Friedman BE 50 Deluxe...Thoughts?

[angelspade]

Any of you guys had any experience with the Friedman BE 50 Deluxe? I have a trade opportunity for one that seems like a very good deal and wanted some thoughts. My primary concern is that I have read that it lacks aggression / gain and may be a bit too polished / polite? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Depending on what type of music you’re into I guess it could lack gain and aggression. You can always add a pedal to get you there though. It has more than enough gain in my opinion. Overall it’s a killer sounding amp that’s very versatile.

Too polished and polite sounding for me

i'm a big fan of Jason Hobbs playing and tone..i feel like these demos do the best job of capturing what the amp excels at

If you’re getting a good deal its worth trying. I have the 100 deluxe and i wouldn’t pay too much attention to what you read on the internet. The amps super versatile, doesn’t lack gain and you can dial it to be aggressive or polite.

I like it in a subjective way.
