Friedman-quality Cleans and Grind

By now, most guitarists have rightly crowned Friedman Amplification as one of the kings of high-gain. But there's another side to the company, and it's on full display in the Synergy Friedman BE-BB preamp module. On one side you'll find the fire-breathing character of the BE circuit. Switch channels via the front panel or footswitch and you'll be taking full advantage of the stunning 12ax7-driven cleans from the modules BB [Buxom Betty] side. Whether looking for a clean tone of its own, a pedal platform, or cabinet-punishing gain, it's all in the Synergy Friedman BE-BB preamp module.

Merriam-Webster defines synergy as, "A mutually advantageous conjunction or compatibility of distinct business participants."

The synergy stuff is so cool and all sounds so good. This module is fantastic, its two amps in one, a clean Buxom Betty and and a BE. Ive never owned or played a Friedman before (knew the name for sure) but this sounds and feels killer. This module is like and Twin and Marshall in one. The dirt tone is really nice and tight, very VH brown sound. I have 4 modules (Soldano, Vai, T/Dlux and the BEBB). This Friedman and the Soldano are in the rack, great pair, rippin tone.

Nice clean tones awesome gain channel

I have like 7 modules so far and all are good, all have their use, you have to decide what works for you and has the sound/tones that fit your style. This one surprised me right off as having probably the best clean channel of any I have and the gain is a very nicely rendered Marshall type sound. Has me looking at some more Friedman renderings. I have a rig of 4 working chained modules and this one will be a permanent slot on my rig.
Synergy is just a great system where you can really hone in a sound or sounds that work for you I just love the stuff. Looking forward to more modules. I would not worry much over the "tube shortage" thing as the preamp tubes in these will last quite some time, I am sure, as tubes really do last longer than most of us really realize. We all want to change out tubes when there is no real need to do so. I am sure Synergy must have a giant surplus of ones they use and I seriously hope they do not delay creating more modules as they just get better all the time. Such a hoot to be able to plug in a major bad a$$ real tube high voltage amp of legendary status.

This Module is Great For a First Choice in a Syn 2 System Because it Gives You Great Clean Tone on Channel One And Great Crunchy Tone On Channel 2, Tight is Right With This Module and Works Great From Blues,Country,Rock,or Metal, Hands Down a Winner!
