FRIEDMAN BE Mini - Metal
Ойын-сауық
Trying out the Friedman BE Mini Amplifier.
Disclaimer: Friedman sent me this demo unit for free but it will be sent back after the demo has been made. It's not a sponsored video and the brand does not get to see the video before I post it.

When you pull it down, that's where the tightness is. ANOTHER FAMOUS OLA QUOTE!
What a lot of people miss about this amp and the Friedman "House-Sound" is that the top-end cuts and sounds very clear, without it being fizzy and super-bright and edgy where it tears your head off. Or, as Audiophiles say - "A non-fatiguing sound." That's a big part of Dave's genius and great ears.

Agreed 👍 I am extremely impressed with this amp. I run mine through a 1x12 and use boss SD1 to tighten it up a tad.. amazing loud and that Friedman sound is the best in my opinion.

its insane that this amp sounds so tight without a boost. Absolutely killer
"So, lets try and add SOME bass..." Turns bass to 11...
I don't get the comments, it sounds absolutely brutal for this size and pretty damn clear for the amount of gain. I'd totally consider one if I didn't have a high-gain amp for practicing.

Back in the 90's many death metal bands used solid state.
I bought one a few weeks ago. Just for grins, started playing it through my Marshall 1960AV 4x12. Totally kick ass for a home practice amp. A one trick pony but oh, what a pony...
Looking forward to more Friedman amp demos, especially the BE-100 Deluxe.

Today is a good day. Received my copy of Starzinger and Ola releases a demo of the BE mini. That thing sounds absolutely stunning.....I think I might have to......buy one!
So many great mini amps on the market today. I want them all!
Very nice. Thanks Ola!
If it had a different name on the front people would be saying it sounds synthetic and solidstatey, but because it says Friedman it has to be good. I found it expensive for what it offers when things like the DSL-1 exist. Looks cute, though.

The DSL1 doesn't have the brown sound like the Friedman does, also it has tubes so you have to deal with them failing and dying. The only thing I don't like about the BE mini is the fact that doesn't have a clean channel. Friedman should do a BE mini deluxe with a clean channel.

I didn't like the BE Mini too much for Metal when it was on its own but it seems like it takes OD pedals pretty well. It sounds properly tight and chunky with the Horizon pedal in front of it. I like it!
I knew this was coming!!! Ola for the win
Love the solar white lespaul amp sounds great
Friedman seriously have some amazing amps!
I dig it ! It has a cutting sound . Gonna try it in the studio for some tracks to texture with a marshall plexi . I use the friedman dual be overdrive with the plexi and love the tones . The be mini has a sound on its own in comparison. Totally different which is exactly why i think it will be great in the studio for layering tracks with the plexi . 🤘
Very cool little amp. Sounds alright as well.
I have mine ordered already and also ordered a HESU 1x12 to go with it. Wanted to get the Vertical 2x12 but it was out of my price range.
Okay, I was sceptical but dayum this rips!
I would love to hear you put these different rigs in a mix, maybe the most recent riff challenge.
I have the pedal now I want this. Sounds sick.
Happy Friday Ola
Right back at you brother
Love that guitar so much
Pretty bad ass little amp....friedman makes some sick heads Ola...check out and demo the be100 deluxe
Love this little amp now we just need it in a 100 watt version effects loop channel switching maybe a BE side a dirty shirley side and a clean channel.
That little lunchbox head rocks. Well done Friedman
I’m cannot decide which mini amp to get, the bogner and diezel are also on my radar. Class D amplifiers are designed with the semiconductors in an on or off position, it’s a digital binary on or off state. The preamps are just distortion pedals so essentially any ehx or class D power amp with a distortion pedal plugged directly in will achieve pretty much the same kind of tones. I believe this technology will eventually make tube amps less desirable for recording applications. This class D trend is all the rage, but electro harmonix has been doing it for years.
You make an excellent point that it's kind of like buying the classic BE-OD $200 pedal but cooler and more fun!

I want to like it, I really do, especially for the price, I wish more companies would do low wattage solid state renditions of their 100w tube monsters. Idk how to describe it other than too much fuzz and not enough chunk.
Ola you make that little bugger sing great demo!

Pretty cool little amp for a solid state practice head. But I’m waiting on the Butterslax 20w. THAT is hopefully going to be awesome.
This sounds great, if it had a clean channel I would buy it.

Do you EQ low end out of these guitar demos? When I record my amp with 2 mics (Blue Bluebird, SM57) like this, there is an overwhelming amount of bass in the signal. I would love to get more clarity in my sound like you do.
Watching ola makes me wanna pull out my guitar and jam. 😂😂
Another day of asking... Any chance Solar can make a 25.5" scale length 7 string with a low profile trem (i.e. one where the fine tuners don't stick high up)? Or making one with a non-double locking trem like Music Man does on their JP models, or like Ibanez does on certain models like their AZ24047 (which has a Gotoh T1872S Tremolo with Gotoh MG-T locking tuners) to avoid fine tuners altogether? I'd love to buy one of your guitars, but I have small hands and like wide stretches, so I basically need a 25.5" scale, and the way I pick it's way more comfortable to me to have a low profile trem or non-double locking trem with no fine tuners.

Here is the million-dollar question, is it a real amp or is it their BE-OD overdrive pedal scaled up with an additional solid-state power amp? and is that worth the extra money?* [edited in]

It's basically just the pedal with a solid state power amp, as you stated, afaik. It's not much more expensive than the pedal to account for the rest of the build and construction etc. I think I'd prefer to just run the pedal into a tube amp or a tube amp's power amp in, or into a DAW
