FRIEDMAN / BE-100 DELUXE HEAD

The BE-100 Deluxe is a fully independent 3-channel high-gain amplifier that inherits all of the amazingly flexible and gorgeous-sounding tone of the original BE-100.

For over a decade, the Dave Freedman-designed ""BE"" circuit has been lauded as the epitome of classic British guitar tone. In recent years, its exquisite tone has earned it worldwide acclaim, making the BE-100 a coveted 100W boutique amp unrivaled. Now, with the newly designed BE-100 Deluxe, the ""BE"" circuit has been taken to a new level.

New gain and master settings have been added to the HBE channel. The Plexi Clean channel, inspired by the Plexi channel of smallbox amps, along with a new ""response"" switch, ""thump"" knob, and frequency switch, are just a few of the features you can enjoy at your leisure.

[BE and HBE Overdrive Channels]
Freedman's BE and HBE drive channels are renowned for their high-gain crunch, clarity, and nuance. The Deluxe models now feature two independent gain and master controls, enabling even greater sound shaping and freedom of expression.

[Smallbox Plexi Channel]
Inspired by the Plexi channel of the Smallbox amp, the all-new clean channel not only produces a beautiful clean tone, but also allows you to bring out the Plexi tone character with gain, volume, and 3-band EQ controls.

[Flexible Master Section]
Not only does it feature three preamps with all the controls you need, but it also features a perfect power amp to output them. Its incredible flexibility begins with the front panel's ""presence"" and ""thump"" knobs, as well as a three-position switch that switches between frequency and response, allowing you to adjust the amp's overall tonal character. While each player has their own unique style, these controls can be thought of as a power amp EQ, allowing you to more sensitively tailor the overall tone to your preferences.

[Clear Effects Loop]
While using an effects loop can sometimes degrade your tone, the clear effects loop designed by Dave Friedman perfectly eliminates this issue. You'll forget you're even using an effects loop.
