Friedman / Runt 20 Head / Amp For Sale
The Friedman Runt is the latest in small sized amplifiers from the boutique kings of British rock tones. Handmade in the USA this premium little amplifier has 20w of all valve power running through a single 1x12 speaker which may not sound like much but wait until you heard the volume and feel the low end coming out of this little thing. 2 Channels The heart and soul of any Friedman amp is in the overdrive. While they do replicate the best of classic black and gold British clean tones with a modern twist as well, the overdrive is where Friedman really shine. With 2 channels you get the best of both worlds in this amp with a powerful and loud overdrive channel as well as a beautiful midrange heavy clean channel that man rockers love. Crystal Clear There are two problems with a lot of smaller amps. One of the big ones being lack of string definition when using a lot of gain. While a lot of classic rock and metal styles don't mind losing out on that for the extra distortion some modern players want clarity in their notes. By using the cleanest signal path possible Friedman have managed to tune the Runt so you can hear every individual note even in massive chords. This also helps single note lines really push the amp and sing. Plenty Of Power The other big issue with smaller amps is that generally they lack a lot of the low end, midrange and volume that guitarists need. Not with the Runt. Even at 20w this amp is very, very loud. Honestly I can't think of many situations where this wouldn't have enough power as by the time you run out of volume you would already be using a mic on the cab...or maybe not with this amp. Cab Sim Out Wait what? A cab sim out on a boutique amp like this? Yep Friedman have spent a long time working on this part of the amp to make sure it is usable in every situation unlike some other direct outs. Plus it even has an internal load box so you don't even need to use the speaker. Just set up as normal, plug the XLR in to the back, run that off to front of house and you are ready to rock. With two different 'mic positions', level controls and a ground/lift switch you may be surprised just how many times you use this feature. Pedal Lovers Dream Is there anything this amp doesn't do! This amp loves pretty much any pedal you can chuck at it. From overdrives, boosts and fuzzes in the front end (especially pushing that overdrive channel set to a light crunch), to chorus, reverb, delay, and pretty much anything else in the ultra clear, series effects loop. Everything you would want to use with this amp will sound great. 20w Head Version This is the 20w head version of the Runt. Weighing in at 22lbs this is actually a nicely portable amp that you can easily move from gig to gig. With three 12AX7 preamp tubes and two EL84 power amp tubes you have all of the valve tone and power you could ever need. Just plug this in to one or two cabs using the 1/4 outputs on the back either at 8ohm or 16ohm. Here's what Friedman say about the Runt 20 Head The Runt-20 is a 20-watt all tube head that delivers Friedman's legendary tone and versatility in a compact 2-channel amp. The Runt-20's power section is driven by two EL-84s, with three 12AX7s in the preamp. The simple clean channel features a volume knob and 3-position bright switch that delivers anything from pristine cleans to a slightly broken-up tone, which is great for blues and country. The heart and soul of the Runt-20 is the overdrive channel, which takes you from classic rock to all-out assault. Use the Boost switch and Gain knob to dial in the perfect amount of overdrive. A global presence control shapes the high-frequency response of the Runts power section. The Runt delivers the tight bottom end and midrange that is typically only found in much higher-wattage amps by utilizing custom transformers and the cleanest signal path possible. The Runt is ideal for many styles of music from blues to classic rock and heavy metal by merely adjusting the gain and master controls. Plugging into the Runt, you will instantly notice the harmonically rich detailed chords and resonating single note lines. This amp cleans up exceptionally well with the guitar's volume knob, even with the amp on higher gain settings. This is the first amp Dave Friedman has ever made with an internal load and cab-simulated XLR output. Comparing this analog circuit to some of the most intricate computer-based IRs, Dave achieved a direct output you can proudly send to front of house or use in the studio. The Runt also allows you to play silently, meaning you can safely play the amp WITHOUT having a speaker cabinet connected. The XLR output includes a ground-lift, level, and center/edge of speaker cone simulation switches. The Runt was designed to take pedals well, and it loves boosts, ODs, phasers, flangers, tremolos, and wahs. The ultra-transparent no tone loss, buffered, series effects loop takes time-based effects pedals and rack units equally well. The head cabinet features beautiful black Tolex, with Baltic Birch construction, and is built to withstand the rigors of the road.
