Friedman

Dave Friedman spent years building, modding and repairing amps for touring players, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens and Jerry Cantrell among them, before putting his ideas into production amps. His best-known circuit is the BE, British-voiced high gain at the heart of the BE-100 Deluxe and BE-50 Deluxe. Every amp is burned in, then Dave inspects, tubes, plays and signs the chassis before it ships.
