Yup... no question. I've owned a 2203X and currently own a BE100. The Friedman's got more gain. The 2203X was great with my OCD driving the front end. But it's not nearly as smooth and versatile as the BE"Always remember... all you do in life, comes back to you" - Roy Kahn, formerly of Kamelot, during the intro to "Karma" on their One Cold Winter's Night DVD

I am thinking the HBE probably doubles the gain, really.Administrator of the SDUGF

All that said, saying something has x times more gain is only relevant if we are talking about gain in the engineering sense and not gain in the musical sense (distortion), the two are distinctly different, and "Gain" in the musical distortion sense is not recognized in the engineering sense the same way. Meaning all it will imply is that the signal has the potential of being 10 times larger than it was going in, not 10 times more distorted. The signal at the output of the device could still be 100 times larger than the one on the input but very clean, its still a gain of 100Last edited by Joey Voltage; 08-17-2017, 08:11 PM.

There's really nothing exaggerated, nor uncertain about it. It's pretty well established and known. The only thing is that when certain terminology is applied to something that can have two completely different meanings, the context in which they are applied becomes more critical.Last edited by Joey Voltage; 08-17-2017, 07:57 PM.
