- Phil X demoing the incredible Friedman BE-100 Tube Head. PAN HARD LEFT TO HEAR DRY ONLY. IT"S THAT SIMPLE :)
I'm certainly glad that Van Halen used delay on VH1 to create the benchmark Brown Sound, that most of us love!!!

One of the best tones I have ever heard in a demo. Thumb up!
Might be my favorite amp-demo video of all time...
I ended up getting one of these based mostly on this demo. I must say that just over a year later, I am still blown away by this amp every time I turn it on. It really is worth every penny.
"What? $3000.00 for a guitar amp? What they're thinking? That's stupid"
Phil-X: "That's an E chord..."
"I'm sold! Shut up and take my money!! "
Actually, it's more like $3,600.00. I bought one, and I have never regretted it from day one. It's amazing ..
goneflying140 man I played one want one so Sd but can’t afford it
LOL
Renato Cara what goes into this amp is more better quality and handwired
@@jessetate9701 So many stellar guitarists over the years would go to Friedman to have him mod their stock Marshall amps. He became a legend as an amp tech, and the line of Friedman amps is the result. The Friedman "Pink Taco" is a smaller amp ( and a bit cheaper ) that is more suited for club gigs & recording studios, but it still has all the killer tones & more than enough to cut through when performing in larger venues. It's my personal preference among these killer amps. 100 watts is simply far too loud for over 90% of the gigs that most working musicians will perform in anyway. But make no mistake, the little Pink Taco can STILL get you evicted, lol. Believe that.
This is about as close to the "God tone" us old school hot rodded Marshall plexi freaks have always sought as one can possibly get. And Phil X is nuts good and entertaining!
I've watched a thousand amp reviews, and a thousand Phil X videos, but this is pretty much the best of both.
One of the best amp reviews I've ever seen. Very nice tone and playing!
Aye - amp sounds badass, playing sounds badass!
Phil X Not included.
Malcolm Reynolds he’s a rad guitar player and an awesome dude and you’re concerned about his political beliefs? Fuck off
Jeff this is pro gear however ... not average
😢
That first E-chord blown my mind. Pure hard rock tone, on of the best I have heard in ages
And what a KILLER version of Little Wing!!!!
10:21
Damn, Phil X doesn't need a band. I could just watch him play.
Legendary video, I still watch this in 2019! Gotta love Phil X!
Its 2020 and i am back again... still don't own one of these amazing amps.
It was thanks to this video that I now own two Friedman's. A 77' Marshall JMP "Kitchen Sink" mod and a BE100. Two of the best purchases I've made in nearly 40 years of being a tonally obsessed, guitar freak. And I can tell you first hand, the BE100 sounds EXACTLY LIKE THIS. Not just close....EXACTLY! Seriously! I've never been happier than I am with my Friedman's. Forget the high price. If you want the tone - THIS IS IT! And worth every penny.
This review pulled the switch for me. Thank you - I have one on order.
xprophets Congrats!! You will be very happy you did. I love mine more the longer I own it. Just flat out incredible tone and feel.
I can't get over the sound of that Luxxtone and Friedman, sounds like my dream setup
Whenever I set up my speakers I play this video because of the godly mix and unreal playing.
Gotta love a tight bottom end.
one of the best sounding amps ive ever heard. that luxxtone strat was some next level shit to
A 70's Marshall 50 watter will give you the same tone imo. Can't afford neither unfortunately !
@@rickleblanc8900 Not a stock JMP .
@@Stefan-Van-der-Pulst With my Marshall 4-12 Greenback cab and 70's Strat, yes. Maybe i was blessed by the rock gods or something, that amp was magical, raw and amazing. One of only 2 best Marshalls I've ever played through in my life. Unfortunately, i don't have a recording or video of that, but i stand by my comment. It was one of those "you had to be there" or "seeing is believing" moments. I was flabbergasted, mainly !
"I gotta take this home man"
Most accurate comment in the video.
Great playing and his infectious enthusiasm for music is always inspiring.
I don't know how many times I've come back to listen to this amazing amp demonstration.
Fuck!!!! These heads are amazing.. just wish they were little more affordable. Thank you for having the wet dry signal panned..
Fuuuuuuuuuuh... Rock and roll lives in this amp and his fingers.
