Hey kids, its your good buddy Uncle Ben back with a new installment of Meet the Machines!!! While i was recently out at ‪@sweetwater‬ HQ with my man ‪@RiffsAndBeards‬ , i began to ponder a question: is it the size of the amp or what you do with it that matters?!?! I love my Friedman BE 100, but i was so blown away by the adorable BE Mini that i knew i had to compare them and test their might against each other, so in this video, i'm giving you guys a direct A/B comparison of the two amps, as well as sharing the LITTLE KNOWN SECRET HISTORY of how the legendary BE100 came to be (spoilers: it involves a BOG WITCH)!!! So sit back and enjoy, and let me know which amp you like more better!

If I were Ben I would 100% claim that this is my signature amp, and completely ignore anyone who tells me it stands for Brown Eye....

The fact a $329 mini amp sounds that close to a $4000 amp is fucking scary.

@IndyRockStar

I just got my first Friedman amp. I got a Freidman BE-100 Deluxe and a Friedman BE-412 cab. I plugged it in and plugged in my R9 Les Paul and it was the best thing I've ever heard. I didn't touch any of the knobs out of the box. It's an amazing amp. I run it stereo with my JCM800 and it's pure Rock Heaven. I also found out when you run one cab loaded with V30 and G12-75H Creambacks and the Friedman Cab loaded with V30 and Greenbacks the compliment each other perfectly and make a massive wall of sound. I use an Orange Detonator pedal to push the amps in and out of phase. Amazing!

If this was a blind test, I'd really only be able to tell the difference because they're miced up on different speakers which is probably the biggest difference. They both sound super good!!

The MINI sounds more aggressive with the same character as the bigger head. The bigger one sounds more wholesome and round if that makes any sense.

I like this guys playing, it seems more in the context of an actual song than a demonstration of fast playing. Good stuff!

That story sounded legit.

@chucksaeger7500

What a great comparison! Very well done!

They do have some similar characteristics but there definitely is no mistaking the huge sonic impact of the BE100 kicking you in the chest. Cool!

You always have the sickest guitars and sickest gear, Uncle Ben! I'm currently borrowing a 1999 American standard strat in a discontinued off white finish (you can slightly see the wood grain through the paint). It's fantastic. I think you'd like it. It's actually got a low output bridge pickup, which gives it a very specific sound.

I think you just convinced me into buying one. And that guitar is glorious.

Thanks Ben, best comparison of these two amps yet, both are pretty awesome if you ask me.

Hey Ben. If you had to choose between the BE Mini or the Soldano SLO 30 for 80's Ratt, Dokken, Winger and Metallica/Slayer tones, what one would you choose? Thank you for any information.
