Steve Stevens is perhaps one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. He has a pretty unique style that has been molded by dozens of other great guitarists. It's like Eddie VH, Clapton, Hendrix, Page and Michael Schenker went into him...
@@2204JCM TOTALLY. He deserves FAR more recognition. I remember when I first heard Rebel Yell. I blew me away. The energetic melodies are off the charts, in the lead, rythm parts, and, all of the fills. He is a master at those melodic fills!
If you are a real guitar player, you sure as shit know about Steve Stevens. If your an average numb-nut guitar player, you don’t Do your homework fellas There’s loads of “Underrated players out there…
This is a beautiful way to unveil a new amp upgrade. Get the Signature Artist and the Amp designer/creator to: just sit down and have a great conversation. Well done gentlemen, well done!
I ❤ Steve Stevens I been a fan since the 80s ,he has inspired me to learn guitar finally at 59 .Thanks for sharing your talent all these years Steve 🙌🏼
SS...Kickin Butt..! Always has been my favorite..! He has what I call that early LA shredder sound..! Cheers from Newport Beach, CA. 🤙🏿🌊 we met at The Viper room back in the day 🙌🏿🍾🥂
I just picked up this amp and it’s absolutely the very best amp I’ve ever played through. This amp is a gem ….. the best. Thank You Dave add Steve for the best amp ever.
That amp has a lot of midrange. The highs are not harsh, and the bottom-end is not boomy. You know it would sit perfectly in a mix. Sounds clear on those open chords. I like the idea of the colored knobs. Easy to see your settings on a darker stage during a gig.
Very cool! The blackface and multi-colored knobs give this amp a subtle touch that let's you know it's special and of the 80's! Steve Stevens is the man!
Steve is such a mind blowing good player! I’ve purchased all the Idol records & played them to death. Whiplash smile is the best road trip album ever! 🤙🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
@@Terry_Aki ok wish I were more tech savvy but I've heard of those.Well aware off friedmans and wondering if the Jake head was still on the market don't see it @ Sweetwater
@@happygolucky6331 The Jake E. Lee was a limited number of production though many are crossing their fingers for a second run or maybe a 50watt version 🤞🏻
Absolute Top 5 influence for me. The obvious Talent and Skill Set, but also the way a person carries them self reveals their character and I believe S.S. to be solid & intact. I'm Pasadena,CA. born and raised and Growing up in the 1970's & 80's there were a couple of guys from the neighborhood that did OK for themselves and everyone i or my 2 older brothers knew were pretty much Guitarist. Kids in Woodshop were making Guitars, it was something. In the mid-late '70's my older Brother and myself got a little bored with a lot of the Bands and the Jets, the Blow, the 20 minute syndrome. We got into Punk lol. and we ran with it.One of these Bands that i used to like was Generation X with a young Billy Idol. well that fizzled out quickly after a few and there was that MTV era. With a Rebel Yell , More More More. You made it Steve. V2 of one of the finest Amps on Planet Earth. BK Rebel Yell Pickups, Knaggs, Etc. You still got it SS. Good things do happen to good people. Karma. The Amp is Killer. I just love to watch you play. Guitarist watch other Guitarist. A Fisherman always sees another Fisherman or however it goes. Love the Pickup Lesson. Funny you demonstrated that as I'm in a pickup faze and Brian May is another Role Model lol and influence. Jimmy Page and the out of phase thing with those Bends, forget about it. \m/- Sorry, i felt......Nostalgic.
I was alway a fan of Billy Idol, but Steve is really the rock. Now that we get to see so many interviews etc, he's not only one of my favorite players who innovated immensely, but also one of the coolest guys in all rockdom. There's something new I discover about him all the time, almost like every other day, and fanfare from me just continues to grow. This guy has really pushed the envelope with his use of creatively implemented, cutting edge effects... But the skills to back that up in multiple ways, with the effects off ass well. In a world of possible 5 star ratings, the Stevens easily deserves 1000.
Sweet! Those PUps must be wound up in JB territory. The clean channel sounded kinda like the Kermit green pedal we all know and love. Big fan of Steve and his down to earth swagger.
Sounds great on the lower gain settings. I haven't heard a Friedman amp I didn't like yet, the guys's just got the best ears ever when it comes to guitar tone. I think that having a Friedman and a Soldano will cover every Rock Style from the 70's to the 00's. It just doesn't get any better than this
The sound is truly jaw dropping on all levels! Are we hearing a mic’d V30 cabinet or an IR? What about the FX? Is that a DAW delay or reverb added after or pedals? That distorted tone is insane! Thx Dave & Steve!
Yeah, that's a great amp man and Steve Stevens is crazy talented! Congrats!!!
And a cool person too.

Usually when they say someone is underrated its an exaggeration. But in Steve’s case it isn’t.

That is the best sounding amp I have ever heard!! Congrats Steve & Dave!!
Steve is a Bad Ass guitar player and this Amp sounds amazing. The notes jump off that fret board. Wow.
Absolutely. Legendary player. Killer amp.

