Friedman BE-OD Deluxe Dual Overdrive Pedal - any thoughts?

Think there are clones you could try on eBay out there, but I’d say go for it bro. Was looking at this myself especially after watching Thorn’s review

I had the single channel BE-OD, and it's a fantastic pedal. AFAIK, it doesn't stack, so it's basically 2 separate settings. I never had a problem with the single BE-OD, especially since it works great with the volume knob.

I was looking at the single for $199 but for $70 more I can get the dual channel and figure it's cost effective. I like that I can dial gain limit up or down with the pots inside which allows you to tailor the tones more personably -- for single or dual. It seems to be one of the most versatile distortions out there.

You can get them used all over the place for a little over half that. The second channel is voiced different also.

I've never heard a bad thing about any Friedman product. I'm assuming this will be to notch.

The comment in the last video about " amp manufacturers making pedals that replicate their amps" is an interesting one, because I've been using a Bogner Ubershall pedal for years. 🙂

I liked my BE-OD. It made some great sounds.

Its also one of those amp style pedals that sounds great with an IR into your interface / FRFR etc.

I decided to order the Clockworks Edition one from Sweetwater. It's a Father's Day gift so I opted for a new one and the free 2 year warranty.

I checked out some reviews of the single BE-OD and I still heard only really good tones with it. Besides Pete Thorn's reviews, I loved Phil McKnight's comparison of the BE-OD to the EVH 5150 (although he did not use the Deluxe 2 channel). I'll be looking forward to trying it out on some kemper profiles too!

I have the 5150 Overdrive, and they are pretty different pedals. You can't go wrong with both!!!!

I'm rarely going to argue against anyone buying new gear but....is this pedal any good? Yeah I bet it is because its a Freidman...but is it the best pedal for your needs? There are a plethora out there so perhaps not....

As an anti pedal guy, I always question what this will do that you can't currently do....

Having said all of that, I bet you will love it so I hope it does what you want it to do

Besides, I only own one other OD/Dist pedal.

Time to up your game! I am not a pedal guy at all and I several.

Just kidding, I never use pedals. But I do have a few. Notables are:

- a Nobles OD because someone suggested it. Pretty cool. Drives a Metal Zone really well.

- Wampler Dracarys. I wanted something heavy and I wanted to give Wampler money. It was basically a donation to his cause of making awesome pedals. Super cool guy.

Glad you got it. Cant wait to hear all about it and maybe get some profiles from ya! We need content while we wait for Liquid Profiling

The puzzle is finally finished! And I have a full pedalboard. Time to turn on.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your signal chain going into the Kemper?

Maybe a dumb question: why Delay and Reverb on the board? To have them in front of the amp?

That was why I asked. I was wondering if he was running effects via a loop in the Kemper.

That looks really cool!

There's a sentence I didn't expect to read today
