Hey, everyone! I had some questions regarding pairing Fender ish clean tones with the Friedman’s— NOT at the same time, but as channel switching.
A couple observations; maybe I’m late to the party, but are the Friedman’s dark and sizzly amps? I’m finding that I need to turn the bass down to around 3 and the depth down to around 2 to make it not so congested in the low end/mids. (On a side note, it seems the Herbie CH2+ is kind of the Friedman HBE with more mids and clarity, at least to my findings when boosting treble and turning the gain down to around 3-4; that’s a fun amp!)
Back on topic, the problem I seem to be having is getting a good Fender clean tone from say a Twin or a Super with overdrives and having that work well when switching to the Friedman; it’s fine when switching between a clean Fender and the Friedman, but when I use overdrives with the Fender, it’s much more midrangey with less top end, and then the Friedman sounds dark, scooped, and sizzly.
Is this anyone else’s findings? How do you guys pair amps like this to play well with each other sonically so it doesn’t sound like two drastic different shades?
