Friedman Little Sister Head

Weight: 22 lbs.

Overview

The Friedman Little Sister Head delivers the unmistakable British-inspired voice that has become synonymous with Dave Friedman's amplifier designs in a compact 20-watt format. Powered by a pair of EL84 output tubes and built around a straightforward single-channel layout, it offers a broad range of tones—from articulate cleans to rich vintage-inspired overdrive—all through responsive all-tube circuitry.

Designed for players who appreciate simplicity without sacrificing versatility, the Little Sister features custom switching options to tailor its gain structure and top-end response, along with a transparent series effects loop and multiple speaker impedance outputs. Hand-assembled in Los Angeles with custom transformers and capacitors, it's built for reliable performance on stage, in the studio, and at home.
