BE50 Deluxe

[PBGas]

Hopefully you aren’t dealing with a certain store in the GTA. Absolute bafoons! I won’t get into my Friedman issue when I first got my BE-100 back in June of last year from them. Ridiculous and thankfully I got out of that one unscathed.

I went with Ray @ GuitarFXCanada. I picked up a BE-212 from him for my new BE-50 and a Dirty Shirley and Buxom boost pedal for my board that I use for going direct at certain venues.

Outstanding customer service and communication.

re: the response pot. It's probably a 250k that he's already stocking for use as the treble control in all the amps. The 220k resistor turns it into an approx 100k pot, so the effective NFB resistance would go from 27k to 130k or there abouts. And he doesn't have to keep stock of yet another value pot. But what the hell do I know....

And man, am I ever looking forward to hearing one of these amps in person. Just sent an email to the local Friedman dealer to see if they are gonna have any in the new year.
My BE100 is the last version with the Mallory caps, and I never updated it because it just sounds so freakin' good as is! . That may end up being a good move, because now if I pick up a BE50, they'll be different enough to keep both

You are correct, the response pot is 250k. The BE50 quite a different beast (based on the sound, and some tracing out the schemo), much more aggressive capable. It would be worth having both be100, and be50dlx in my opinion.

Thanks for the info
My local Friedman guy hasn't gotten back to me yet. Gotta follow up on this tomorrow.

I've had my BE-50 for about a week. Fantastic amp, and Dave was kind enough to answer some questions I had.

To the fellow owners who record with Two Notes Torpedos, what are you using for cab IRs?

Currently using a Torpedo Studio but that will be for sale shortly. Still an amazing unit but I don’t need it any further as I am using a Cab on my direct board. With the BE-50, I am using the Fred 30 and Fred 25 cabs and have had great success with the Uber cab and the Bogner 212CB cab. I believe that these are all available on the LeBoutique online site within the Remote app from Two-Notes.

Nice work on the response knob! Brilliant!

If the BE50 BE/HBE channels could be voiced to sound like the JJ100 BE/JBE modes I would sell my JJ and get a customized BE50 just to have the Buxom Betty clean channel and the Thump and Response controls. I think that would be my dream amp.
