Smallbox: I didn’t pay much attention to it previously.
Even though the BE is my main amp and has been for years.
But this week I played it through my 1x12 cab, and boy, this model rocks!
It has the Friedman signature tone, but the bottom end is much more present than with the BE, it's got that growl.
A quick glance at the model parameters reveals that its Low Cut Freq is much lower than in the BE model (BE: 500 Hz).
That explains the bottom end. It does surprise me, I though that both values would be in about the same ballpark, because the Smallbox's 2nd channel is said to be similar to Friedman's other amps.
I also think that the Smallbox tone leans towards a Plexi more than the BE does. Maybe because the real Smallbox also has a Plexi channel.
Anyway, late to the party but a new discovery that I'm glad with. I'm substituting it for the BE in my main presets, and we'll see if it sticks.
