The Freidman SS 100 sounding absolutely killer, definitely the best built amp at NAMM!!

The new Freidman twin channel attenuator looks very cool as well, it's on top of Billy Morrison's BE-100 amp.
Hats off the Dave and George for producing such a killer amp:

Reception for Stevens amp has been very good. Rightfully so, it's an amazing amplifier! Really fun to test it before shipping off the LA.
Always great to see my friend Reinhold, and share a Scotch with Brad.

The new attenuator is the best I've heard. Glad to see makers are finally adding a second volume setting. I was modding Power Brakes to do this back around 2003.

NAMM was cut short for me, unfotrunately. I woke uo Saturday very sick. The NAMM curse finally got me. Flew home Sunday (worst travel experience ever) and seen the doc Monday. Three different infection (ear, nose and throat) and inflamed lungs.
I'm on a battery of meds now, three prescription and four over the counter products. Also, vitamin C and Zinc.
Still feeling awful, resting.

It's a shame, I had much more to see and do in Anaheim. I missed some important meetings. And, some good friends.

I'm hearing from friends and seeing on Facebook that many people came down sick during or just after the show this year. I hope I wasn't a catalyst for speading this crap. I was using hand sanitizer the whole trip, as usual. But suspect this may be airborne. NAMMthrax!

Here is the new STFU attenuator from Friedman, Pete Thorn was using it with a Friedman BE-100 head at the pre-NAMM Tone Merchants/Friedman show with Steve Stevens.
