Dave has been building, modding and repairing amplifiers for many of the world\u2019s biggest stars for the past 25 years. Friedman\u2019s innovative designs and meticulous construction have made him legendary in the world of professional touring musicians while earning him a loyal clientele from all over the world. One of Friedman\u2019s mainstays has been modifying amps to each player\u2019s specific tonal palette, and to consult with other established amplifier companies to improve their own designs.<\/p>\n
Dave Friedman\u2019s extensive knowledge and pursuit of tonal superiority inspired him to develop his own series of production amplifiers under the name Friedman Amplification. In the past, having Friedman build or modify your amp required a certain level of notoriety, but now his sonic wizardry is available to everyday players.<\/p>\n
Each Friedman amplifier is built in the U.S.A. to Dave’s exacting standards using hand selected components. After a rigorous burn in process, Dave inspects, tubes, plays and signs the chassis of every amplifier before shipping.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/friedmanamplification.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dave-friedman.jpg” alt=”Dave Friedman” align=”right” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”twoCol” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#c6c6c6″ background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

On a recent trip home, the Friedman crew shot some footage, we\u2019d like to share with you. Detroit is a city with a rich history, not exclusively, but especially, when it comes to music. So it\u2019s no surprise that while growing up there David Friedman was inspired by Detroit\u2019s heady music scene and it\u2019s legacy. Detroit has been the seat for so many iconic musicians that represent a wealth of genres, from the soul and R&B artists that gave it the nickname Motown, to blues, punk, hip hop, pop, rock and it\u2019s even been cited as the birthplace of (believe it or not) electronic dance music. In fact, it\u2019s impossible to talk about American music history without prominently featuring Detroit. In recent decades Detroit has fallen into decay and disrepair. But the heart and soul of Detroit are it\u2019s people, who are unwavering in the task of rebuilding it, and who are certain that it can return to the greatness for which it was once known.

Beyond the images of deteriorating and forgotten places, you can see the gleam of hope, nowhere does it shine brighter than in Detroit. After all it\u2019s the place whose motto, written in 1805, is: \u201cSperamus meliora; resurget cineribus\u201d.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
