Our take

Who this one is for

The Runt-50 Combo puts Friedman's two-channel, 50-watt Runt circuit over a 16 ohm, 12" Celestion G12H Redback. Power comes from two EL-34s, with four 12AX7s in the preamp. The clean channel has volume, bass, treble and a three-position bright switch, and covers clean through a slightly broken-up blues or country tone. The overdrive channel, with its Boost switch and Gain knob, runs from classic rock into metal, and Friedman says it cleans up with the guitar's volume knob even when the gain is up.

The cab-simulated XLR output (ground lift, level, center/edge speaker switch) sends a direct signal to the desk or the studio while the speaker keeps working on stage. The series effects loop is buffered, and the front end was built to take boosts, overdrives, phasers, flangers, tremolos and wahs.

The Runt-50 Head is the same amp without the speaker, and 20.5 pounds lighter at 31 lbs. The Runt-20 Combo is the smaller sibling: EL-84s, a G12M Creamback, a simpler clean channel, and an internal load that lets it run silently through the XLR with no speaker connected.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses our bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
