Friedman SS100-v2 Steve Stevens Sig. 100w Hand-Wired Amp Head

Dave Friedman’s first signature amplifier, the SS-100 was created in 2011 to the exacting tonal demands of guitarist extraordinaire, Steve Stevens. After nearly a decade together, Steve and Dave agreed it was time for an update.

Together, they re-voiced the dirty channels to be more percussive and more dynamic while retaining the high gain plexi-like tones the original was known for. The clean channel, known for high headroom and sparkling cleans, was un-touched (perfection doesn’t need alteration!).

The hand-crafted in the USA, SS-100v2, features a fully redesigned, blacked out Baltic Birch head shell, built to withstand the rigors of the road.

On the front panel you’ll find three channels: a clean with an independent tone stack, a dirty channel and boosted channel sharing a tone stack allowing you to dial in plethora of voicings. Channel switching and boosts are accessed via the front panel or the footswitch jack on the rear panel. That’s also where you will find the ultra-transparent effects loop.

By far, the highlight of this amplifier is its sound. From the gorgeous shimmering cleans to the high gain monster tone that put Steve Stevens on the map, the Friedman SS-100v2 stands in an elite class all its own.
