Friedman Jose LTD
Friedman · amplifier
The Friedman Jose Ltd is a limited edition all-tube guitar amplifier from Friedman Amplification paying tribute to Jose Arredondo, the amp tech whose Marshall modifications for Eddie Van Halen produced some of the most influential electric guitar tones in rock history. The Jose Ltd recreates the Arredondo-modified Marshall tonality — aggressive, harmonically rich high gain with the character of 1970s Marshall circuits pushed by Arredondo modifcations — in a Friedman boutique hand-wired chassis.
