From years of amp modding and repair experience, Friedman Amplification's BE100 (The Brown Eye) all-tube, 2-channel amplifier head brings you the best of British amps in a single package. The BE100 has all of the punch, sustain, and tone you'd expect from a vintage British amp without the harshness. The sensitivity and response of this amp will blow your mind. Powered by a quartet of EL34 power tubes, Friedman Amplification's extremely versatile BE100 tube amp head is a must-have when you need that classic British sound.

When you're looking for massive British amp tones, the Friedman BE100 tube amp head is the way to go. This amp encompasses the best sounds from the best British amps. Loaded with EL34 power tubes and 12AX7 preamp tubes, this amp delivers smooth cleans, crunchy rhythm, and blazing solo tones that will suit any gig. Two separate channels, plus a switchable boost function, let you dial in your ideal sound. A global presence control, a 3-position bright switch, a saturation switch, a C45 switch, and a FAT switch let you further tweak your tone to perfection. A 3-position switch on the BE100's dirty channel lowers your overall gain structure - the highest setting delivers the amp's original sound while the lower two yield phenomenal vintage-tinged tones. The response and sensitivity of this amp is amazing. When you're rocking out and need to clean up your tone just roll back your guitar's volume and keep playing. No channel switching or amp knob twisting needed. Players ranging from Neal Schon to Billy Duffy to Chris Shiflett use the BE100 on tour and in the studio. If you're looking for the ultimate modded-Plexi sound, then this is the amp for you!
