Looks like Dave and Pete Thorn go to the same barber.

[@SteffsGarage]

Maybe Pete cut his hair

[@lookmanostrings]

I'm just glad Pete Thorn got a damn haircut LOL

[@muleblues71]

Elliot Grey I just said the same dam thing to myself.

[@j.reveille6815]

And they both need a new one.

[@angusorvid8840]

Just my kind of tone. I've been a fan of Friedman amps for a long time and the Runt is really in the realm of tone I prefere. Excellent.

[@Lagwagon801]

Mitch Gallager's reviews are outstanding.

[@Nospoon777]

Sounds good!

[@murterrock]

so where is back panel on combo runt 20 looking for more a more pictures but i dont se annything

[@jasonsapp792]

Have the Runt 20 head , new to me...been running into a 1x12 with V30 8ohm speaker and eq pedal in the loop....middle turned down on head and classic V shape on pedal , gain 3/4 - all the way....more modern tone....pedal off back to 70's - 80's rock

[@tomulator]

Runt 50 head is a beast!

[@watchtheskies]

Shame they didn't make the boost footswitchable :(

[@mtrask3970]

If I buy one of these amplifiers, will it go from being one of his amplifiers to being one of my amplifiers, or will it always be one of his amplifiers?

[@paulproductions9213]

Sure like that small vintage looking head, these are the famous boutique amplifiers.

[@netenemy]

Yeah, I've been wanting/needing a new amp for awhile now. I've been on the fence over a Suhr Badger18 and Dave's PT-20. I go back and forth on which I want, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with the Wildwood Mod Pink Taco. Dave's the man.

[@larrytate1657]

Are the PT 20s priced higher than the runts? Which have more gain?

[@netenemy]

The Pink Tacos are handwired and therefore higher priced. I believe the gain staging is similar between the two. Try em out for yourself. The newer PT's also have options (3 saturation settings) the older version didn't have. Wildwood sells a version with two additional mods.

[@coffeewaldo]

netenemy ok this is 5 months ago.anyway u can get a SB limited. The 3rd channel omg.

[@wheresallthezombies]

so is it possible to play a gigg and rehearse with the 20 watt and a 2x12? I'm just doing covers at the moment. mostly top 40/dance stuff along with a few random 80s stuff thrown in the mix. I'm mostly looking, because i dont really need 50 watts and i want something thats small and easy to carry around.

[@rockdogs3972]

The Runt 20 is really loud! No problem for gigging 👍🏻👍🏻

[@lookmanostrings]

Yes it is....I do top40 pop/rock every weekend with a Fender 22w amp. Plenty of power. In bigger venues, you just put a mic on it for front of house.

[@mikebledsoe2315]

OK Sweetwater what's the price of the 50watt head? Thank you.

[@sweetwater]

Hey Mike! You can find product information here: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Runt50Combo!

[@larrytate1657]

Can these do modern metal if you boost with an OD pedal?

[@clemguitar63]

Get yourself a Friedman BE-OD Pedal, and transform almost any amp into a fire breathing metal machine!

[@MegaBrebis]

The Runt 20 or the Mini DS?

[@the92project]

to me the tone is what's important ultimately, and I think the runts sound generic. Mini DS all the way

[@jerryhorton5708]

I had the same question. I went with the Runt for the extra channel/flexibility. I was NOT disappointed with the choice! I will probably get a Mini DS at some point in the future. I am sold on Friedman.

[@quintstone4248]

Make a runt 100 w model!!!!

[@thelowmein9143]

i imagine even at 20 watts, the runt is super loud for home use

[@the92project]

Im a huge fan of Dave's amps. He is a genious, but im not feeling these runts. Im still a mini ds guy, or if i ever win the lottery a JJ

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

I agree

[@larrytate1657]

What don't u care for about the runts? Just curious?

[@the92project]

+Larry Tate to me the tone its not there, its not the same as with the handwired models. There is a huge price difference and thats obviously coming from somewhere

[@joakeen]

Not to mention that he does not seem even slightly enthusiastic about them.

[@xchump]

+Joaquin lol I think that's just how Dave is. Not a very salesy guy. Not sure we would've gotten much info from this video if Mitch hadn't been there kinda guiding it and asking questions.

[@charlespatrick8650]

too much cash for printed circuit boards imo

[@moodyvol89]

These are very well built printed circuit boards not like the thin junk a lot of amps at lower price points have.
