Friedman PLEX: Iconic British Tone Meets Cutting-edge Crunch

Dave Friedman’s unrivaled tube-tone prowess made him the go-to guarantor for superlative sonics, with the likes of Eddie Van Halen and Jerry Cantrell among the Rolodex of riff masters who sought Friedman’s craftsmanship to supercharge their sounds. His namesake company serves guitarists of all creeds across a voltaic array of tube-powered performance, and the PLEX is the latest amp to tap into Friedman’s near-academic amplifier expertise. With EL34 and 12AX7 tubes powering its formidable 50-watt output, the PLEX represents Friedman’s efforts to capture the aural essence of his prized 1968 British tube head. Does the PLEX measure up to the vintage panache of Dave’s number one? Sweetwater put their exarch of overdrive, Nick Bowcott, and purveyor of panache, Don Carr, on the case to find the answer, chatting with Dave Friedman himself to unravel the story of how the PLEX came to be. Check it out!

Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
