The BE-OD by Friedman is an overdrive pedal that captures the tone of the legendary Friedman BE-100 amplifier. It delivers authentic tube-amplifier sound from a compact pedal with the controls needed to shape your tone. The features and technical specifications include:
- Authentic British overdrive tones based on the legendary "BE-100" tube head
- Dual channels with volume, gain, bass, middle, treble, and presence
controls
- 3-position tight switch
- True bypass switching
- Power consumption: 9-18V DC center negative (power supply sold separately)
- Dimensions: H: 5.8 cm (including knobs), W: 6.6 cm
- Built in the USA and designed to withstand decades of abuse
The BE-OD Deluxe version employs the exact same circuit as the original BE-OD pedal but adds another channel and dual midrange controls. The top row (Channel 1) is identical to the original BE-OD pedal, while the bottom row (Channel 2) is voiced with slightly lower gain. This allows for setting both rhythm and lead sounds with dual "BE" channels.
These responsive controls will take you from mild overdrives to straight-up gain nirvana, making it a must-have pedal for any tone enthusiast.