What a couple of god damned legends. These guys are my heroes. Dave looking in better health these days, if I may say so.
His instrumental album Memory Crash is AWESOME!!
That clean channel is superb. Couldn’t pick a more qualified guitar player to demo a top-shelf piece of gear. Wish I could afford one!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO..
UNCLE~MR.STEVE STEVENS IS IN MY TOP 5 ALL TIME FAVORITE GUITARIST'S...
Sounds killer and Steve has always been underrated and always could smoke some killer licks!
Dave is so good at producing amps with the tone many crave for, while Steve always delivers the goods. Well done gentlemen.
👑So awesome. Congrats guys!
Amazing stuff, as always from these two guys.
two of the greats right there.... especially love how steve incorporates flemenco and jazz styles into his stuff.
Congratulations on this great collaboration!! Steve is one of my fav players since the beginning...💚🎸
Finally! I can get one now. I was waiting for this since NAMM 2020!
Very cool! The blackface and multi-colored knobs give this amp a subtle touch that let's you know it's special and of the 80's! Steve Stevens is the man!
WOW!! That sounds amazing!
Congrats Dave and Steve, the killer collab continues.
Steve is such a mind blowing good player! I’ve purchased all the Idol records & played them to death. Whiplash smile is the best road trip album ever! 🤙🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
same here..and what tone
Whiplash Smile is a gem. Never saw SS play with Idol, but I saw him with Vince Neil in August '93. Opening act for Van Halen!
Dave is the man! Awesome build as always
This dude has never played with bad tone, and Dave hasn't made a bad amp......add those together and there you go, awesome.
Sounds like another killer amp from Friedman maybe they can release a mini version.
With 2 EL34s!

That knob thing is smart make knobs stand out so you can no what color to go for instead of trying to read small wrighting makes total sense
Will you be making a mini version of the SS? Congrats on an epic sounding amp! 🙌🏼

We love ya Steve lay off the marlboros
Great amplifier and great playing as always from Steve.
I’ve been listening to Mr. Stevens since the 80’s. Love his tone and style, and that amp sounds utterly massive to me.
love you Dave and Steve....
Perfect collaboration David & Steve!👌🔥🎸
That Rhythm channel in particular is dialed in so well.
Love watching friedman interviews
That's it... the absolute greatest tone ever! Look no further
So excited for this new amp! Sounds amazing
Amp sounds great and so does Steve’s Rt Hand. What a great player.
Two of the coolest Kats in music business. Awesomeness
Wow Steve! What a killer sounding amp!
I thought he had a toothpick in his mouth. The SS 100 V2 is maybe the best all around amp tone I have ever heard.
@15:40 “not terribly overdriven” proceeds to have a shit ton of gain..lol Love Steve, one of my favorites.
That cracked me up too
Wowsa! Amazing tones and playing.

really great sounding amp. COuld be my fave Friedman yet :)
I've never heard of Steve or any of his music but this man has some chops. Headed to check out some of his songs now..
Tone for days! Sounds awesome!
This is like a meeting of Sonic Jedis. Congrats to you both, I’m filling out my want list.. 🤘🏻
Sounds incredible!
That's an awesome sound and a great player to boot
WoW sounds awesome. Great playing too.
Fucking glorious tone !! And Steve is up there with Luke as far as I’m concerned..awesome musician..and this amp will be mine one day🙏
OMG that sounds KILLER
Sweet sounding amp! Wow i love it.
Congrats Steve! Congrats Dave! This is so awesome- the switchblade of guitar amps.
Awesome work Dave!
Some Tasty Tones for Sure.
Sounds amazing. 🤘
That beast sounds absolutely fucking Amazing .. I thought the jvm 410 was killer till I heard Steve play those 2 chords .
Any amp with more than 4 knobs in a live context does do well with different colored knobs. I did that to my Bogner XTC.
Amazing stuff!😮
Great tone. Great playing.
New amp sounds amazing!!
the sound of the amp in combination with great speaker cabinet is the most important
Amazing sound! Great paired with uber-melodic player, Steve Stevens.
You know its an awesome amp when you can’t find one for sale on the used market🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸
Great stuff guys. Please though could you try to make this in a 20watt type head? I love SS & would love to see you do this.
Sweet! Those PUps must be wound up in JB territory. The clean channel sounded kinda like the Kermit green pedal we all know and love. Big fan of Steve and his down to earth swagger.
Nice work guys!
Dave, I’ll take two. Take my money!
No question, Steve has the best tone ... period.
The original v1 was one of my favorite amps…I hope this version retains everything ‘good’ about that one and doesn’t change the voicing too much
Steve’s the best!
I love this amp!
Sounds freaking awesome! 🤘😎🤘
The living legend himself!

I know Steve is known for his lead work, and his right hand rhythm is sooo tight 🔥😎👌
Great amp and a great player!!!
Awesome playing!!!
love he paid tribute to some iconic liks he made with bozzio levin stevens project
What cabs and speakers does steve use . what ohms does use marshally 16 ohms or 8
I really really want one of these amps.
That amp kicks butt and Steve Steven’s ain’t too shabby either !
Sounds great!
Steve Stevens- Super Sensational
Killer sounding amp, I hope the price doesn't kill my urge to buy it
What a great amp and thats a fact Jack !!
Enjoyed the video!
Sounds great.
Sounds Killer with that Guitar
The sound is truly jaw dropping on all levels! Are we hearing a mic’d V30 cabinet or an IR? What about the FX? Is that a DAW delay or reverb added after or pedals? That distorted tone is insane! Thx Dave & Steve!
Steve's tone is f'ing amazing. No other way to say it.
A modified bare knuckle mule pickup . Very interesting 🤔 no wax very interesting. Sounds huge , SS knows tone.
Look into her eyes by Vince Neil . That’s Steve’s coolest tone ever . Incredible
Love it!!
Wonder what delay/echo he is running. Sounds huge
