of a guitar power amp. This way you can crank up a (tube) guitar power 

amp to drive it until it starts clipping, and still record at a volume which 

will protect your hearing and keep the neighbors friendly. A clipping tube 

power amp adds distortion and harmonics to the guitar amp signal and is 

something most guitar players love. A fully cranked up tube guitar amp 

tamed in volume with a power soak will sound different than the same 

amp with the master volume turned down.

We have modeled the behavior of the Friedman tube power amp, so you 

may experiment with different settings of the Master of the amp and the 

internal Power Soak. We recommend a setting of roughly -10dB for most 

scenarios.

Cabinets we used for the Recording 

American 4x12

Mesa Boogie Rectifier® 4fb 280W 4x12 Vintage 30

The STANDARD Rectifier® 4x12 is the “oversized” 4x12, providing 

thundering low-end punch and resonance which is perfectly tuned with 

the smooth, tailored midrange and articulate, clear high-end. This is the 

most popular 4x12 cabinet and an icon in heavy music.

Friedman Buxom Betty 1x12

Friedman Buxom Betty 1x12EXT - 1×12” open-back extension cabinet 65W

The Friedman Buxom Betty 1x12EXT is a 1×12”, open-back extension 

cabinet. A perfect match for the Buxom Betty head, this cab utilizes tongue 

and groove Baltic Birch construction to deliver the bass, mid response 

and great sound you would expect from a Friedman cab.

At the heart of the cab is a Celestion G12M-65 Creamback 16 Ohm speaker. 

The G12M Greenback is the definitive vintage Celestion ceramic magnet 

guitar speaker. When the G12M was developed in the mid-sixties, players 

like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck and Page, who typified the louder and more 

aggressive blues rock-playing styles that came to characterize that era, 

quickly adopted it.
