Jose Arredondo 100-Watt Guitar Amplifier Head Item Description
Jose Arredondo (1923–1994) stands as a true pioneer, whose legendary work on classic British amplifiers ignited the high-gain revolution and continues to inspire players worldwide. For years, Dave Friedman has admired and studied the nuances of these celebrated modifications. The Friedman / Arredondo JOSE head is the culmination of that admiration, meticulously capturing the essence of Arredondo’s sought-after sonic magic within a brand-new Friedman design.
The JOSE is a 100-watt, EL34-powered head designed to faithfully deliver the iconic high-gain tone and feel associated with Jose Arredondo’s groundbreaking amp mods. A three-way Gain Style switch offers access to three distinct Jose-style gain structures, taking this powerhouse into the tonal realms once dreamed of by the guitar heroes of the high-gain rock era.
Combined with a Fat switch and dual Presence controls, the JOSE offers deep tonal sculpting and unmistakable “Jose mod” character—harmonically rich, saturated, and fiercely articulate.
While rooted in Jose Arredondo’s original design ethos, the JOSE brings those classic tones into the modern era. An internally jumped input stage simplifies gain staging, while a bypassable effects loop allows seamless integration of modern pedals and processors. The unique dual Presence controls further tailor the amp’s character—shifting its voice between vintage and modern tones with precision.
