If this is anything like other Freidman products, it is most likely going to be an OEM amp with Friedman's pre-amp grafted in and of course his logo. For Freidman to make this amp at this price point, it must cost less than half of that to produce it, likely 1/3rd the cost. My bet is that the production cost of this thing is around $100, perhaps even less.
Let's keep in mind that is essentially his BE pedal with a 30-watt amplifier built-in. The power supply is a run-of-the-mill laptop charger-style unit. I bought a 30-watt amplifier module from an eBay auction a while back for about $6. The amp module didn't even require a power supply module, simply connect a laptop charger to it and send it a signal! The Mooer Baby Bomb is a prime example of what I built with this $6 amp module. SUPER CHEAP OEM stuff from China. My bet is that the cabinet to house all the electronics costs more to produce than the actual amp itself.
Freidman does have some stuff that is 100% legit, but he also has quite of few things that are complete BS that are made solely for the purpose of making money with his name. While he deserves to make a buck, there are a few things that he has that are egregious. Business is business though.
