I guess since it doesn't have tubes in it and doesn't cost over $3k then it is garbage??? I guess to have a good tone you need a $3k head and a $3k guitar right? Been there and done that. Never said that this mini amp has the "best tone", simply stating that it sounds real good for what it...
I received my BE Mini yesterday afternoon. I must say that this little amp has something real awesome going on as it has this greasy, chewy, aggression to it with a huge bottom end. Way more gain on tap that any of the BE's that I have owned in the past. I have previously owned a 2015 BE...
To each their own and all the power to him. Not going to knock a guy/gal for being successful and having the wealth to acquire what their heart desires. Personally, I would much rather have a Porsche in my garage and a tenth of the gear in the mancave.
For sale is a great condition Fractal FX8 MK1. This unit was used exclusively in my smoke free basement studio. Never gigged. Used this with all of my tube amps and with the built in relays, the FX8 can switch your amp channels without the need for a dedicated footswitch. Multiple options...
The Freidman booth had two of these super mini amps on top of the amp rack at the last NAMM show (prior to COVID). You can clearly see these on top and Sammy Boller and Reza both chimed in to say these are real and will be hitting the market in the future. No other details as both were sworn...
Like others have said, purchase one used and go from there. These can be had for between $1700 and $1800. I have the Axe 3 and have also been part of the Fractal community since the AXE FX Standard. I have A/B'd the AXE FX 3 and my real Friedman BE100 DLX going through the same cabinets and...
Will do. I stopped updating based on all the Cygnus rev updates about 2 weeks ago so I need to do the latest with all the speaker goodies.
I had the opportunity to play loud on Saturday and every amp model sounded awesome. The Atomica High, EVH 100 Red/Blue, Friedman Smallbox and even the...
Putting Wolfie's lineage and his blood-line to the side, he flat out rocks, period!
Wonder how many have stopped the video to get a close up view of the mystery 5150 halfstack?
I mix the best of both worlds with my AXE 3. I use my Boss WAZA to power 2 real 412 cabinets and then I run my powered Friedman FRFR wedges running IR responses at the same time. Brings raw and polished together and fills in all the sonic gaps quiet nicely. Having the ability to add up to 4...
Yeah the BE's seem off. Friedman are known to have a very "balanced" mid's to them where they are not too scooped or too focused. Seems like all the dynamics, harmonics and goodness is lacking on those amp models. I was told the new Cygnus was based on the new Friedman models and a can attest...
I have owned every piece of Fractal gear going back to the AXE 1 and my go to amp was always the Freidman BE. I even purchased a real 2015 BE100, 2018 BE100 and lastly the BE100 DLX. Prior to Cygnus I was able to pretty much tone match my AXE 3 to the real BE100 DLX and found myself playing...
With the AXE 3, I never gave much attention to the 5153 sims but after the latest firmware upgrades these are my favorites. More open and less compressed from the previous firmware. Now these are my go to amp sims.
I had a Hondo Revival Flying V that I just sold. Had the same Kahler Tremelo and it also had the "so called" unstamped Dimarzio Super Distortion pickups in it. Pickups sounded good at low low volumes but in a loud environment, the cheap side of them became evident with massive feedback from...
Whammy Parts dot com has all the parts for those Kahler systems. The rest of the parts that you need is basically a clean slate where you can just add in any of your choice of pickups, electronics and tuners. Probably best as you probably wouldn't want the original Washburn pickups that came...
Best part is people on these forums do not do video's, do not have the talent or skill set to modify or to build amps yet they continue to bash to individuals that take the time to share items with others. Keyboard warriors.......
