The Friedman Twin Sister Combo is a 2-channel all-tube guitar combo from Friedman Amplification, the combo version of the Twin Sister EF86-driven amp. Two channels built on the Little Sister EF86 circuit architecture provide warm, harmonically complex clean and crunch positions in a self-contained combo format. The vintage British EF86 character applies across both channels with Friedman hand-wired boutique construction.
