With the Friedman BE-OD Overdrive, Dave Friedman packs the sound of his legendary BE-100 full tube top part into a compact effect pedal that transports the guitarist into blessed gain nirvana. Accordingly, the pedal convinces with a rich British sound, which ranges from juicy crunch to high gain brown sound with the help of the gain control. The controls for bass, treble, presence and tight provide extensive possibilities for precise adjustment of the sound image.
