What a lot of people miss about this amp and the Friedman "House-Sound" is that the top-end cuts and sounds very clear, without it being fizzy and super-bright and edgy where it tears your head off. Or, as Audiophiles say - "A non-fatiguing sound." That's a big part of Dave's genius and great ears.
Agreed 👍 I am extremely impressed with this amp. I run mine through a 1x12 and use boss SD1 to tighten it up a tad.. amazing loud and that Friedman sound is the best in my opinion.
I don't get the comments, it sounds absolutely brutal for this size and pretty damn clear for the amount of gain. I'd totally consider one if I didn't have a high-gain amp for practicing.
I bought one a few weeks ago. Just for grins, started playing it through my Marshall 1960AV 4x12. Totally kick ass for a home practice amp. A one trick pony but oh, what a pony...

@@jonathanm9069 lol, you've obviously never owned a tube amp. Tubes don't fail very often. Never had to change the tubes in my amp in 13 years. Most people will tell you the same.

I’m cannot decide which mini amp to get, the bogner and diezel are also on my radar. Class D amplifiers are designed with the semiconductors in an on or off position, it’s a digital binary on or off state. The preamps are just distortion pedals so essentially any ehx or class D power amp with a distortion pedal plugged directly in will achieve pretty much the same kind of tones. I believe this technology will eventually make tube amps less desirable for recording applications. This class D trend is all the rage, but electro harmonix has been doing it for years.
I think the Neumann TLM 102 adds a weird character to these tone demos. I've found that the demos that use that mic don't usually sound as good as ones that use the Austrian Audio OC18.
I havnt played the Revv G20, but apart from that I think I have tried almost all lunchbox heads. The EVH 15 Stealth is easily, easily the best. They finally made a 15 watt that sounds like a 50 watt in the room.
Here is the million-dollar question, is it a real amp or is it their BE-OD overdrive pedal scaled up with an additional solid-state power amp? and is that worth the extra money?* [edited in]
It's basically just the pedal with a solid state power amp, as you stated, afaik. It's not much more expensive than the pedal to account for the rest of the build and construction etc. I think I'd prefer to just run the pedal into a tube amp or a tube amp's power amp in, or into a DAW
Just that.. a be-Od with extended EQ on an AMP chassis powered by a Solid state power amp and an FX loop... A bit expensive for a One trick ponny solidstate amp no ?
@@demolitionkid2 I have an LTD Eclipse Deluxe (in Snow White, too) and it sounds way meaner and nastier than my M-1000 Deluxe, even with the same pickups (EMG 81/60). It also has very nice clean tones, too.
I didn't like the BE Mini too much for Metal when it was on its own but it seems like it takes OD pedals pretty well. It sounds properly tight and chunky with the Horizon pedal in front of it. I like it!
I want to like it, I really do, especially for the price, I wish more companies would do low wattage solid state renditions of their 100w tube monsters. Idk how to describe it other than too much fuzz and not enough chunk.
Already having a BEOD and a DSL1, the fizziness of this just doesn't do it for me. I could see getting it if I didn't already have a small tube amp and the pedal which together cost more than this thing.
Love this little amp now we just need it in a 100 watt version effects loop channel switching maybe a BE side a dirty shirley side and a clean channel.
Today is a good day. Received my copy of Starzinger and Ola releases a demo of the BE mini. That thing sounds absolutely stunning.....I think I might have to......buy one!
Gah, revisiting this. I want to get one for my stepson, but I just wish the BE-OD Deluxe had a power amp in it kinda with what you mentioned. I wish I could just give him that and a cab, BUT I love that this has an fx loop.
@@LeDechaine Ive had both to be honest i feel no deference I can play both just fine i don't feel more or less comfortable with either I just like the tuning, sounds heavy as fuck but not inaudible And not too high either Perfect tuning for me
@@LeDechaine I can't stand playing drop B for that exact reason. You need like a short scale baritone to have proper string tension. Thankfully, I have both a 7 and an 8 so, like yourself, I'm good for low tunings now.
I have the Hughes & Kettner Spirit of Metal, it doesn't have an FX Loop so I wouldn't mind having the Friedman just for that additional feature but it that worth the $100 extra dollars?
It's cute...but who is it for? Why would anyone choose this over the other ss amps in it's price range? It just seems like something for Friedman fans to put on a shelf/display.
