE100, a latest version BE100, an SS100 and sold an early Marshall "Kitchen Sink" mod (stupid mistake) some years back. After nearly 50 years of playing guitar I've never been happier than I am when I'm playing one of my Friedman's. Now I hear this demo of the far cheaper Runt and I'm floored! You're demo sounds so good it's making me wonder why I have all these EXPENSIVE Friedman's when that amp sound so damn good. I will definitely be checking one of these out in the near future. I may not give up my BE's or SS, but I could easily see a Runt joining my collection if I can make it sound this good. Thanks again for sharing this great demo.

[@GonzaCordo]

Oh yes!…Friedman amps are simple the best!…all of them have some awesome mojo!…now I have a 100dlx and that thing can do pretty much everything!…cheers?

[@Narada65]

@@GonzaCordo Interesting you mentioned the BE100 Deluxe as that's the amp that has been highest on my radar recently. Your comment that it can do pretty much everything has me intrigued. Can it truly do great clean, vintage and extreme gain modern? Can you dial in an identical sound to the BE100? If that's the case, I may be grabbing one of those and letting one my BE100's go.

[@GonzaCordo]

Súper cleans you can…and super high gain to…match the sound with the old BE shouldn’t be a problem…

[@paulcowart3174]

Dirty Shirley on my radar

[@Narada65]

@@paulcowart3174 if you dig the Dirty Shirley, check out the Twin Sister. It's everything the Shirley is, but times 2 (2 channels)! And it has an independent bright switch and 3 position gain switch for each channel. AND a global presence and deep knobs. It has taken the Shirley to a whole new level.

[@1974zah]

Very nice playing. I think this is the best demo of the amp I've heard.

[@1974zah]

BTW, what bridge pickup are running in the green guitar?

[@GonzaCordo]

Thanks my man!!!…

[@GonzaCordo]

It is a Friedman Triple D

[@1974zah]

@@GonzaCordo it sounds really good in combination with that amp and your hands. I'm getting older have been moving back to lighter gear over the past few years and back to Marshall style. I think I'm going to get a Runt 50 now. Sounds way better than my Marshall SC20 plus it has a nice clean channel.

[@GonzaCordo]

Sure it does sound better!…and it sounds that good at any volume ( you need to adjust the knobs a little bit ) … beautiful FX loop and great clean channel…and if you want British cleans just drop the guitar volume and you are there!

[@juanjacob2255]

Grande Gonza! Muy buen review del Friedman Runt 50, yo tengo uno tambien y se ha convertido en uno de mis amplificadores favoritos. Sigue adelante con tus videos! Suerte!

[@GonzaCordo]

Gracias Juan!!!

[@Simmel1977]

Cool vid man and cool sound as well! I also have a Runt 50 and your video shows perfectly that it´s not just a "cheap" compromise to the flagship models. Keep it up!

[@GonzaCordo]

simmel1977 that’s right!!...it’s an alternative...very nice amp!!...

[@stephenatgraceland]

Thanks for the very informative video. I never really grasped the value of high output pickups…until now!

[@GonzaCordo]

Thanks man!…good high output pickups can be really nice!

[@satchrules101]

That’s sounds sick bro! I have this amp , do you think the 20 watt .would’ve loud enough in band ?

[@GonzaCordo]

Yeah man!

[@KrstovicNikola]

I heard the first 10 seconds and i was like... Yeah, im gonna watch this till the end... Great video, keep it up!

[@GonzaCordo]

Krstovic Nikola thank you so much!!!

[@DanLeggatt]

Great tone and playing man! 👍

[@GonzaCordo]

Thank you so much!

[@CraigBeckta]

Amazing, I just bought a Friedman Runt 50. Do you know what preamp tubes and output tubes are in yours? Also, what modern speakers sound close to your blackback speakers?

[@GonzaCordo]

Thanks man!…i don’t know about the tubes I own a BE100dlx now…but I think it is EHX for preamp tubes and JJ for power…I think…closer thing to the Blackbacks are greenbacks…V30 and 75watts are pretty different

[@johnnywomack548]

Great demo. I just subscribed to your channel.

[@GonzaCordo]

Thanks a lot!!

[@bdgreg]

I blame this demo for my purchase of the Runt 50 combo just now. 👍🏻

[@GonzaCordo]

Awesome!…now just enjoy it!!!!

[@katianag7785]

Excellent video Gonzolo - Well done, nicely showing all the different tones and how the amp responds to different EQ and available tones in the amp.. Some cool guitars and excellent playing as well, very good job, 1 quick question is it ok playing at lower levels? like at home/TV volume - is it good for that? Thanks and keep up good work

[@GonzaCordo]

Katiana Glavan hi there!!!....yes it responds great at low volumen...probably you need to adjusts a little bit your eq settings to get same fatness and cut but totally workable!!...cheers

[@retrorockit]

Great video!!!! Your personality is fabulous and love the hand gesture doing the bass line in beautiful girl's at the end🤘🤘

[@GonzaCordo]

Thanks man!!

José Miguel Cabezas Ostolaza gracias!!!

