Overview

A heavy-hitting tone monster that's ready for the stage.

Session and touring guitarist Phil X is the go-to guy for heavyweights like Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, Bon Jovi, Avril Lavigne and Tommy Lee. Phil is particular about his tone to say the least and would settle for nothing less than perfection when collaborating with a builder for his new signature amp. Enter Dave Friedman; sound architect to some of rock's most recognizable superstar names and their iconic tones.

To satisfy wild man Phil X's thirst for sonic superiority, Friedman served up a single channel 100-watt beast simply dubbed the Friedman Phil X. This EL34-powered rock machine is more than just a guitar amp - it is the sound dreams are made of. This versatile amp will allow you to go from a dynamic clean tone to a crunchy rhythm sound by merely rolling on the guitar's volume knob. Take it to the stratosphere by kicking in the foot-switchable boost for a searing lead tone. The front panel also features a gain structure switch to further dial in your sound. Combine all that with a handy line out and the ultra transparent series effects loop, and you've just punched your ticket to aural nirvana.

The hand-crafted, hand-wired in the U.S. Phil X head features black Tolex encasing the tongue and groove Baltic birch construction and is built to withstand the rigors of the road.

Handwired in the USA.

FRIEDMAN HISTORY:
Dave Friedman is the man behind the signature tones of rock icons Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens and Jerry Cantrell. Dave Friedman has been building, modding and repairing amplifiers for many of the world's biggest stars for the past 25 years. Friedman's innovative designs and meticulous construction have made him legendary in the world of professional touring musicians while earning him a loyal clientele from all over the world. One of Friedman's mainstays has been modifying amps to each player's specific tonal palette, and to consult with other established amplifier companies to improve their own designs.

Dave Friedman's extensive knowledge and pursuit of tonal superiority inspired him to develop his own series of production amplifiers under the name Friedman Amplification. In the past, having Friedman build or modify your amp required a certain level of notoriety, but now his sonic wizardry is available to everyday players.
Each Friedman amplifier is hand-wired in the U.S.A. using only hand selected components. You can buy with confidence because Friedman Amps are designed and built to last a lifetime.
