Friedman Amplification Unveils Tour Pro Series Pedalboards

The pedalboards are designed with two tiers: a flat bottom section and an angled top section.

Tour Pro 1525 Gold Package

North Hollywood, CA (May 4, 2017) -- For over 27 years the world’s top guitarists have relied on Dave Friedman for their pro touring effects rigs. From fancy, ultra-complex racks to simple pedal boards, Dave has built them all.

When it came time to design his own line of pedal boards, Dave used all his years of experience to ensure that the Friedman Tour Pro Series has everything a pro guitarist needs.

The made in USA Friedman Tour Pro Series pedal boards are designed with two tiers; a flat bottom section and an angled top section. This two-tier design gives the player instant, easy access to all pedals on the board, without using toe-extending ballerina dance moves to get to them. Also included is a detachable riser for wah and volume pedals which can be mounted in any location on the bottom tier (yes, we thought of left-footed guitar players too).

Analog modulation guided by a digital brain willing to get weird.

Fun, fluid operation. Capable of vintage-thick textures at heavier gain settings. High headroom for accommodating other effects.

MIDI required to access more than one preset—which you’ll probably long for, given the breadth of voices.

If you love modulation—and lots of it—you can eat up a lot of pedalboard space fast. Modulation effects can be super-idiosyncratic and specialized, which leads to keeping many around, particularly if you favor the analog domain. TheKernom Elipse multi-modulator is pretty big and, at a glance, might not seem the best solution for real estate scarcity. Yet the Elipse is only about 1 1/4" wider than two standard-sized Boss pedals side by side. And by combining an analog signal path with digital control, it makes impressive, efficient use of its size—stuffing fine-sounding harmonic tremolo, phaser, rotary-style, chorus, vibrato, flanger, and Uni-Vibe-style effects into a single hefty enclosure. Many of the effects can also be blended and morphed into one another using a rotary control aptly called ā€œmood.ā€ The Elipse, most certainly, has many of those.
