Friedman Runt-50 50-Watt Tube Head

The Friedman Runt-50 is a 50-watt all-tube amp head that delivers legendary Friedman tone in a versatile 2-channel design. Powered by two EL-34s and four 12AX7s, it offers a rich American-style clean channel with a three-position bright switch for everything from pristine cleans to light bluesy breakup. The overdrive channel is the heart of the Runt-50, offering smooth classic rock tones or all-out aggression with adjustable Gain and a Boost switch. A global presence control shapes the high end, while custom transformers deliver tight lows and midrange typically found in higher-wattage amps. The Runt-50 cleans up beautifully using your guitar's volume knob, even at higher gain settings. It also features a cab-simulated XLR output for direct recording or front-of-house use, with ground-lift and speaker cone simulation options. Designed to take pedals well, its buffered, transparent effects loop works seamlessly with time-based effects. Built with Baltic birch and durable black Tolex, the Runt-50 is road-ready and perfect for blues, rock, and metal players alike.
