FRIEDMAN BE-100 DELUXE [100W HEAD] (Friedman)

The top-of-the-line model "FRIEDMAN BE-100 Deluxe" loved by top professional guitarists!

The Dave Freedman-designed BE Circuit has been accepted and recognized as the epitome of classic British guitar tone for over a decade, but in recent years its reputation for superb tone has grown even more, making the BE-100 the most sought-after 100-watt boutique amp. The newly designed BE-100 Deluxe takes the BE Circuit to a whole new level, just as its little brother, the BE-50 Deluxe, did.

Inheriting all the amazingly flexible and gorgeous-sounding tonal characteristics of the original BE-100, this new Deluxe model finally offers three fully independent channels. New gain and master on the HBE channel, a new Plexi Clean channel borrowed from the coveted Smallbox amp, and new response, frequency, and thump knobs are just some of the features at your disposal with this new flagship Dave-designed amp.

[BE and HBE overdrive channels]
Friedman's BE and HBE drive channels are renowned for their high-gain crunch, transparency, and nuance, but this new Deluxe model now features two independent gain and master channels, allowing for greater freedom of expression in each circuit.
[Smallbox Plexi Channel]
This BE-100 Deluxe model boasts an all-new clean channel inspired by the Plexi channel of Smallbox amps, which not only produces great clean tones but also lets you harness the iconic Plexi tone character with gain, volume, and 3-band EQ controls.

Flexible Master Section
The BE-100 Deluxe model not only offers three preamp channels with all the controls you need, but also a fully-featured power section to power them. Its incredible flexibility begins with the front panel, where you can adjust the overall tone of the amp using the presence knob, a three-position switch for frequency and response, and a thump control.
Each player has their own unique personality, but these controls can be thought of as a power amp EQ, allowing you to more finely tailor the overall tone of the power section to your preferred tone.

[Highly transparent effects loop]
Using an effects loop can sometimes degrade your tone, but this Dave Friedman-designed, most transparent effects loop ever made eliminates that problem for guitarists. You'll forget you have an effects loop at all.
