Description

The Friedman Guitar Pedals always come out on top. This is New is in stock and ready to post out to you, with fast, reliable delivery straight to your door. For more New Guitar Pedals options, read on for full specifications, demos, and secure online ordering.

The original BE-OD pedal was a hit from the offset, but the Friedman BE-OD Deluxe takes that design up by a significant notch. Now boasting dual channels and mid-range controls, you have far more tonal freedom and flexibility.

The BE-OD could already turn practically any amp into a fire-breathing monster, but now you can dial-in a milder, low-gain mode to that setup as well.

Dual Channels

Like the standard BE-OD pedal, the BE-OD Deluxe derives heavily from Friedman's flagship amplifier – the BE-100. This means that you can expect that authentic valve amp response and feel. With channel 1 employing the exact same circuit as the BE-OD, this mode offers hair-raising levels of gain, perfect for hard rockers or metalheads looking for that modded black and gold tone.

Channel 2 has the same character and response as channel 1, but this mode has been voiced with slightly less gain. This means that you can perfectly setup rhythm and lead channels, with the BE-OD Deluxe serving as the source for all of your drive and distortion needs.

Flexible Controls

Dave Friedman's original BE-OD is loved for its crushing tones, however its lack of a mid control was something that some players disliked. Friedman has listened to its fans and addressed this demand, adding mid-range controls for channels 1 and 2. This means that you have a full 3-band EQ section for both channels, letting you tweak your tones to absolute perfection.

It doesn't end there either though, as each channel also boasts a presence switch that can add further top-end crispness if you're playing through a dark-sounding amp. While the gain and volume controls are self-explanatory, the channels also feature 3-way tight switches. These act like a bass roll-off, letting you take out any flubbiness from your drive tones so that they sound more focused and 'tight'.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Deluxe. Overdrive — Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit, and natural compression to your tone, capturing the feel of a pushed tube amp. They respond dynamically to your playing, offering everything from a light bluesy crunch to full, saturated rock tones. Perfect for boosting solos or shaping your core sound, an overdrive pedal brings character and life to any setup. Whether you prefer vintage smoothness or modern bite, these pedals are essential for players who want expressive, touch-sensitive drive with plenty of personality.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own..
