Key Features
The Synergy Friedman BE-BB 2-Channel Preamp Module is suited to guitarists who want Friedman's signature blend of refined gain and expressive clean tones in a compact modular format. Two voices taken directly from Dave Friedman's renowned designs make this module a flexible centrepiece for recording or stage rigs.
Product Ref: 355016
The BE and BB channels present two distinct amplifier characters within a single unit. The BE side carries the focused drive of the BE-100 with a strong midrange and controlled saturation suited to rhythm and lead parts.
It reacts well to pick dynamics which helps maintain articulation through gain-heavy settings. The BB side mirrors the clean strength of the Buxom Betty with a broad frequency spread and fast response. This pairing allows one module to serve clean passages and driven tones without relying on additional outboard gear. Separate gain, volume and EQ controls on each channel support careful tone shaping for rehearsal or recording setups.
The BB channel features a three-way bright switch for adjusting top-end sparkle and overall presence. A two-way mid-boost toggle adds body when fuller cleans are needed or when a part must sit forward in a mix.
These controls offer meaningful adjustments without overwhelming the layout which keeps the module approachable while still capable of detailed refinement. Players who enjoy shaping clean tones to fit specific arrangements will find these switches helpful in dialling in the right balance.
Two 12AX7 valves drive the BE-BB module and capture the lively behaviour Friedman amplifiers are known for. Lower gain settings carry strong clarity while higher settings retain definition through sustained parts.
This makes the module adaptable to direct-recording paths through Synergy racks with impulse responses as well as low-volume setups with compact power amps. Many guitarists want valve character without the size of a full head so this format provides that experience while keeping the rig manageable.
A three-position cathode select switch offers different input tube configurations which shift low-end contour and sensitivity. This allows the module to be matched to various guitars and cabinets. Each position has its own feel which encourages experimentation to find the most comfortable response.
The switch also supports consistency when moving between studio and live environments where instruments or monitoring setups may differ. This feature rounds out a module designed to slot easily into Synergy systems while offering enough flexibility to meet varied tonal needs.
