Friedman logo

For many guitarists, the name Dave Friedman doesn’t have the cachet of, say, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens or Jerry Cantrell. Yet without Friedman’s helping hand, Van Halen, Steve Stevens and Cantrell—as well as a host of other guitar heroes—wouldn’t sound as amazing as they do onstage or in the studio. Through his company, Rack Systems, Friedman has been building, modding, and repairing gear for some of the world’s biggest stars for the past 25 years. Rack Systems specializes in high-grade, roadworthy switching systems, large rack-mount and pedalboard rigs.  Friedman’s innovative designs have made him legendary in the world of professional touring musicians, and the meticulous construction of his Rack Systems gear has earned him a loyal clientele from all over the world.

One of Friedman’s services for years has been modifying amps to each individuals specific tonal pallet.  Friedmans extensive experience in this area has not only helped him create great rigs for top players and made his mods so sought after, it has inspired him develope a brand-new series of production amplifiers under Friedman Amplification. This is a first for Friedman, who is normally accustomed to working with major acts on a one-on-one basis. In the past, having Friedman build or mod an amp for you required a level of notoriety, but now his sonic wizardry is available to everyday players.
