Anyone checked out the youtube clips of the Friedman BE-100 plugin for the apollo twin duo MK-2?



[youtube]https://youtu.be/WzPu8SP-Zb8/youtube]Sound pretty awesome in my opinion.

Logged into amazon and picked one up the other day. The thing is pretty pricey and the plugins are also not cheap. Ill post a sound clip or two when I get it.

Looks nice. I am interested in soundclips. The virtual amps are an awesome addition to our tube amps. Not a substitute, but a great addition. I wonder if George will join in on this at some point ?

I have an Apollo Twin too. Great little interface. I've been using the UAD plug ins for years.

Haven't tried the Friedman plug in. Dave said they nailed it. I did hear the Marshall 1959 plug in and wasn't impressed. I guess it sounded like the reference amp, but that amp wouldn't have been my first choice to emulate.

I'd love to work with Softube or Brainworks on a plug in version of a vintage amp. It would be great to see their process. I have to wonder if they account for the DC operating shifts and other dynamic things happening in tube amps.

got the apollo twin the other day. pretty easy to setup but so many options with the software. made a quick clip. still need to play around with everything. So far pretty impressed.

Glad you guys had a brief conversation on these Apollo interfaces, what great reviews on interfaces and plug ins
I just pulled the plug to purchase the Apollo twin USB version

they had a great bonus of additional Neve and Fairchild plugins if purchased by Dec 31

I love my Apollo and UA plugins. Just racked up on their Christmas sale. I got two bundles of 3. With each came a free fourth one AND i got a $25 coupon on each. Thats 8 plugins that would have cost me $2492.00 but I paid $748

im getting some good sounds with the Friedman BE-100 into the echoplex then finished off with some EMT 140 reverb. The holiday sale on that stuff was awesome.

you should post a clip of Friedman, echoplex and emt plate !!

I am pretty pumped, mine arrives today

I threw myself into as many youtube videos, as I could this weekend

to soften the learning curve.

some of the vocal videos were outstanding.

time to also get a Rode NT-1 or a Audio Technica AT-4047......never ends

Made clip with some EMT-140 reverb. Still working on the echoplex. Ill tell you those Sweetened tunings sure make a difference.

Ibrown-
That Sound clip sounds great! That reverb is very complimentary!
Thanks for posting that*
The sweetened tunings are great-
The right precise!

What are the "sweetened tunings"? Are those on the Friedman?

its a setting on some Peterson Strobe tuners. Really makes those bar chords in Running with the Devil sound good.

I finally have things up and running with my UAD Apollo Twin / had to invest in new computer / my laptop couldn't hang

oh well / so worth it !! This little system is outstanding ! / and the fact you can demo ANY UAD plug in instantly
is pretty bad ass

tonight is first night really messing with / demo'd the LA-2A , echoplex , some of the other reverbs, channel strips

What is very cool is you can demo full version of the FRIEDMAN BE100 for 14 days / badass plugin !! BTW

here is a clip / of EVH" Let's get Rockin "or "Outta Space" on new album.

I had it dialed in meaner prior to this clip / but didn't save settings

UAD mic preamp / BE100 plug in / DAW

Clip sounds awesome man. Im really happy with the apollo twin. The BE-100 into the EMT-140 with a little echoplex on it sounds awesome. Crazy how pricey the plugins are now. The Holiday sale is the only way to go.

man , Lbrown , Thanks again for starting this thread ! I would not have known what was out there as far as UAD products goes ..... maybe somewhere down the line ......

I have been pulling and buying plugins off KVR audio for years / this stuff is a whole new level

I will buy the Friedman Amp plug in / everything else out there ..
I need to try and maybe look into the bundled items that came with the unit.

I will be churning some clips and recording this weekend for sure -

I have a lot of original music and playing thru the BE100 / well it put big smile on my face, this sounds nice
