Friedman BE-OD

Fick inspiration till denna pedal via Pete T. demo - han får dock allting att låta bra. Detta är en kraftfull, snarare distortionspedal, än OD. Den har ett intern gainreglage som bör hållas lågt - annars blir distorsionen orimligt. Ljudet är bra - massiv, tight distorsion med snygg strängseparation. Kapar en del bas som de flesta distar, reglagen är annars vettiga med god tonpåverkan. Tycker denna passar bäst för lead / metal, mindre bra för crunch / blues / boost
+ kvalitet, bra distortion, många ljudinställningar
-Internt gain reglage bör finnas på utsidan, ej egentlig OD, prova även Carl Martin Plexitone!

This is a good high gain pedal for metal. You can vary the sound quite a bit with the knobs. Most of the positions of the knobs are useful in some way.

With a guitar with a lower tuning it did not sound as good as other pedals and it is one of the more noisier pedals I have at the moment. I'm using a power supply with isolated outputs and a power cord with ground filter and did not expect this amount of noise. I'm not sure if I prefer this one over my Ampwteaker Tight Metal pedal though.

To me it's one of the best high gain pedals I've tested, so it might be unfair to just give it 4 stars. I've given pedals I did not like as much as this one 4 stars. But the noise level was a bummer.
