Dave Friedman’s personal 1968 JMP Super Lead “Plexi” kicked off his lifelong quest for tone and inspired the entire Friedman Amplification product line – the Friedman PLEX amplifier is the result!
The PLEX is a faithful representation of Dave’s all-time favourite amplifier – that special ‘68 JMP.
Key Features
- Authentic Plexi Tone – This amp is designed to deliver genuine Plexi tonal quality!
- Internal Channel “Jumpering” – This feature lets you easily blend the Lead and Normal channels to perfection with the turn of a control knob.
- Controlled Volume – On a normal Plexi, as the gain increases, so does the volume. Dave’s innovative approach lets you bring the amp back to manageable levels, without sacrificing the tone or dynamic feel!
Dave took great care in defining and utilizing the best modern construction techniques, sourcing the exact parts and finding the perfect tubes to reproduce this amp’s character. The Friedman PLEX is, in Dave’s own words “my favourite.”
Authentic Plexi Tone
The PLEX is a 50-watt, 2-channel, EL34-driven design that meticulously captures the genuine Plexi tone and feel of Dave’s revered 1968 JMP Super Lead. Distinct Lead and Normal channels, each equipped with their own Volume controls.
Internal Channel Jumpering
The Friedman PLEX features internal channel jumpering, replicating the external blending technique used with vintage Plexi amplifiers. It’s a seamless and convenient sound-shaping method that pays homage to the amp’s history.
Tonal Flexibility
Control the vintage style tone with the Presence, Bass, Middle and Treble controls. This tone stack and the inclusion of Hi and Low instrument inputs allows you to sculpt a wide range of sounds and gain levels. The 3-position Bright switch further enhances the PLEX’s flexibility, fine-tuning the amp’s top end to different guitars, pedals, and pickups – perfect to experiment with!
