Friedman 212 cab

Friedman

collapse expand iconDescription

The Friedman 2x12 EXT is a rear-ported 2x12", closed-back extension cabinet. It utilizes tongue-and-groove Baltic birch construction to deliver the bass, mid response and great sound you would expect from a Friedman cab. What you wouldn't expect is how huge this 2x12" sounds.

At the heart of the cab are two Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. The V30s sound has been captured on thousands of recordings from a diverse range of notable players. It features enormously detailed and complex overtones, warm low-end, famously rich vocal midrange and a beautifully detailed top end. This cab delivers a wonderfully intricate Vintage 30 crunch, revealing the complexities found in hand-wired boutique amps.

The power and thump of the V30s create a formidable speaker cabinet that is a perfect match for any Friedman amplifier.

As with all Friedman cabinets, oversized 12-gauge speaker wire is soldered between the speaker and terminal, assuring you capture every ounce of valuable tone. The Friedman 2x12 EXT is handcrafted with pride in the U.S.A. and designed to withstand the rigors of the road.

Handwired in the USA.

Friedman History:
Dave Friedman is the man behind the signature tones of rock icons Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens and Jerry Cantrell. Dave Friedman has been building, modding and repairing amplifiers for many of the world's biggest stars for the past 25 years. Friedman's 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's mainstays has been modifying amps to each player's specific tonal palette, and to consult with other established amplifier companies to improve their own designs.

Dave Friedman's 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.

Each Friedman amplifier is hand-wired in the U.S.A. using only hand selected components. You can buy with confidence because Friedman Amps are designed and built to last a lifetime.

    I paired this with a Magnatone M80 Super 59, and OH MY GOD does it sound amazing... the clean tone actually sounds even better than the dirty tone, which is saying a lot!

  • Absolutely biggest sounding 2x12

    The raw punchiness of this cab is perfect. The low,deep bass it produces is growling yet satisfying & will put a smile on your face. Playing through Friedman heads, the sound is heavenly. Other heads used, Orange or EVH, sound magnificent. The vintage 30s & construction is perfect.

  • This is a high quality cabinet

    I bought this cabinet with the purchase of a new Friedman Runt 20 head and this setup sounds more like a 50 watt half stack. Replaced my Avatar 2x12. Very solid build quality, perfect size, and the V30's with ported design put out a full and balanced tone.
