Description
The original BE-OD earned its reputation as a British-amp-in-a-box overdrive, and the Deluxe version doubles down by splitting that circuit into two distinct channels. Channel one runs the exact same gain structure as the standalone BE-OD, while channel two has been re-voiced by Dave Friedman with slightly reduced gain — perfect for keeping a tighter rhythm tone parked next to a hotter lead voice, no re-patching required.
- Two footswitchable channels derived from the Friedman BE-100 tube amp
- Channel A: identical circuit to the original BE-OD pedal
- Channel B: lower-gain re-voicing for added tonal contrast
- Bass, Mid, and Treble EQ for shaping the core tone
- Gain and Presence controls for dialing in saturation and top-end sizzle
- 3-position Tight switch to adjust low-end response from vintage-loose to modern-tight
For pedalboard duty, that Tight switch is the real secret weapon — flip between a sagging, old-school low end and a firmer, more articulate response depending on your amp or the room. Stack it in front of a clean amp for convincing British crunch, or push it into an already-driven signal chain for thick, high-gain sustain that stays articulate even with the gain cranked. Whether you need a smooth breakup rhythm sound or a searing lead tone that cuts through a mix, the BE-OD Deluxe’s dual-channel layout means you’re never stuck compromising between the two.
