Friedman

collapse expand iconDescription

The Friedman BE-Mini 30W guitar amp head puts the iconic grind and punch of Dave Friedman's BE preamp into a compact, road-ready package. Designed for gigging guitarists, the BE-Mini has a familiar control layout with gain, level and three-band EQ controls that provide a wide range of tones from crisp cleans to saturated overdrive. Onboard Cut and Tight switches further shape your tone, allowing you to go from tight and focused to open and airy.

Unparalleled Tone-Shaping Control

The BE-Mini gives you an unprecedented level of control over your tone with its intuitive interface. The gain, level and 3-band EQ controls are highly responsive, allowing you to dial in the perfect amount of breakup and tweak the voicing to your exact needs. The Cut and Tight switches provide even more tone-shaping options, tightening or loosening the low end. With this level of control, you can achieve any tone from pristine cleans to high-gain overdrive.

A Legendary Sound in a Compact Package

The BE-Mini is inspired by Dave Friedman's legendary BE-100 amplifier, providing the same signature British voice and feel. Friedman is known for amps with rich harmonic overtones, punchy lows and a distinctive grind, all of which are present in the BE-Mini. Despite its small size, the BE-Mini produces tones that are remarkably close to its full-size counterpart.

Perfect for Gigging Musicians

Weighing in at just 4 lb., the BE-Mini is ideal for gigging guitarists looking for a portable amp head that doesn't compromise on tone. The unit itself is compact and it comes with a universal power supply so you can use it anywhere without having to worry about mains voltage. Friedman designed the BE-Mini to be a killer companion on stage, at home or in the studio.

Premium Components and Styling

Like all Friedman products, the BE-Mini features premium components, solid construction and a stylish design. It has Friedman's signature black and gold esthetic with chrome accents, exuding a boutique feel. The BE-Mini sounds and looks like an amp head that costs significantly more, providing professional tone and build quality at an affordable price.

    I've got my Friedman BE mini plugged in to my Hartke 4x12 cab and it sounds AMAZING!!!! I got a delay pedal running in the effects loop and that's all I need for what I like to play (80s Hair Metal).🤘😁

    Had to get a reverb pedal. This amp has no clean sound. Surprisingly loud. Not for gigging as limited sounds. Good for metal or heavy rock.

  • Absolutely !!!

    I've been having a lot of fun with this little amp. Great tone without having to blast it!! Actually inspired creativity. I love it. It is a little beast if you want it louder too. From classic rock to metal.
