Friedman PT V2 20W 1 x 12-inch Tube Combo
Friedman PT V2 20W 1 x 12-inch Tube Combo Reviews
The original Friedman PT has long been a top-selling tube combo, delivering the sound of a 100-watt, EL34-powered monster in a pint-size, 20-watt, EL84-fueled package. The PT V2 exhibits the same fire-breathing sound as its predecessor but with a larger speaker and greater sonic flexibility. This guitar amplifier produces the full gamut of tones, from classic rock chime to hard rock crunch to heavy metal thunder. You get a 3-band EQ for dialing in your basic tone, along with a Fat switch for thicker textures and a Sat switch for heavier saturation. You also get a 3-position S switch for absolute control over the PT V2's gain structure. This 1-channel dynamo includes a Celestion G12M Creamback speaker for a distinctive British-flavored character and an ultra-transparent effects loop for easy integration with your pedals and outboard effects. Musicians searching for a versatile single-channel tube amp will find everything they're looking for in the Friedman PT V2 — and then some.
This is the one
This is the sound of rock & roll. Single channel, straight up British mod. Very rich, harmonic, percussive with sag and really opens up past 2 on master. Definitely can tell there's a custom transformer, sounds much larger than other el84 power sections that I have not had great results with. Cabinet sounds large, and the structure/sat switches make this feel like much more than a single channel.
Very impressed and keeping long term. Can't say enough good things, just wow. This things rips and is the tone in my head, personally.
Fire breathing tiny beast
My main amp has been a Friedman BE50 head for years. I purchased the PT v2 for smaller venues and to save my back from lugging a cabinet and head around. All I can say is, Holy Hell. Phenominal amp in all respects. Don't be afraid of the single channel, it cleans up nicely with the guitar volume rolled back. Takes pedals in front and in the effects loops as good as any amp I've played. The single cream back has a nice smoothness to it compared to the v30s in my 2x12. Don't hesitate to get this little fire breather. It's much more amp and sound than you can possibly imagine.
Awesome Sounds!
Amazing amp
Awesome little amp, love with my Bad bob boost and archer pedal in front, but not needed. Sounds massive with my 2x12 box open back can with greenbacks
