This is a VERY smart move by Dave. Being able to own the Friedman tone has been beyond the means of most folk, at least until now. This is a GREAT way for the legions of home players that love Friedman sound and products, to finally have a piece of the rock. And roll. My feeling is that Dave is going to have a hard time keeping up with demand.

I'm so happy. I've literally been saying this for years. Higher End amp and pedal manufacturers should put their top tier pristine distortion pedal circuits into amp heads and sell them as solid state amps. It costs so much less than tube, they already have a fantastic reputation as awesome sounding circuits so the tone snobs will hush up some and you can put them in compact mini enclosures for a super solid Lunch Box practice amp choice. I'm chomping at the bit for when Revv does this with their G3 or G4 and for sure I WILL be getting this Friedman.

Can you run this without a cab, out of the fx send into say a Orange Pedal Baby to have a 100 watt Friedman or would that damage the head by not hooking a cab directly to its main output?
@sweetwater
2 жыл бұрын
Hi and thanks for your message, hope you're well. The BE-Mini is solid state so you could run from the FX send to an external power amp. Doing that does eliminate the power amp voicing from your signal chain so it will change the tone. I'd mic it up connected to a cab and send the output to a full range speaker, then you have the potential of 1000 watts or more. Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them!

This is a really smart move on Dave's part. It's going to expose a lot more people to Friedman who wouldn't have given the brand another look due to the hefty price tag... and not doubt turn them on to the more expensive models when they have money in the future. It's also as cheap as a pedal for some people to not even think twice about. Also a smart move of the Sweetwater rep to use an array for affordable guitars to showcase the amp, no doubt trying to appeal to people on a budget.

Actually I’m looking for an inexpensive practice amp that sounds close to my Bogner Ecstasy, so I don’t have to put unnecessary time on the power tubes for no reason. So, it’s not just the “cute factor”. I’m having a hard time deciding between the Bogner, Friedman, Soldano and Diezel.

Hi, Samuli! Thanks for your message, hope you're well and safe. Killer amp. When using a single cab, the amp is looking for 8 or 16 ohms. If you use multiple cabs, the load shouldn't be below 4 ohms. So 2x 16ohms give you 8, and 2x 8 ohms give you 4. Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them!
