A new Chapter in Friedman's Tone Legacy
The JOSE represents a significant addition to the Friedman family, acknowledging the profound influence of classic modified amplifiers on Dave's own tonal signature. This amplifier captures the spirit of innovation and the pursuit of ulitmate tone that both Dave Friedman and Jose Arredondo embodied.
Authentic "Jose Mod"
The JOSE is a 100watt, EL34-powered head designed to faithfully deliver the iconic high-gain tone and feel associated with Jose Arrendondo's groundbreaking amp mods. A three-way Gain Style switch offers acces to three disctinct Jose-style gain structures, taking this powerhouse into the tonal realms once dreamed of by the guitar heroes of the high-gain rock era. Combined with a Fat switch and dual Presence controls, the JOSE offers deep tonal sculpting and unmistakable "Jose Mod" character - harmonically rich, saturated, and fiercely articulate.
Enhanced Tonal Versatility
While rooted in Jose Arredondo's orignal design ethose, the JOSE brings those classic tones into the modern era. An internally jumped input stage simplifies gain staging, while a bypassable effects loop allows seamless integration of modern pedals and processors. The unique dual Presence controls further tailor the amp's character - shifting it's voice between vintage and modern tones with precision.
Built to Friedman's exacting standards, the JOSE is engineered to meet the demands of any stage or studio. It's modern high-gain workhorse that honors the legacy of a true amplifier pioneer.
