Wasn't the BE loosely based on a Jose with added shaping options and a more modern low end anyway?
Don't remember why but that's always been my impression

That’s what I always thoughtWasn't the BE loosely based on a Jose with added shaping options and a more modern low end anyway?

Yeah id say that is an accurate description. I can definitely hear a difference but don't know what difference I'm hearing. The BE sounds amazing but I go "there is the Friedman sound". With the Jose, it has some tone or component in the chain making it sound like something bigger. Ive heard that sound in Cameron modded Marshalls in person and clips of mods.BE is smoother, less aggressive. Jose has a bit more "urgent" tone, as Mesa would say. It also has more clarity.

The Jose sounds like it has some grind in the top end that missing in the BEYeah id say that is an accurate description. I can definitely hear a difference but don't know what difference I'm hearing.

No for sure, I just wrote all that 'cause it seemed better than making a flat statement without any justification as to why I thought it. Plus I actually wanted to double-check myself what the effect would be.I’m not trying to sell ya on one
Yes please, that would be interesting.I should make a clip of my amp with it and a normal power cable.
AgreeI like the Jose better but it’s closer than I would have thought
One for sale at TGP already

Yep. Smokin crack.Strange. I guess the seller doesn't want to lose any money, but this is more expensive than buying new. Maybe he should lower the shipping?
Also, the real waiting list is closer to 800 -- not 1700.

Unless Dave said otherwise. Yesterdays Tone-Talk he said the list is about 1700...Strange. I guess the seller doesn't want to lose any money, but this is more expensive than buying new. Maybe he should lower the shipping?

He did, but he also added that there's duplicates, people who can't afford it, people who changed their mind, etc. He mentioned about 50% of the people who actually paid, so roughly 800 or so on the list is what he expects.
He also said they haven't shipped 100 amps yet so either way it'll be a while if you're not already on the list
Yeah, you'll probably be waiting a year if you just get on the list right now. Is it worth it paying over right now to avoid the wait? Only you can answer that. Interesting that he mentioned Richard Fortus is now using the Jose live.
