Yeah I am trying to decide if I should buy the BE-50 or have Dave mod a used BE-100. A few have come up for great prices used.RedPlated":15nd5jx0 said:Adambomb":15nd5jx0 said:I have yet to send my BE100 in for updates but if it makes the amp more open and less dark then I'm all for it.

It’s a huge difference. Forget about clips.
If you really want to open up the amp, have Dave add the Response control.

I've played both. Wouldn't ever give up my modded BE-100 for the BE-50. I greatly prefer the aesthetics of my BE-100 in a smaller head shell to the BE-50 as well. That gold line running through the middle of the BE-50 head shell drives me nuts.
The BE-50 is all the rage right now because it’s new. Adding the “Deluxe” features to the 100 will get you a killer amp. There’s a mint BE-100 on my local Craigslist right now for $2350.

I have thought about modding to the Deluxe spec's but I think I am in the minority in the sense that I love the BE clean. I would like to maybe add the Thump and Resonance though.
Yep. Couldn't agree more. It's bad ass no matter what version. And that's the reality of it. Having the latest and greatest is good but being in the game is fun period.JerEvil":2gjuxcgd said:Man I have a 2018 BE-100 and I just love it. I have never played any of the earlier ones because quite frankly, I was not in a position to own one and didn't want to hate my other amps for NOT being a BE! LOL!
