    This one is actually for julian who started a great thread “Bring Back The Freedom Amp”. Maybe a few votes will help the cause.

    Electro-Harmonix does have a recent Freedom amp on sale however it is not the beast that the classic Freedom amp was.

    So the Freedom amp(s) in question here would be 60W of raw Electro-Harmonix power equipped with one EH speaker and run on mains or batteries. The series would include one Freedom amp for guitar, one for bass, one for acoustic instruments and vocals, then a Dirt Road amp, and, to finish, a twin speaker amp good for keyboards, as in playing classic Fender Rhodes in the park, on a mountain, on the beach…..gig freedom. And the batteries could be designed to be solar charged.

    60W RMS from a decent amp in a solid enclosure and with a powerful speaker (CTS, EHX, ATC) is extremely loud, believe me. The twin speaker Freedom amp I have here at home is so loud that even when I have the volume on 1.5 there is no way the neighbours or the windows are going to stand up to it. To have a vague idea, just listen to “Wagram Jam”, on the Vibrarock link below, where I used the 1 speaker Freedom amp, back in the ’70s. And turn up the volume so you can enjoy the live aspect of the sound. That Freedom amp toured with me for quite a while, and it could basically cut through anything, and take a number of pedals, including the Octave Multiplexer put through a Hog booster and a Black Finger occasionally pepped up by a Screaming Tree. And we did play loud.
