Hey X-Mann!
Greetings to Detroit from Munich, Germany. I am Thomas.
I just created my account and saw your posts. I am delighted by your enthusiasm. Why?
Here we go!
I got my Friedman Runt 50 some weeks ago and instantly fell in love with this amp. Very 'rich' clean sound and best drive sound ever (for Classic Rock), a well chosen combination by Dave Friedman.
I did try a couple of drive pedals, very well sounding indeed, e.g. TS808, Archer Klon, Audio Walrus Voyager. However, I hate the switching of channel and effect pedals, delay on/off etc. patch cables everywhere, a good power supply costs decent money, so does the pedal board.
So I checked out for a good Multi-FX and a friend proposed the FX8 to me. After some consideration and information by the friendly German FAS distributor I just ordered the FX8 today. So I will have the same combination of gear. I play a Music Man Luke III BFR in case you are interested.
So I am very happy to read about your experience and that the drive block especially works well. I have no fear that reverb, delay and chorus won't be great, but the dynamics of a good analogue drive seems difficult for me to get into a model.
So for now, just a Hello from good old Germany. In case you are interested to get in contact, please reply.
Best, Thomas
P.S. The amp I had before was a Friedman Small Box 50, pretty decent amp, but the Runt 50 is truly my Baby.
