Friedman BE-Mini
Friedman · amplifier
The Friedman BE Mini is a compact solid-state guitar amplifier head from Friedman Amplification, Los Angeles, built around the preamp voicing of the BE-100 (Brown Eye 100W) — Friedman most famous amp. A 30-watt Class D power section drives the BE high-gain tone in a lightweight lunchbox-format head suited to studio recording, small venue performance, and rehearsal contexts. No tubes — the BE character comes from the solid-state preamp circuit, not a valve power stage.
