Hello everyone, i just got an ss-100 and i love the amp, it just has this loud hum and gets really hot, like alot hotter than my jj-100. The standby switches are very hot after a while of playing. Is this normal for this model? It hums alot louder and heats up a lot more than my other friedman...
get the JJ, for that price you wont regret it, I see used ones going for 3k so at 2700 you could sell it anyway. I have one and love it!!! Also, Guitar center is blowing out SS100's for a crazy low price just to move them (1,999), that would be different than a BE 100.

I played both the runt and smallbox and pink taco and the sound was good , not great but the feel of the amps were very different. The runt seemed much more stiff and harder to play than the small box and pink taco. That was the feeling I got anyway.
good comments, I have a JJ-100, so the big bad ass amp is covered, I did want a small box because I love the clean channel but felt the dirty channel didn't quite get me there, I like the taco because I already have a 100 watt. I just wanted opinions on those who have played both.
For those of you who have the BE-100 amp and have played or bought the new be-od pedal,
Is the pedal good enough for you to sell your friedman be-100 amp? Do you regret buying an almost 4k amp to have a pedal get extremely close? Is it extremely close? I have heard great clips. I am...
