Hi all!
I have a Friedman BE-100 Deluxe that I have a love/confused relationship with. I love how it sounds because it's incredible but I'm always confused if it's more of what I already have and I do notice that I spend some time trying to make it more aggressive often. So, I asked here a few months ago about a Friedman trade and I ended up buying one. I didn't necessarily see myself parting with the BE but it's pretty lucrative to a metal head like myself..
Some context; I play 80's metal, 90's grunge, rock and metal and modern metal stuff as well. I'm asking for opinions, I won't base it solely on them, I'd just like to hear from anyone who's tried 2 or all 3 of these amps. I've got an offer for a Herbert and a Splawn Nitro. I've always wanted a Herbert and I LOVE how the Nitro sounds but can it really compete with the BE? Anyone tried both? If you were purely worried about tone and not a badge, would you trade the 1 for the 2?
I do have other metal amps as well as Marshall's, so all would not lost either way. I'm sure this will come down to sheer individual taste but I'd still like some guidance. And, as always, thanks everyone for the down to earth responses from this place.
