You have a ton of Friedman amp knowledge! Thanks so much for sharing! Out of curiosity, how’d you learn so much about Friedman’s?
If that was late 80s early 90s, I was a developer at Microsoft. That could’ve been my crap code!Who knew! Ha.
When I worked for IBM, we used to get Microsoft's Alpha's (that whole OEM thing.). Talk about crap code.
Anywho, I've given up on all the beta's. I'll hold out for the polished version.
I’m no expert, but this latest beta sounds awfully polished to me. It’s outstanding! You’re missing out.Any-who, I've given up on all the beta's. I'll hold out for the polished version.
I had a BE 100 Deluxe as well and I talked a lot with Dave, he is just an awesome guyThanks buddy.
I owned friedman be50 and be100 dlx and still own JJ 100 with deluxe mod.
I learned all that stuff mostly from Dave info he shared on his forum and social media.View attachment 81062
he is, for sure.I had a BE 100 Deluxe as well and I talked a lot with Dave, he is just an awesome guy
No, my mom worked at IBM throughout the 90s ... It was her, trust meIf that was late 80s early 90s, I was a developer at Microsoft. That could’ve been my crap code!
Haha!
Me to, I sold all my ampshe is, for sure.
but I have to admit that I prefer ax3 to real friedmans.
that’s why I sold both deluxe and my JJ deluxe is up for sale
Thanks buddy.

When I worked for Microsoft, we used to laugh about IBM making more revenue leasing out their vacant office space than they did with their products.Who knew! Ha.

Did some tweaks to my JP2C live preset. It's a pretty simple setup since it's what use with the FM3. I hope Cygnus port is coming btw! Pretty happy with how it sounds, this amp is amazing now!
The BE50dlx HBE channel shares its input stage with the clean channel (Buxom Betty) instead of having its own dedicated input stage in other amps. This compromise results in a much larger cathode degeneration capacitor which add more bass early on. BE50dlx HBE gain stages 2,3,4 go through the regular BE channel as usual. Additionally, the 1st stage anode for the HBE BE50dlx differs also for the clean channels benefit. On my BE50dlx, I find the HBE channel uninspiring for humbuckers, but divine for single coil lead sounds because of this.I Haven't tried the new HBE model on cygnus but when I had the be50dlx I thought the HBE channel was really disappointing compared to the BE. It lacked definition and clarity, I would boost the BE channel for leads, sounded way better imo.
Now the smallbox in cygnus is dead on to the real deal.
no problem buddy, I will say that I lost interest in friedmans after I heard cameron ccv models in ax8 a few years ago.I really appreciate you sharing what you know about these amps. I love reading about this kind of stuff!

Clip below is HBE V3 at stock settings then with the input EQ low cut at 500hz.
You can hear the "fuzzy lows" in the first clip. The second clip lines up more with what I'm used to with that amp model. Feels really good too.
The Smallbox rips on this FW too.
Make sure to pick the right channel after you load it.Is anyone experiencing problems with their blocks library in axe edit ?
I've refreshed several times but when I select a delay from my library I get the correct name but it defaults to Analogue Stereo every time
