Friedman Friedman BE-50 Deluxe Head

Presenting the Friedman Amplification BE-50 Deluxe Head. By combining the tonal pallet of his BE and HBE circuits, as well as the sparkling cleans of the Buxom Betty in his all-new BE-50 Deluxe amplifier head, Dave Friedman is unleashing his most flexible design yet. Thanks to a handful of Friedman’s most requested mods, this new 3-channel head is chock full of tone-shaping possibilities and power. With three channels of his most popular circuits and effortless tone sculpting, all while retaining unmatched touch-sensitive purity, Dave Friedman has proclaimed the BE-50 Deluxe 50-watt all-tube head, “The best amp I’ve ever made.” FLEXIBLE POWER SECTION: Thanks to an astoundingly flexible power section, the BE-50 Deluxe will be your go-to amp on any gig. From the front panel, you’re able to tune the amp’s overall character with a trio of variable controls. Turn the amp around and you’ll find a half-power switch as well as the most transparent effects loop in the business. Presence knob attenuates high frequencies in the amp’s power section Thump adds or removes low-end rumble Response control allows you to determine the amp’s feel Transparent series effects loop with bypass switch always maintains your core tone Power toggle selects between 50-watt pentode operation and 25-watt triode mode BE AND HBE OVERDRIVE CHANNELS: Housed in the BE-50 Deluxe, Friedman’s BE and HBE drive channels are industry standards for high-gain crunch, clarity, and nuance.
