The Little Sister is an adventurous new addition to Friedman’s British-style family, packing all the classic rock power and punch of its larger siblings into an effortlessly giggable 20-watt 1 x 12-inch combo! Two EL84 power tubes capture the magic chime, jangle, and overdrive bite of the ’60s and ’70s most beloved British tube amps, and while it may be designed primarily for screaming classic rock tones, Sweetwater guitarists find that the Little Sister has much more to say than just that! A 3-band EQ, S-switch (gain structure), and B-switch (Bright/Tight) make this pint-sized combo a tonal chameleon, effortlessly tackling everything from swampy country to rich blues tones. Finally, the Little Sister is an exceptional diminutive pedal platform, complete with an Ultra-transparent series FX loop to handle your time-based effects, modulation, and rack units without even a hint of noise or tone loss.
If it’s tonal range you’re after, the Little Sister has it in spades, sporting a myriad of sound-shaping options to carve out your new signature sound. The 3-band Bass/Middle/Treble EQ certainly offers a sweeping range of different tones, but it’s only the beginning of this amp’s adjustability. Looking to crank up the articulation? Flip on the B-switch (Bright/Tight) for a pleasing boost to your high frequencies that also tightens up your lows. Beyond that, the S-switch is perfect for quickly changing the intensity of your gain structure, from a light bark to singing saturation!
Designing a compromise-free FX loop is no easy task — unwanted noise, tone suck, and signal drop are all significant hurdles that any loop must face. That being said, leave it to Friedman’s amplifier innovation to remedy these all-too-common issues with a bold take on the FX loop: the Ultra-transparent Series FX Loop. As the name suggests, this design allows you to line up your favorite time-based effects, modulation pedals, and even rack units into your Little Sister’s FX loop with the utmost tonal integrity!
