You should have changed the name to FBH, fuzzy butt hole.

Does not sound good. Better off buying the $199 pedal. Which is awesome by the way!/

...I love hardware and tube amps still...I just have a deep appreciation for the work that goes into a project such as this...

sounds good to me.

 

[Bloodrock]

Sounds like a Boss ds-1 distortion pedal.

I'm sure Dave loves this. I would take the be-od any day on principle alone. Plus the pedal sounds better imho

Even if you were in Russia?

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Sounds good to me as well... in fact, has more clarity than a lot
Of Friedman stuff I hear. Besides, tell me the BE OD is not a fizzy mess. Thing sounds like a box of bees. You guys are shitting on him for ripping the name and design. I get that. But tonewise, nothing wrong with that. The demo sounds like a 57 was mashed right up against the grill is all.

I'm all for a 3 channel rack preamp. I would definitely have liked it to have a different name and design. I certainly hear potential good tones in there but I think the recording process and/or settings are holding it back.

Guess it's not a proper demo if it's not a Reza demo...

 

[Starman22]

I take no issue with the sound clip (although way too much vol for the mic and hows about some string muting?) or the concept of a tribute to an original.

Naming the unit an HBE is really wrong. Nowhere in the history of guitar tone has HBE been used other than by Dave F.. This this is a direct infringement to his intellectual property.

I know the Russian guy only makes small volume units, and I'm sure Friedman could care less, but why rip the name directly?

 

[rottingcorpse]

thought home brew electronics too,since i have a custom preamp from them.

so dave isnt the only one with HBE as an acronym.

Good thing Jose is dead... he has been ripped off by lots of people yet nobody seems to mind? lol

I agree. Sounds like a Marshall does before it gets modded into gain oblivion. (not that there is anything wrong with gain, unless you rely on it as a crutch for poor technique, or crank it to the point where you are a buzz in the mix.) Could have been recorded to higher standards, but it sounds like a great platform to build a rig around to me.
