Introducing the Friedman BE-OD Deluxe, an elevated successor to the original BE-OD. This cutting-edge overdrive pedal offers a broad spectrum of tones and superior tonal control, making it a quintessential addition to any musician's toolkit. It boasts dual overdrive channels, each with its own Drive, Tone, and Level controls to enable the creation of two distinctive overdrive tones, easily switchable at a foot's stomp.

Channel 1 offers a variety of medium-gain overdrive tones—ranging from a soft bluesy breakup to a hearty classic rock crunch. Channel 2, on the other hand, generates higher-gain overdrive tones, covering everything from chunky hard rock distortion to a saturated lead tone.

The Friedman BE-OD Deluxe also comes with a dedicated 3-band EQ for each overdrive channel, allowing for precise tonal shaping. This, combined with the Drive and Level knobs, gives you access to a wide array of overdrive tones, from warm and bassy to aggressive and mid-focused.

The pedal's robust aluminum housing and high-quality components are designed to withstand the rigors of live performance. The large, textured knobs ensure a non-slip grip, even in the heat of a performance, while the soft-touch footswitches allow for smooth channel engagement.
