{"product_id":"friedman-jose-100-head","title":"Friedman Jose-100 Jose Arredondo Tribute Head","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Jose-100 is Friedman's tribute to Jose Arredondo (1923 to 1994), whose modifications to classic British amps Friedman credits with starting the high-gain era. Dave Friedman developed it with Arredondo's daughter, Marisol Arredondo, as a new Friedman design built around the \"Jose mod\". It is a 100-watt head with four EL34s and four 12AX7s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe input stage is internally jumped, with separate volumes for Channel 1 (Lead spec) and Channel 2 (Normal spec) feeding one Gain control and a Bass, Middle and Treble EQ. A three-way Gain Style switch moves between three Jose-style gain structures, and Plexi and Fat switches sit alongside it. There are two styles of master volume (M.V.C.) and two switchable global Presence controls, which Friedman uses to move the amp between vintage and modern voices. A bypassable effects loop brings modern pedals and processors into the chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jose-20 Head on this run is the same idea at 20 watts on two EL84s, in a 22.5 lb box. The Jose-100 has the full 100-watt EL34 power section, at 29 inches wide and 47 lbs. Next to the BE-100 Deluxe, which runs the same power tubes across three switchable channels, the Jose-100 is built around one jumpered input and its Gain Style switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAMPLIFIER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: United States\u003cbr\u003eType: 100-Watt All-Tube Head\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Inspired by the amplifier mods of Jose Arredondo\u003cbr\u003eTransformers: Custom, USA-Made Transformers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTUBES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower Tubes: 4 X EL34\u003cbr\u003ePreamp Tubes: 4 X 12AX7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTROLS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGain: Gain control\u003cbr\u003eChannel 1: Volume (Lead spec channel)\u003cbr\u003eChannel 2: Volume (Normal spec channel)\u003cbr\u003eChannel Jumpering: Internal\u003cbr\u003eMaster Volume: 2 styles of M.V.C. controls\u003cbr\u003eSwitches: Plexi, Fat and Gain style switches\u003cbr\u003eEQ: Bass, Middle, Treble\u003cbr\u003ePresence: 2 different switchable Global Presence controls\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONNECTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEffects Loop: Bypassable transparent Effects Loop\u003cbr\u003eSpeaker Outputs: 4, 8, And 16-Ohm Impedance Jacks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 29” x 8.5” x 11.5”\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 47 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Friedman","offers":[{"title":"Black Tolex","offer_id":47784817819732,"sku":"FRD-JOSE-100-HEAD","price":5449.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/FRIEDMAN-ARREDONDO-FRONT_sq.jpg?v=1791564167","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/friedman-jose-100-head","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
