Description

Description

Friedman's acclaimed Twin Sister amplifier was designed for guitar players seeking a vintage, classic rock tone inspired by the game-changing British tube amps from the '60s and '70s. Now, this popular model has received an update. Say hello to the Twin Sister's successor — the Little Sister!

A British-Voiced, Single-Channel Brute!

The Friedman Little Sister is a 20-watt, EL84-powered, 1×12" amplifier combo based on it's 40-watt predecessor — capable of delivering the signature hot-rodded UK sounds that Friedman amps are known for. It features a single channel that gives you everything from gorgeous sparkling cleans to a glorious old-school crunch.

Despite its simplicity, the Little Sister is surprisingly versatile and can be employed for many styles of music — from blues to rock and country — all by just adjusting the gain and master, S-Switch (gain structure) and B-Switch (Bright/Tight). Trust us, the Friedman Little Sister will impress you with all of the different tones available! It's a real screamer that you can easily transport to rehearsals or gigs, thanks to its compact proportions.

Perfect Pedal Platform

While being flexible enough to cater for most genres from its single-channel design, the Little Sister can also be treated like a blank canvas for your stompboxes! It takes boosts and overdrives incredibly well, while the ultra-transparent series effects loop handles your time-based effects and modulation pedals with ease.

Made in the USA

The Little Sister boasts the classy aesthetics and premium build quality that you would come to expect from a Friedman amplifier made in the USA, with the handcrafted cabinetry utilising a tongue and groove Baltic Birch construction that robustly protects the 12" Celestion Creamback G12M-65 speaker and internal circuitry.

You’ll also see modelling and digital amps, built-in effects, footswitches, attenuation solutions, replacement speakers, valves, and essential accessories to keep an amp performing at its best.

They’re easy to transport, simple to set up, and available in a wide range of power ratings, from small practice amps to powerful stage-ready models. Combo amps come in valve, solid-state, hybrid, and digital designs, often with built-in effects and tone controls.

1×12

1×12 refers to a speaker configuration with one 12-inch speaker, most commonly found in guitar amplifiers and speaker cabinets. It offers a balanced combination of clarity, low-end response, and projection, making it a versatile choice for both home use and live performance.

Compared to smaller speaker setups, a 1×12 delivers a fuller sound with more body, while remaining more compact and portable than larger multi-speaker cabinets. It is popular with players who want strong tone and punch without the weight and volume of a 2×12 or 4×12 setup.
