    Sounds great, the closest sound to the brown sound of any Friedman amp.
    In my view most Friedman amps sound way too boomy and modern to be considered a representation of plexi and the brown sound but this is the sound in Eddie Van Halen's head.

    19:20 is absolutely magical. GREAT demo of this amp. Would like to have heard it dry, given a really good quality reverb and/or Delay can make a huge difference....but, you've got me convinced that this is probably the best buy in the Friedman line if you're on a budget. This, or the Friedman DS mini has a really nice brown sound, as well if you tweak it properly. Would love to see you do a demo on that amp, as well. You've got a really good thing going with these demo's. Was a pleasure to watch.

    Excellent demo. Thanks for sharing. I own an original BE100, a latest version BE100, an SS100 and sold an early Marshall "Kitchen Sink" mod (stupid mistake) some years back. After nearly 50 years of playing guitar I've never been happier than I am when I'm playing one of my Friedman's. Now I hear this demo of the far cheaper Runt and I'm floored! You're demo sounds so good it's making me wonder why I have all these EXPENSIVE Friedman's when that amp sound so damn good. I will definitely be checking one of these out in the near future. I may not give up my BE's or SS, but I could easily see a Runt joining my collection if I can make it sound this good. Thanks again for sharing this great demo.

      @@GonzaCordo Interesting you mentioned the BE100 Deluxe as that's the amp that has been highest on my radar recently. Your comment that it can do pretty much everything has me intrigued. Can it truly do great clean, vintage and extreme gain modern? Can you dial in an identical sound to the BE100? If that's the case, I may be grabbing one of those and letting one my BE100's go.

    Según entiendo, el boost del Friedman es parecido a ponerle un overdrive al frente al canal crunch (drive en 0 y todo el nivel). O sea, le agrega un poco de sustain y aprieta un poco los bajos. En el segundo video dices que para solear le agregas el Golden Pearl (con un seteo parecido, o sea casi sin gain). Lo que no entiendo es por qué ocupas el pedal y no el boost del amplificador para solear? O es que para solear pones el crunch con boost más el Golden Pearl? Saludos
