Friedman be100 2015vs2016

Is it worth waiting to buy 2016 vs 2015 be100?

Well if you can get a '15 at a good price you can always update it if you think it's necessary.

 

[Superunknown]

Get the 2016.

Like they said. I'd get the newer one if possible. But it is very similar to the old one. However if the difference in $$$ is big get the cheapest one

From what I've heard and seen the 2016 offers a low gain mode, and the gain overall is less compressed and brighter. I'm already running my 2015 with the bass up, I don't want the amp any brighter so I'll be sticking with my late 2015 the way it is.

I have a '14 BE, and have ZERO interest in sending it in for updates. Sounds great. I also like the fact that mine will sound different then the new ones that flood the market. I prefer early JCM 800's as well...

...and next year people will be comparing the 2017 vs 2016 models.

Can really keep some on a fairly continuous buy/sell cycle if they need to have the latest updates/features...

And don't forget about the stores who have stock in the previous version but can't sell them.

The one I played at The Music Zoo had to be a '15 or even '14. I can't imagine changing a single thing on it.

I'm waiting for the fall 2016 version to come out.