[@spaceman8839]

My wife hates when I do the “brown eye” sound lol

[@GonzaCordo]

Hehe

[@luisfgd100]

Según entiendo, el boost del Friedman es parecido a ponerle un overdrive al frente al canal crunch (drive en 0 y todo el nivel). O sea, le agrega un poco de sustain y aprieta un poco los bajos. En el segundo video dices que para solear le agregas el Golden Pearl (con un seteo parecido, o sea casi sin gain). Lo que no entiendo es por qué ocupas el pedal y no el boost del amplificador para solear? O es que para solear pones el crunch con boost más el Golden Pearl? Saludos

[@GonzaCordo]

le agregaba el GP sobre el boost interno....en rigor es como lo que dices...un poco mas de sustain...

[@dougrettberg7986]

Hello - great video! Can you get the great tones you're getting at a low volume?

[@GonzaCordo]

Not that awesome but quite godo!

[@nickdownard2672]

Love the tones and the playing, but your BE-100 video makes me want to sell my Runt 50!

[@GonzaCordo]

Thanks man!…that BE it’s the best amp out there!…but the Runt it’s awesome on its own right!

[@Mordecai06]

Sounds great, the closest sound to the brown sound of any Friedman amp. In my view most Friedman amps sound way too boomy and modern to be considered a representation of plexi and the brown sound but this is the sound in Eddie Van Halen's head.

[@GonzaCordo]

I own a BE100dlx now and I think it’s even closer…

[@RiffLair]

Once again I'm back to your videos for advice 😂. I got a Pink Taco and love it but it really needs a presence control. I want a 2 channel now for clean / drive. I was thinking about Runt 50, Small Box or something like that. Any suggestions? I play from classic rock to EVH , 80s metal , Metallica etc. Cheers man!

[@GonzaCordo]

Nice man!…both of thetas WiLL serve you well!…SB with a little more vintage feel…considere that JEL20!

[@RiffLair]

JEL 20, I know man!! But there's no clean even on the 1st channel. Right ? The Runt 50 is a bit more modern I think? Which one would you pick if you had to choose? Hehe, cheers!

[@KipCount]

Could this clean channel serve for some classic Fender-ish 60s rock? Even surf type stuff? Definitely sounds chimey enough for this type of thing. Not too middy or thick.

[@GonzaCordo]

I think it could!...according to Dave it’s in the vein of a Black face...maybe that would give you more reference of how it sounds...it’s super clean and scoop as fender are!...

[@KipCount]

@@GonzaCordo Thanks buddy. I love your videos. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

[@rocker8692]

Does it have Mercury Magnetics transformer?Thanks

[@GonzaCordo]

No man....whatever what’s stock on these...

[@eyedunno8462]

Mercury Magnetics is like the monster cables of transformers - good, but very overpriced. Son, these are custom-made by Friedman. They don't have the fancy brembo brake red paint job but I guarantee you they are superior in every way.

[@GonzaCordo]

Sure thing…herboer or something like that…top stuff

[@flavionovaes363]

What cabine 2x2 ?? What speakers ?

[@GonzaCordo]

4x12 ( Ibanez thermion ...an awesome well built cab ) with 2 V30's and 2 77' Black backs ( 55 hz )

[@joaopauloaboim8320]

Do you give lessons?

[@GonzaCordo]

Sure thing!… email me to [e-mail]

[@eyedunno8462]

This is rawer and hairier than the BE but in no way compromised. Almost prefer in many ways.

[@GonzaCordo]

Exactly what I think of this sound!

[@lanceraustin]

Well man, your plexi is the holy grail. Compared to that amp (and your brilliant modifications to it), this Friedman is a bit of a pretender, I am sad to say.

[@GonzaCordo]

They are in deed different...there’s nothing like a crancked Plexi but they are truly beasts!...Friedman amps can get a 95% of that sound but at any volume!...

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

My clean channel isn't very clean lol. Its like a jcm8pp 2205 in the fact that it starts getting gritty almost instantly

[@GonzaCordo]

And you have a Runt 50??....Runt 20 has a dirtier clean channel but the 50 it's super clean

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

@@GonzaCordo I have a runt 50 and yes it starts breaking up a little early but that could just be my custom 5 pickup doing that

[@GonzaCordo]

@@TheDistortionPrinciple probably!

[@truescotsman4103]

I think the only reason it's cheaper is because it's made in China.

[@GonzaCordo]

It’s not made in China…it’s made in USA but it is not a handwired amp…it has a PCB construction…top quality components and the same QC than de more expensive ones

[@truescotsman4103]

@@GonzaCordo I have an early one that I was told was made in China. I had to send it in to be repaired there was a bad solder joint on one of the tube sockets. While it was there I had him (Dave F) mod the boost into a second channel with a bit less gain than the regular be channel. Great sounding amp.

[@GonzaCordo]

Made in USA…and yes!!…Dave is so good at this!!!

[@truescotsman4103]

@@GonzaCordo mine says assembled in California on the back. Dave told me the amp was manufactured in China. I'm assuming he meant the main PC board. And the transformers. That doesn't make it a bad amp. I know there was a bad batch that came out of China and a lot of them have the same problem mine had. It's still a great amp. One thing I noticed though is it only weighs about half as much as my BE100 deluxe. The BE weighs 49 lb. The runt only weighs 34.

[@GonzaCordo]

That’s the thing a lot of parts are made in China so they can’t say “made in USA” cause they only can do that if everything it’s made in USA…so…but that the case for everything really…a Mercedes Benz must have at least 75% of part made in China!!..
