Used Friedman Amplification BE-100 100-Watt Guitar Amplifier

Here’s a great deal on a pre-owned Friedman Brown Eye, a monster 100 watt amplifier that can take anything you throw at it, and then some. The amp is in excellent condition with some light wear to the tolex on the side of the head, and all functions are working as they should. This amp is a pure tank!

The BE-100, a.k.a Brown Eye, by Friedman Amplification is among the finest new guitar amps we’ve had here at the Zoo. The Brown Eye is a 100-watt amp head using four EL34 power tubes and four 12AX7s in the preamp, with the net sonic result being a representation of a classic, British high-gain amp but with very focused, very tight modern, “brown sound” gain.

The amp features two switchable channels (clean and gain), and captures clean, “plexi,” and hot-rodded tones with ease, aided by voicing controls such as a fat switch for added lows without increasing gain and a “SAT” switch which taps a full-on tube saturation for added gain, and a C45 switch that adds gain while keeping the voicing more vintage-inspired.
