Friedman BE 2016

[Everyonesdarling]

Maybe a dum question but i take my chance- how can i tell the difference between a 2015 Friedman BE and the 2016 model? Is there an extra switch or whatever that separates them form each other?

Yes, 4 switches on the front of a '16, 3 on the '15

Totally different amp. I just got mine back from Dave with the 2016 updates. The new BE is flat out killer...

What was the turnaround time?

So what is the main thing that you notice different about the 16 vs the 15 model. I have a 15 and love it.

Hmmm, mine has 5 switches on front....

+1

So what does the 5th switch do?

5th switch starts the self destruct sequence

5th switch is a high/ low voltage switch like the Phil X. Makes BE even more raw.

I like that i should request to Mr friedman to do that to my BE... "Redplate" how the 5th "High/Low" switch affect the clean channel sound and Feel?

So this is pretty much a Hairy Brown Eye → Holy Shitstains mode?

Very dark sounding...is it dialed in that way?

Seeking clarification on this 2016 updated BE-100. I'm seeing a total of 4 swtiches and 5 on the amp in this thread. Does it come STOCK with both the 1) Gain "S"tructure switch AND 2) the "Voltage" switch??

Thanks for the help!
