Broke my cherry... played a BE-100 for the 1st time!

I know, right??? LOL! Man what a sick amp! played it with a Carvin Jason Becker sig model. Fantastic guitar by the way. Any who... of COURSE I grabbed some iPotato vid of it. It is definitely aggressive enough but I'd say compared to the Butterslax it is a little more "polite". Like if you're a kid acting up at the dinner table at another family's house and you're from the mid-west, it'd give you a stern look and then beat you in the car when no one was looking. The Butterslax would punch you in the face at the table...



It will definitely thrash for days though and was a lot of fun to check out. I couldn't get it SUPER loud but even at just past conversational volume the tone was killer in the room.

Great clippage!! Thanks Jeremy!!!!

Definitely sounds like it's from the Marshall camp moreover many of the other amps I've heard from the Friedman lineup.

Safe to assume this from the clip?

Thanks man! Yeah I would say so. Felt really good while playing. Wish I could have gotten it a little louder but it was at LEAST loud enough to cover the string noise! Really feels like a perfected hot rod Marshall.

So you discovered it has something novel! A MASTER VOLUME that WORKS!

I'll warn you, once you play one...anything else just feels like "settling" for something less.

I gotta pretty healthy stable... but I'll be getting the BE-50 Deluxe for sure!

Nice clip, excellent playing man. Great tones, even at the lower volumes.

Love my BE100.
To be honest, I had my Splawn’s before I got it and between the Friedman and the Splawn QR, I can’t imagine any better tone for “that” sound. Just KILLER

Then again I also recently picked up a used JJ100...and as Ventura will attest, SWEETNESS

No Slax in my stable, but then again I do have some of the Diezel variety as well

Enough fun to be had, thanks for the clip

Hey thanks man! Yeah the QR is awesome. Mine is sold to fund the BE-50 Deluxe... that's the PLAN anyway unless the 2018 BE-100 has the new mods which I hear it will. I LOVE my Dirty Shirley 40. The more I play it the more tones I find in it. I still need to check out a JJ.

I will be at NAMM on behalf of Balaguer Guitars so I will finally get to hear all the Friedman stuff in the same room and make a decision. I also have the Bottle Rocket and Sig: X. Basically a LOT of Marshall type amps but the Friedman stuff really seems to ME to be the perfect Marshall.

I'd love to get my fat little fingers on the BE-50 Deluxe to demo...
