Got the Friedman BE-OD today...

[J-Rocks]

what a great sounding pedal this is and best of all it has a great feel to it and this is with my Blues Junior III, no funky decay noise and very responsive to your guitars volume knob. Only adjustment I made was bring the internal gain pot to 9:00 although the stock 12:00 setting is killer as well but I dont need all that gain.

Here is a little no nonsense clip of how I tested it out: all controls at 12:00 except gain at 9:00, this pedal is well worth the $199 price tag

I used my PRS McCarty into a modified Blues Junior III with a Eminence Texas Heat and a little delay from a Boss DD-3

When you first kicked the pedal in.
My mind thought immediately 'Judas Priest '
Not sure if that's what you were going for.
But man that's the tone.

Sounds very good, none of that can of bees fizz I heard in much of Reza's clip!

You have the set-up I'm going after. Small, simple, but sounds killer, easy to pack'n'play! Sounds great!

I love the portability of this rig I have a larger pine cabinet to re house the BJ on order I should have it next week hopefully, shouldn't add any more weight.

That's what I specialize in. Bee can tones.

Turn up your MVs I have nothing against you, appreciate all the nice demo's you do and enjoy some of them and post so...but did not post in yours cause so many others were digging the tone and it would have been rude, BUT in many of yours clips I hear some fizz or something I don't dig (maybe I need more expensive speakers to listen thru IDK) but I've come to the conclusion that your home vids are all recorded at very, very low volumes and I'm sure the neighbors thank you for that but I really think if you could crank your amps up some this would not be present and they would sound better . Either that or my ear does not dig how you record, but I don't think so considering you have told us you do pro audio for a living! All my favorite amps here in my stable now have some of this fizz at super low volumes so I crank em up cause I can get away with it... they are tube amps afterall ..so not surprising. Could also be that I don't set my amps up for metal tones and not the tone I'm looking for personally?

Anyone tried running it at 18v?

Great work, JRocks, turns that little amp into a savage!

Thanks, I'm really blown away at the tones of this beast.

I'm going to have to take my pedal to a guitar store and just plug into a bunch of lil' combo amps.

Today I was thinking Peavey Classic 30 but that Fender sounds pretty good. If I were still gigging, I'd definitely be doing a combo amp with this pedal.

I've modified the tone stack and bias of my amp which really opens up the clean tone of the amp, The Texas Heat is a warm sounding speaker but does have a hint of British flavor to it and a very nice low end, the BE-OD has no problem being dialed in to fit that speaker and still have plenty of bite with out getting harsh.

Sounded great

Sounded great

Thank you, absolutely a killer pedal. The low end thump I can dial in makes the little Blues Junior sound so much bigger!

 

[MARK1970]

Sounds really good. I was looking to get one but came upon a great deal, thanks Reza, and snatch a BE-100.

I gigged with my BE-OD last night. It performed like a champ.

good to hear, I will be trying mine with a band tonight I'm sure it will kick ass!

 

[hatrick00]

after playing and tweaking mine today, i can honestly say that anyone who is a fan of high gain will absolutely love this pedal. seriously if you like high gain and try this pedal through a half way decent amp and don't like it you may want to get your ears checked. doesn't even seem subjective after demoing mine today. awesome job dave.

Thanks guys
