Good.....not great!
Ralph-UK 17.12.2024
Have been in the market for a smaller head for more AC/DC classic style tones. I was under the impression Friedmans were like modified Marshalls but to my ears they don't sound like Marshalls at all. Lovely chimey clean sound but I didn't like the standard overdrive channel at all. It was harsh and got harsher as the volume went up. I just couldn't dial it out without making the amp sound wooly. The sat switch does what it says and gives the amp a more modern sound but you take quite a volume hit when using this feature.
Overall for the money I was disappointed, it was an OK amp but nothing great when you consider the price tag. I've since acquired a 20W Marshall Plexi and that thing is a fire breathing monster and considerably less than half the price of the Friedman. I've played a number of 20W heads, the Marshall and PRS amps just seem much louder compared to the Friedman. That's not a big thing but by the time you add the sat switch you could easily run out of juice when playing live.

Friedman 70th Anniv. T-7020 Head
Dave04 09.08.2024
What a great amp! The sound I get from this is amazing from clean, crunch up to high gain. I was slightly worried it wouldn't keep up with our loud drummer but it easily does the job, this thing gets loud. I have also used this without a speaker going direct to FOH and it still sounds great. It is expensive but if you want a small versatile amp and like the Friedman sound, then this is the one. Highly recommended.

PERFECT AMP FOR ROCKER
areks 16.06.2024
Mam PINK TACO V2. Brzmi genialnie ale popsuł się na gwarancji. Friedmany brzmią genialnie więc kupiłem Friedman 70th Anniv. T-7020 Head. Ten AMP jest bardzo rockowy w sferze brzmienia. Ma całą masę korekt brzmienia co sprawia, że jest bardzo uniwersalny. Jeśli ktoś stwierdził, że dziś już lampowy AMP nie ma sensu bo mamy profilery/modulery to powinien spróbować tego Friedmana. Mnie przechodzą ciarki gdy uderzam w struny na gitarze podłączonej do niego. Brzmi fantastycznie jak wszystkie Friedmany, które miałem. Jest bardzo ładnie wykończony. Jedyne zastrzeżenie to obsługa tych switcha i gałek typu PULL. Jest do tego dosyć słaby dostęp bo są malutkie. Ja jednak zamiast kręcić gałkami wół grać a do tego ten wzmacniacz się idealnie nadaje. W porównaniu do PINK TACOV2 ten AMP jest bardziej zróżnicowany brzmieniowo. Ma więcej możliwych do uzyskania brzmień. PiNK Taco V2 bardziej kojarzy mi się z brzmieniami rockowo/metalowymi.

Der beste Verstärker, den ich je gespielt habe
mushko 18.09.2024
++ Master Volume macht genau das, was man braucht - laut oder leise, ohne den Sound oder die Verzerrung zu sehr zu verändern. Hier bekommt man die besten leisen High-Gain-Sounds, die ich je gehört habe. Man braucht also keinen Powersoak.
+ Es ist ziemlich flexibel. Man kann es ohne weitere Treter benutzen. Als Plattform für Pedale auch super. Aber wenn man viele Overdrive oder Distortion Treter benutzt, braucht man die Friedman Gain Struktur vielleicht nicht.
+ Man findet schnell und einfach die richtigen Einstellungen.

Manche werden es etwas zu dumpf finden. Wenn man versucht das mit Treble und Presence zu beheben, wird es oft unangenehm spitzig. Die schönen hohen Obertöne fehlen etwas. Dafür ist das aber fast immer butterweich und angenehm. Ich sag mal so: auch Metal muss nicht unangenehm klingen ;)

An der Bedienung fehlt mir lediglich noch Gain-Cut Knopf im Footswitch, aber das Feature lässt sich auch bei Bedarf nachbauen.

Verarbeitung ist i.O., allerdings hat man schon das Gefühl dass er etwas billigere Potis hat.

Im Vergleich zu allen anderen Friedman 20 Watt Verstärkern hatte er den größten Gainbereich, die besten Features und für mich den besten Sound.

Der eingebaute (analoge?) Speaker-emulierter DI-Out finde ich im Vergleich zur AxeFx Speaker Sim ziemlich schlecht. Brauchbar, aber nicht wirklich gut. Im Notfall ist das auch gut zu haben.
