What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

Roar.

No, not Katy Perry. Pure, hot-rodded Marshall-style roar.

Being a big fan of hot-rodded Marshall style amps, I can say that I was incredibly excited to find out we were getting this one in. After being able to plug in, I knew my excitement was justified.

Plugging in a Suhr Modern, I found the BE-100 to be an absolute joy to play through. The response alone was incredible - a tight, fast response for rhythm playing, yet for single-note melodies, each note had a healthy weight to it, making me feel completely connected to a living, breathing, behemoth of a 100-watt amp. Tonally speaking, the amp covered everything from clean to blues to a searing lead tone that would grab the attention of any of your favorite 80’s guitarists.

This is an amp that will happily cut through a dense mix and will never become overly harsh or brittle, even with excessive gain. You can see these amps on stages around the world, and it’s no secret why.

Manufacturer's Description from Other

The Friedman BE100 is a hand-wired, 100-watt, EL34 powered, multi-channel British-style amp. By merely adjusting the gain and master volume controls, the BE100 can produce a variety of tones, seamlessly transitioning from blues to classic rock or hard rock to metal. To say it is British-styled is just the start of describing this inspiring tone machine.

The BE100 is a critically acclaimed amplifier created for the many musicians who have longed for the Friedman sound in a 100-watt format, as seen on the stages of superstars like Alice in Chains, Pink, Bon Jovi, The Cult, and Foo Fighters.

Plug into to the BE100 and you will instantly notice the huge, tight low-end and rich harmonically detailed chords at any volume, made possible by Friedman’s superior Master Volume control.

Single notes take on that Holy Grail singing quality all guitarists strive to attain but rarely can through most amps. The BE100 cleans up remarkably well with the guitar’s volume control, even with the amp on higher gain settings. For a more dramatic clean sound, switch over to the clean channel and dial in the bass, treble and three-way bright switch tone shaping controls.

All 3 modes (BE, HBE, CLEAN) can be accessed from the amp’s front panel or from the included 2-button footswitch. The BE100 was designed to take pedals and loves boosts, OD’s, phasers, flangers, tremolos and wahs, while the brand new ultra-transparent series effects loop handles your time-based effects pedals and rack units.
