Friedman Butterslax

Bill Kelliher’s guitar playing is rooted in metal, infused with rock ‘n’ roll, progressive rock and sprinkled with bits and pieces of thrash, punk, and psychedelic-ness. So, when it came time for Mastodon’s guitar player to design the ultimate amp to cover the complexity of his playing, Bill decided to team with long time friend and respected tone guru, Dave Friedman.

The result of this collaboration is the new Friedman Butterslax, a 100w, three channel beast powered by 4 x EL-34s with gain, more gain, extreme gain and some more gain to top it off. But “high-gain” is an over simplification of the Butterslax – what Dave andBill created is a super high gain, ultra tight amp that delivers deep, rich, low-end that will make your pants rattle. Yet, the Butterslax delivers detailed midrange and singing highs that capture every drop of each refined note.

We profiled this amazing amp with a Friedman 4×12 cab equipped with 2 Celestion Vintage 30 and 2 Celestion Greenback speakers.

This pack provides you a wide range of Kemper profiles seeking to re-create the sound and the real soul of this incredible amp.
