Our take

Who this one is for

The BE-OD is Friedman's BE-100 head in a single-channel overdrive pedal. Six knobs do the work: Volume, Gain, Tight, Bass, Treble and Presence. Low gain settings give you a light, slightly broken-up drive, and it goes a long way up from there. Having Tight on a knob rather than a switch means you can set exactly how much low end stays in.

It suits a player who wants the BE sound in front of a clean amp, or who already runs a Friedman and wants that voice on the board as well. It is true bypass, runs on anything from 9 to 18 volts DC with no battery, and Friedman builds it in the USA.

If you want two BE sounds, one for rhythm and one for lead, the BE-OD Deluxe uses this exact circuit as its first channel and adds a second, slightly lower-gain channel, plus Middle controls on both. Friedman's BE-100 Deluxe and BE-50 Deluxe heads are in the Catalogue too.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses our bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
