The Synergy Friedman BE-BB module is a highly regarded preamp module that brings together the iconic tones of two of Friedman’s most famous amplifiers: the BE-100 and the Buxom Betty.
- Designer: Dave Friedman, known for his expertise in amplifier modifications and crafting top-tier electric guitar amplifiers and effects.
- Tones: The module captures the plexi-on-steroids tone of the BE-100 and the pedal-platform versatility of the Buxom Betty.
- Tube Configuration: It utilizes a pair of 12AX7 preamp tubes to ensure true tube tone, detailed sound, and touch sensitivity.
- Channels: The module features two channels, each with its own gain and volume knob, along with a 3-band EQ.
- Controls: It includes a 3-way bright switch and a 2-way mid boost toggle on the BB side for crafting perfect cleans.
- Cathode Select Switch: This three-position switch allows you to configure the input tube bass response to match the original circuit of the selected module, affecting the feel and tightness.
The BE-BB module is designed to be interchangeable and easy to install, offering guitarists the flexibility to switch between a crystalline clean tone and a boosted lead sound or to harness the vintage British-like abilities of the BE channel and switch to a more aggressive distortion. It’s a compact solution for achieving the legendary Friedman sound in a convenient and affordable format. Whether you’re a professional musician or an enthusiast, the Synergy Friedman BE-BB module is a valuable addition to any rig seeking premium rock ‘n’ roll tones.
