Friedman pink taco
The Friedman Pink Taco is an EL84 powered modded Marshall style amp. It's 20 watts, single channel and while the controls are fairly minimal, the tones are massive. Amp was set to a variety of medium to higher gain settings and all the way to cranked. I didn't really mess with getting a clean tone because that isn't really what this amp is about. It's a small amp with a big sound you can crank and get great tones without killing people miles away.
Mics used were my usual suspects - vintage unidyne SM57, Heil PR20, Telefunken M81, Audix i5, Ribbon w/Focusrite preamp. However, my notes were lost as far as which mic goes to which profile. Suffice to say it's my typical wide variety of tones, just not named in the notes. The tones are there, and while I do wish I had the notes, personally I think the focus should be on how these sound and not which mic is which profile. There are 39 total profiles.
So if you want to hear some EL84s ripping some Marshall tones - here's your amp! Enjoy.