Another day of asking... Any chance Solar can make a 25.5" scale length 7 string with a low profile trem (i.e. one where the fine tuners don't stick high up)? Or making one with a non-double locking trem like Music Man does on their JP models, or like Ibanez does on certain models like their AZ24047 (which has a Gotoh T1872S Tremolo with Gotoh MG-T locking tuners) to avoid fine tuners altogether? I'd love to buy one of your guitars, but I have small hands and like wide stretches, so I basically need a 25.5" scale, and the way I pick it's way more comfortable to me to have a low profile trem or non-double locking trem with no fine tuners.
I'd like more 25.5 scale 7 string options from them as well, preferrably with a low-profile trem (aka not an Original Floyd Rose where the fine tuners stick way up high.)
sounds good but i wish dave put at least 1 12ax7 in the preamp. and also gave us the ability to go direct without a cab! i wouldve paid an extra $200 for those options.
I agree...there are better sounding mini-amps out there unless that fizzy distortion is what someone wants. For a mini-amp I use a Hotone Heart Attack micro-amp for incredible Mesa Dual Rectifier emulation. Not quite as dynamic as the real thing, so my fingers feel the difference. However when I record with it, there is very little difference. But this fizzy Friedman amp? It gets a big nope from me. I can get a similar tone from cheap distortion pedals and other solid state practice amps if I ever want that tone.
@@mlody969 I care about room mics. If you have a good sounding room, blending that room mic with the close-in mic/s gives a more natural full-bodied sound to the recording as long as you're not getting any phase cancellation. It's not absolutely necessary, but Ola knows what he's doing and almost always uses a room mic on guitar amps. As you've probably noticed, his recordings always sound fantastic.
I bought one the first week it was out, played it 2 days and returned it and bought the Marshall DSL20HR. It was to much of a fizzy, 1 trick pony. It’s a cool novelty for the Friedman Guy’s to put on a desk or bookshelf, nothing more.
That sounds really quite bad. Has that weird mid range fizz that you can't get rid of. I've noticed a lot of SS amps have that. Only Solid State I've played that doesn't have it is the Orange Crush 120 head and the boss katana stuff
@@GeraintDafis It's really weird. Some solid states have it, some don't. I have an old Marshall Valvestate 100w, unless I'm using a distortion pedal, it has that weird sound
@@gregtuna49 wich one do you have? I collect first and second gen Valvestates. The 8100s really don't have it as much as the VS100 even tho they can deliver similar sounds.
@@rickleblanc8900 yeah they definitely are tricky amps do dial in. Their EQ knobs do weird things compared to most other amps. The 8100 is rather easy to dial in but the key in those amps is the FX loop knob together with the reverb. Most demos don't show that sadly. You can definitely get Mesa Boogie like sounds out of them if you correct use the FX blend on them. The VS100s however are one of the most tricky amps I've ever dialed in. They can do the same sounds and be even tighter than the 8100s but their EQ basically works like: you touch 1 knob and it effects the other knobs as well. However those are great as well, a bit more reliable. Really underrated amps. But their time will come. That's why I collect them :)
is a little 30 watt solid state amp head with nothing to offer but one (admitedly good) tone worth it at $300-$400 in a world where the boss katana exists?
Would of liked to see you Dime it. And then played with the eq section a bit. Rolled down the guitar volume. Sounds farty a bit. But there definitely is power there. Maybe too much
This may seem incredibly stupid.. Please forgive me. I'm just learning the inner details about Amps/Cabs.. My question is why isn't an impedance value on the back of this head?
For an additional $20 USD, you could get the Marshall DSL1 head, which sounds much better! Not sure what purpose this would serve. Mini tube amps allow you to crank the preamp tubes at a lower volume but you can always just turn down solid state. No USB so it can’t even be used for an interface. Probably isn’t loud enough for a band either at 30W SS plus it’s pretty fizzy… I don’t get it. A $329 toy?
If it was 30W all tube it'd be decently loud. But 30W solid state is pretty quiet. I remember even 50W tube amps sounding louder than my 300W solid state Warhead (Dimebag amp.)
@@clum262 i Always thought that active pickups are pushing too much the preamp of our heads. It IS good with lower gain head (Old Marshall stuff) but with our "modern" amps I prefer by faaaaaar passive PU. For me it is more Dynamic, your playing really shines with them (or sucks haha)
