I've had a BE-100 for a few years now. Since the manual and Dave both advise running the loop level around 9, I did that and used the Master as volume. At gigs, the signal would be too hot and I would get feedback. I'd turn down the bass/gain and still get squealing at loud volumes without an OD...

I'm looking to sculpt my Smallbox tone a bit. Has anyone ever tried a Mesa/Boogie 5-band EQ pedal?

I currently own a BE-100 and a Smallbox WildWood. Can anyone confirm if the WW's Ch. 3 is the same as Smallbox Ch. 2 w/ Sat switch mod? Wondering if it would be worth it to get a Sat switch added to the Smallbox... but not if redundant. Thanks!

At rehearsal last night, volume was dropping in/out of my Smallbox. I pulled the cables out of the EX loop and the tone returned, no drops. Just wanted to confirm with you all that it is a 12AX7 effects loop tube... and I can just swap it out. Thanks!

I have both the BE-100 and a Smallbox... and a 2x12 and a 4x12 (both Friedman's). The 4x12 just doesn't get the saturation and breakup that the 2x12 gets. I have an outdoor gig coming up (loud classic rock: VH, Rush, etc.) and I'm leaning towards the 2x12. How much will being outdoors change my...

Has anyone here tried the Fryette with the SmallBox? There are so many attenuaters these days, wondering if one is better suited to the SmallBox versus the others and what your sonic experiences have been.

What kind of OD's are you all using with your Smallbox? Interested in hearing experience with Archers, OCD, Smallbox pedal, or any others that add just that little sizzle to get you over the finish line. Or do you run your SB with more distortion from the pedal? Thanks!

I've owned a BE100 for a couple years, love it. I ordered a SmallBox WildWood that arrived a few days ago and am loving that too. I've been playing seriously for 38 years (I'm 51) and played Mesa/Boogies for most of that time. Setting the bass control on those amps above 2 is unheard of because...

Is there a site or location to see the custom color tolex options? Thanks!

When off standby (power on), my BE-100 has a loud humming on all channels/modes, plugged straight into amp, no pedals, FX Loop switched on or off. Has anyone had this issue before? Preamp tube? Thanks!

I am hearing a popping noise, sometimes sounds like static, every few seconds at any volume (although it's more audible at lower volume) when playing. Not sure if this is a tube issue or not. Anyone experienced this before? How did you fix it? I'm hoping preamp tube at the worst. Thanks!

After getting my BE-100 a couple weeks ago, I grabbed a Mesa Recto 2x12. Not very happy with the boomy bass, honkeriffic mids, ice-picky treble. Returned it instead of swapping speakers and ordered a Friedman 2x12 (also V30's). For those that have done this (Mesa 2x12 to Friedman 2x12), were you...

Got my (first) BE-100 and am about to order a Friedman 2x12. My question is; which speaker(s) provide the best Van Halen tones? Sounds like some are partial to V30's while others go for a mix of speakers. Early 80's VH is what I'm after. Thanks!! Currently playing through a Mesa old style metal...
