Friedman DS40

Friedman amps are not necessarily my favorite amps, but this one is a gem, if you look for beautiful vintage Rock, if not to say, AC/DC, ZZ Top tones, which are based on iconic JTM/JMP sounds.

Due to the 6L6 power amp the DS sounds different to a typical Plexi, but in a positive way, is no 1:1 copy, but a slightly different interpretaion of the theme, I would say.

Soundwise I personally prefer it over the BE-100, because of the beautiful, organic, more vintage voiced crunch to overdrive Classic Rock sounds.
