It's a practical version of the real 100w version tube amp because it's very affordable and most musicians have no need for 100w tube amp. Most of the time I play on stages requiring a silent or very quiet stage. This is a more practical solution to get a decent tone.

This thing sound great! I understand Pete's disclaimer that it won't replace the full-size tube amp but for most musicians I think it could. After all, how many musicians are actually gigging? A relatively low percentage, I'd wager. Even I, a life-long working musician, am only just getting back to gigging regularly with the hope of a return to full time soon. And I know of several musicians who have left the business - as pros, at least - and might like to have something like this to jam with.

I purchased this because I couldn't fend off the curiosity. I knew it only looked like a novelty but I was still surprised at how good this thing is for dirty to high gain. I've unexpectedly enjoyed using the gain at about 9 o'clock and running it tight for an absolute killer classic rock-type of tone. I'm lobbying for this same offering in a 50w. Then it would be easily loud enough for gigging.

Excellent and informative demo as always, Pete! Pull up to your local jam with this and a 1x12 for an easy load-in and rocking tone, or run line level into class-D into a 2x12 at 4-ohms in parallel for the lightest awesome wet power amp! Did the latter last weekend with an Interblock, and it was epic. Just make sure your line out has a ground lift and phase switch just in case -- otherwise it squeals like a pig.

I used to think the Ex shape was ridiculous, preferring a Firebird instead. But lately I've realised I only want that cos it looks cool. The performance I want...it's all in the Explorer.

Just wanted to drop in and thank you for the demonstration of using the effects return as a power amp. I was looking into buying one for the exact purpose you demonstrated but wasn’t sure if it was a drastically bad idea. I’ve already got the suhr reactive load and 100 watt heads but I’ve just been reamping my 100 watt into another 100 watt. Neither amps have a master volume so it is still quite loud. I’m hoping this might be the ticket for quiet mid day jamming in the bedroom studio! I’ve tried all sorts of stuff, I still prefer playing through my favorite cabinet and amps over IR in the DAW, or through headphones so I’m hoping it can all work out for me nicely.

It's essentially a BE-OD pedal with a Texas Instruments Class D amp-on-a-chip. You can buy assembled boards with the TI TPA3116 chip that can put out 50 clean watts into 4 ohms for less than $15 on Amazon, and half that or less if you're willing to wait to get it shipped from China. You'll need a 24v laptop power supply, just like the BE Mini uses.
