Friedman Pink Taco V2 Combo, (Used)

The Friedman Pink Taco V2 Combo is a compact guitar amplifier designed to deliver classic British-style tones with modern versatility. It features a 15-watt all-tube power section with EL84 output tubes and three 12AX7 preamp tubes, producing rich harmonics, dynamic response, and natural tube breakup at manageable volumes. Its solid pine cabinet houses a single 12-inch Celestion speaker, optimised for clarity and punch in both clean and overdriven tones, while the cabinet’s construction contributes to the amp’s overall resonance and projection.

The amplifier includes two channels—Clean and Lead—each with independent tone controls and gain structures. The Clean channel offers sparkling, articulate tones, while the Lead channel provides saturated overdrive and smooth distortion suitable for a wide range of rock and blues styles. Additional features include a master volume control, a bright switch for enhancing high-end frequencies, and a bias adjustment for fine-tuning the output stage, allowing players to shape their tone precisely to their preference.

Connectivity options include an effects loop for integrating external pedals, a footswitch input for channel selection, and a line out for recording or direct amplification. The Pink Taco V2 Combo combines the tactile response of a traditional tube amp with modern reliability and compact design, making it suitable for both studio and live performance applications. Its lightweight yet resonant cabinet ensures portability without compromising tonal quality, offering a powerful and expressive amplifier experience in a small format.
