Sweetwater-exclusive 2-channel BE-OD Overdrive

Guitarists far and wide love Friedman’s original BE-OD overdrive pedal. That said, they’ll love the BE-OD Deluxe twice as much — it gives you the same British-amp-on-steroids sound as its predecessor but ups the ante with a second channel and midrange controls. The dual channels make dialing in separate rhythm and lead sounds a breeze, while the Mid controls give you loads of tone-sculpting power. Beyond that, the BE-OD Deluxe Clockworks Edition features exclusive graphics designed by Sweetwater’s Melanie Werner. From smooth breakup to metallic high-gain tones, the Friedman BE-OD Deluxe is the easy way to inject your pedalboard with authentic tube-amplifier sound.

Two channels of wide-ranging, British-flavored overdrive

Friedman’s BE-OD Deluxe contains two channels that are based on their legendary BE-100 tube amp. The top channel employs the exact same circuit as the original BE-OD overdrive pedal, while the bottom channel was re-voiced by Dave Friedman to exhibit slightly lower gain. At Sweetwater, we’ve found that having dual channels offers a lot of flexibility — it makes crafting independent rhythm and lead tones a breeze.

All the controls you need to shape your tone

You can dial in scores of British-inflected tones with the BE-OD Deluxe. Zero in on your desired sound with Bass, Mid, and Treble knobs. Then tweak that sound to perfection with Gain and Presence controls. And when you’re done with that, a 3-position Tight switch puts you in complete command of your low end, allowing you to select between a vintage-y, loose feel or a modern, hyper-responsive feel.

Dave Friedman: amp guru to the pros

For over 25 years, Dave Friedman has been tweaking, building, and repairing amps for some of the biggest names in music. His legendary reputation among touring musicians has gained him a loyal clientele including the likes of Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens, Jerry Cantrell, and more. Dave has created his own production amp line utilizing his sought-after skills and talents. Now you can get the same legendary amp tones as the pros with a Friedman amplifier.

Incredible overdrive

My favorite overdrive. Very versatile having two channels. Huge upgrade from the BE
OD. Contact Sales engineer Andy Rice for great tech advice and service.
Rated 4/5

Overdrive

Still experimenting with this OD. So far I'm pleased with it.
I'd suggest watching YouTube video before purchasing as I did. Good product for the money
FYI..make sure to arrange your pedals in specific order to reduce noise.

Friedman overdrive deluxe clockwork

Been using a Fulltone overdrive for years! Really like the pedal however there was something missing! I described to my rep Jordan what I was looking for and he suggested the Friedman overdrive! Used it at rehearsal and everybody gave it a thumbs up!
Rated 5/5

Best Brown Option

I have a DSL40, which gets you part of the way there; I have a Pinnacle, an SL Drive, and I previously returned a Catlinbread DLS. Each of those got you in the ballpark, but not quite there and each with some annoyances. The BE-OD's grain texture is a little more open and gritty and is really straightforward in setup. You can start with everything set at 12 o'clock, and make small adjustments to taste. The Deluxe isn't much more than the standard, and totally worth it to get the mid control and ability to switch between two gain levels.
Rated 5/5

Is it an overdrive? Is it a preamp? Is it a boost?

The answer is YES! I used to have 3 stacked overdrives on my board until I got this last year - a Plexi Drive (preamp), a Plumes (boost/solo), and a Boss SD-1. This has replaced all 3. If you want modern or vintage Marshall tones on the "cheap", this will do it. This and a decent solid state power amp will do everything you need if you're looking for straight classic/hard rock tones. Stick it in front of a crunchy amp (Friedman or otherwise), and it'll melt your face without throwing mud at you.
