The BE-Mini 30-watt amplifier head supplies Friedman's tenacious BE-series tone in a conveniently compact amp head. Weighing in at just four pounds, the BE-Mini may be the lightest piece of gear you carry to the stage. The tone is huge, however: the authentic Friedman British-style voicing is inspired by the BE-100 amplifier and BE-OD overdrive pedal. Plus, a 3-band EQ, plus Cut and Tight switches, offer plenty of flexibility to fine-tune your sound in any venue with any guitar. Dual speaker outputs empower you to push some serious air with your choice of speaker cabinets, while a series effects loop helps your delay and reverb effects pedals sound their best. And thanks to its universal 24V power supply, the Friedman BE-Mini amplifier head is ready to rock out anywhere in the world ? no external transformer required.

Tube Amp vs Solid State -?What's the Difference?


Hot-rodded British amp tone in an ultra-compact package





With so many players turning to their Friedman BE-OD overdrive pedals as an "amp-in-a-box" tone solution, the Friedman BE-Mini amp head is the natural evolution of the BE series. Weighing only four pounds, and roughly the same size as a loaf of bread, the solid-state BE-Mini delivers punishing British amp tones to whatever combination of speaker cabinets you prefer.





Transparent effects loop for your time-based pedals





In addition to stellar tone, Friedman amplifiers have long been respected for their transparent effects loop. The BE-Mini is equipped with a series effects loop that won't diminish your guitar tone, allowing you to place reverbs, delays, and boosts after the preamp section for maximum sonic transparency. If you prefer an effects loop for your pedals, but are wary about tone loss, Sweetwater can highly recommend the Friedman BE-Mini.
