Hear the Friedman Jose Signature amp first sounds! Live from NAMM 2025!

[@lennyjay22GbgLALV]

Man that amp sounds AMAZING!!! VH for REAL!!! Great playing Jeremy!!

[@JeremyVarao]

Thanks man! Yeah it’s amazing. I’m pretty sure you can tell by my face the whole time, it was just a joy to play.

[@RezaMatix]

well done! good seeing you today!!

[@JeremyVarao]

Oh man, great seeing you, albeit too briefly!

[@TechMetalRules]

Nice to see an actual modded Marshall at NAMM this year! When the camera mic gets close to the cab... whew

[@JeremyVarao]

Yeah man, and I say this respectfully but the new Modded Marshall line has nothing on this amp. This is THE amp of NAMM 2025.

[@tobaccosun]

Holy hell that sounded amazing.

[@JeremyVarao]

Man it’s truly something! Like I said in the vid, I have no poker face. It is amazing. It was almost emotional.

[@travisbickle131]

Sounds fucking amazing!!!

[@JeremyVarao]

It’s pretty damn fantastic

[@arimnemonic]

Sick 🤘

[@JandNandJ]

Great video, sounded amazing, thanks!

[@JeremyVarao]

Thank you! I wish we could have gotten it a bit louder, but NAMM can be a challenge for sure.

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

Hell yeah this amp rules!

[@JeremyVarao]

Man right?? I keep saying, as far as amps go it was the belle of the ball

[@monkeyrater]

Were you using any effects? I cant believe that sound is just from the amp alone, absolute perfect tight tone.

[@JeremyVarao]

Just the Roland SDE-3000 delay. Amp had no boost or added gain. Just amp as-is.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Sounds excellent.

[@JeremyVarao]

Yeah man. Dave nailed it for sure!

[@geezberry8889]

jose and an sde-3000 that's all you really need

[@wizardsouthJP]

Sounds juicy! Nice man 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@JeremyVarao]

Yeah man, I wish I grabbed vid of Jason Frankhouser ripping it

[@JohnWiku]

Tacking a tube screamer into the front end of a Plexi, doesn't make it the modified Marshall that Marshall itself "modified". THIS IS THE MODIFIED MARSHALL!!!

[@JeremyVarao]

FUCKING RIGHT!!!! It’s a huge miss on Marshall’s part that they went decades ignoring their base to now limp out with their offering. THIS is the tone and amp. /tone search.

[@cragginshred]

More open mids and raw than a BE?

[@hans1478]

that amp is sick!!!

[@JeremyVarao]

I’m very excited voted for the release

[@CaptainFantastik1]

So can this thing do anything that a regular Friedman variant can’t from a hot rodded Marshall perspective?

[@kidkrate]

Take my money now

[@JeremyVarao]

#same

[@TomekGrzyb82]

Wonder how it sounds without delay/wdw/whatever it is 😅

[@JeremyVarao]

Fucking amazing. Went back later with Jason Frankhouser (Killertone on KZbin) and we figured out the big ass button labeled “Bypass” well… bypassed the delay! lol! Dave gave us a proper walkthrough of the amp.

[@kmetal83]

Got that NAMM cut ✂️

[@ulknatmelknatu]

Who is this guy? Ronnie North?

[@JeremyVarao]

Ha! I could only wish to one day be half the talent of Ronny…

[@dreamawayyourpain]

How different is it from be-100d?

[@jroz8111]

killer does it chunk well?

[@JeremyVarao]

Oh 100%! Jason Frankhouser was hanging with me today and he hopped on it and was equally as floored with how chunky it chugged. Just a ripper. He said, and I quote “that’s white those SHOULD sound like!” as he pointed to the Marshall booth.

You do, I know, me too!

[@didamnesia3575]

@JeremyVarao great playing btw. Last time I was at NAMM in 2010 I was a trumpet player, now I'm a guitar player

[@JeremyVarao]

@@didamnesia3575 oh thanks so much man! I actually taught myself 5 or 6 of my old slow punk bands songs on trombone and trumpet back in the late 90’s! In hindsight I guess that’s kinda gross sharing a spit valve with other dudes! Lol!

[@didamnesia3575]

@JeremyVarao only if you inhale... "and i did not inhale" lol Edit: I'm kidding, I inhaled

[@vaipod3955]

Closest thing I have ever heard to VH1 in a box!!!!

[@JeremyVarao]

When I went back a second time with Bud and fellow KZbin hoser Jason “Killertone” Frankhouser, we finally figured out how to turn the delay off and even dry, it was glorious. Dave gave us a personal walkthrough of the amp. It was a great day.

[@kschumac]

Need to turn down the reverb/delay

[@JeremyVarao]

We finally figured out how to later…

[@Erock503]

Was hoping this wasn't going to hit the G.A.S. nerve, but resistance is futile I guess. 😛

[@JeremyVarao]

@@Erock503 oh homie, this IS the amp you’re looking for!

[@Tonskiislegit]

Wow

[@JeremyVarao]

Soooooooo good

[@meambobbo]

\m/

[@oldguyjammin9732]

But I still don’t know what’s on the front panel…

[@JeremyVarao]

I got you homie! From left to right, the first two knobs are Presence controls with a toggle to switch between the two, then you have Post Master Vol, Bass, Mid, Treb, Pre Master Volume, Volume 1, Volume 2 with Gain Style, Plexi mode and Fat toggle switches, then Gain.

[@HugoWelti]

Dave Friedman should consider a healthier lifestyle.

[@maxwellblakely7952]

Funny a lot of them are like that. I think that they just work. Steven Fryette and Dr Z are the same.

[@JohnWiku]

​@@maxwellblakely7952all work, no sleep, makes you eat to stay awake 😂😂

[@monkeyrater]

I told Dave that in the comments of one of his Tone Talk videos and he just went off on me. Something like: "how dare you say that, you would never say that to my face" and even some stuff insinuating violence that he edited out.
