Product Description

Friedman Runt-20 - 20-watt Tube Head (RUNT-20)

Friedman Runt-20 - 20-watt Tube Head


The Runt-20 is a 20-watt all tube head that delivers Friedman's legendary tone and versatility in a compact 2-channel amp. The Runt-20’s power section is driven by two EL-84s, with three 12AX7s in the preamp. The "simple" clean channel features a volume knob and 3-position bright switch that delivers anything from pristine cleans to a slightly broken-up tone, which is great for blues and country. The heart and soul of the Runt-20 is the overdrive channel, which takes you from classic rock to all-out assault. Use the Boost switch and Gain knob to dial in the perfect amount of overdrive. A global presence control shapes the high-frequency response of the Runts power section. The Runt delivers the tight bottom end and midrange that is typically only found in much higher-wattage amps by utilizing custom transformers and the cleanest signal path possible. The Runt is ideal for many styles of music from blues to classic rock and heavy metal by merely adjusting the gain and master controls.

Plugging into the Runt, you will instantly notice the harmonically rich detailed chords and resonating single note lines. This amp cleans up exceptionally well with the guitar’s volume knob, even with the amp on higher gain settings.This is the first amp Dave Friedman has ever made with an internal load and cab-simulated XLR output. Comparing this analog circuit to some of the most intricate computer-based IRs, Dave achieved a direct output you can proudly send to front of house or use in the studio. The Runt also allows you to play "silently," meaning you can safely play the amp WITHOUT having a speaker cabinet connected. The XLR output includes a ground-lift, level, and center/edge of speaker cone simulation switches.The Runt was designed to take pedals well, and it loves boosts, ODs, phasers, flangers, tremolos, and wahs. The ultra-transparent no tone loss, buffered, series effects loop takes time-based effects pedals and rack units equally well. The head cabinet features beautiful black Tolex, with Baltic Birch construction, and is built to withstand the rigors of the road.

Friedman Runt 20 Head

What an Amazing amp!! I had the Double J jr and it was cool but the lead channel was dark. Great for Jerry type of grinding rhythm but for me, I needed more tonal flexibility. The Runt 20 has a simple, yet beautiful clean channel. The lead channel is articulate and can go from light crunch to most classic and modern Rock. The effects loop is wonderful and the XLR/cab sim is a dream come true. I can go to practice or the gig with a guitar over my shoulder, small amp in one hand and pedal case in the other. It's super light weight and looks very cool

Dave Friedman stands behind all of his gear and actually answers emails. I've emailed him on more than one occasion with something small, yet he always finds the time to reply.

As someone who buys and sells a lot of amps, this one is a keeper and my main amp.

My first Friedman. WOW!

Bought the Runt 20 after a friend bought the 50. Reading reviews about Friedman amps they talk about 'touch response' and 'dynamics' and I didn't get it till I got mine. It's clear, responsive and a joy to play.

I own an EVH 5150iii EL34 and Revv G20 and the Friedman is now my number 2 over the Revv. Just a great amp.

Havent tried it with pedals yet but I'm sure the Runt will be great with that too! Been playing with the Les Paul and I'm excited to try my Charvel DK and Strat.

Friedman Runt 20

Finally I have the sound it my head. I have been playing for 33 years. Years ago I had a Marshall JCM stack and it was the bomb. For some reason that one sounded better than any other I"ve played but it burned up. I have owned multiple Marshall"s and plenty of Fenders. Along with a host of others. I finally tried a Friedman and couldn"t sleep until it was mine. I tried the 20 and 50. It was a hard choice but money"s a factor and this baby is plenty loud enough for any gig. My drummer said he can hear every note I play he was floored. All the guys couldn"t believe how good it sounds. I can get any classic rock sound needed just from the drive channel and my volume knob. The clean channel has so much heart it would be worth it for just that alone. Every nuance is heard. Don"t get drunk and sloppy lol. There"s so much here I believe it is the perfect gigging guitarist amp for classic rock , blues or country. I added a reverb in the effects loop. Wow studio quality! Just needed a slight touch in my option. I have a full pedal board and now I"m only using a TS808 for a lead boost but could probably live without that using my volume. I Played a boat load of guitars through it and everyone sounded great. I feel in love with The sound my American special Strat produced. The midrange Texas specials brought tears to my eyes. Of course my Les Pauls, Tele"s and Custom McClouds sounded amazing also. Actually there wasn"t a tone that wasn"t great. Over the last year I have been playing a Special Princeton Reverb Lawyer with 12 inch eminence cannibas speaker. Clean was awesome Fender but I had 5 drive pedals trying to get different tones. This amp easily covers all the sounds I was trying to achieve. Going to be a sale on Pedals.

Great LOUD Amp

I've been doing a bunch of research on this amp but I could never find out how the volume level was with it. I bought one and played a few gigs with it. It can easily get over a drummer and sit into the mix well. Then only kicker is the clean volume needs to be a lot higher than the gain if you want them to be similar. (Like Clean @ 2 oclock, gain @ 9 oclock).

I also plan on using the xlr direct out for smaller gigs where I don't want a cab on stage.