The switch between the van halen-esque shredding and the Little Wing rendition...he played it with so much soul it was surprising. Real musician here. That was beautiful and super entertaining.
damn @ 8:32 Phil sounds more like Van Halen than Van Halen sounds like Van Halen today.
PIlotrcm I could easily mistake this for the album version... Such a good amp
Jordan
+PIlotrcm ... not in your dreams...
+John J. Sanchez
Not in my dreams what?
+jerry jah huh?
Amazing playing, especially the little wing :)
holy fuck! little wing was AMAZING!!!!
This is the BEST amp demo and strat demo I've ever seen! Holy shit.... he nails Van Halen's mythical brown sound then nails Jimi.. wtf??? Because Of this video ...I've have called luxxtone to talk about a custom choppa s and they couldn't be nicer. Keep the "rockness" flowing Phil x.
Listened with headphones...had to crank to full volume! Sounded so freakin good! Man that guy can play!!! I always love watching Phil play too...he loves it so much! He always gets into it. Nice to see someone making a living doing what they love to do...awesome!
When he played that Hendrix piece...I almost cried, it sounded so good!
Van Halen to Hendrix. Son of a bitch.
Phil X sounds amazing no matter what he plays through or with....the guy is a legend.
What Phil is doing to that Luxxtone strat is not legal in many countries!😂
Whenever I feel low I put this vid on and feel good with the world again!
What a player. Little Wing at the end is what sells me on this amp
That's the sort of Curry House I want to go to....
Thats the greatest amp demo I've ever seen. Holy hell. The dude drove through Page, Van Halen, and Jimi like a Mack truck.
Have you seen his fretted Americana videos? The amount of songs Phil knows is insane lol
Mark, you're my hero! It's amazing how you find such killer tones. It's loud, bright, huge! AWESOME! Thanks for sharing it!
That is a rich tone. Super harmonic. Bright and deep too. Love the brown sound when it is done right. Most pedals can't cop that.
lol. Phil X is the guitar player's reviewer. All you want to hear is "aww yeah" and killer riffage.
Your one of the first rock guitarist demo guys that hasn't bored me to death with your playing, nice combination of chords and lead, real nice sound of the amps and guitars.
This is one of your best videos Phil X! Thanks for sharing.
This amp will for sure put distortion pedal out of business, sounds great!!!
+Bruzz Boe At $3,500 per amp, definitely not. But who cares, Friedman's going to release this in a pedal version in a few months, so us poor folks can have a piece of this awesome tone as well!
Line out box to a TC2290 and Matrix GT800FX power amp.
The FX loop on this amp is great, I use it for my rig and the amp sounds fantastic from whisper to LOUD. I love this amp!!
Great demo. Phil is mental ! Really love his tone, attitude & awesome chops too.
So many years later and this is still the best rock tone ever recorded
I can watch this daily!!
Would love to know the delay settings!?
Maybe the Best Rock Amp in History ....
I love Phil's take on "little wing" ...snazzy...he's a great player
DUDE!!
I'm watching this vid every couple a days, it's just totally satisfying to hear Phil play the guitar over that amp.
God I love Phil X
Loved it. 11:13-11:15 damn thats sweet. Keep jamming!
You know how you can tell this is a great amp,there are no bad demos of be100.it sounds awesome no matter who plays it.Phil x i love your demos you are so excited about the equipment you are demoing and are able to bring out the best tones out of whatever you are playing.
It sounds incredible when Phil plays it. I finally got to try one today. It just sounded okay. The main drawback is that unless you're going to be playing stadiums there isn't much use for it. I had the master on 1 in the enclosed amp room at the store where I was checking it out and things were vibrating pretty heavily in there. If you played it at home on 1 your neighbors would call the police.
Because Phil is using what VH used back when his guitar ruled!! EL34'S And a Marshall Style Amplifier!!
I dont need this amp. I never play outside of my bedroom really. It makes zero sense. BUT I WANT IT.
Carr Mercury V
Want and Need are 2 different things lol
Man! That's one of the coolest guitar sounds I've ever come across! I love the way his P90 and the drive of the amp mesh together! Plus, his licks sound killer.
thats the most awesome guitar video i have ever seen.. that was just spot on!! love you Phil X !!!
12:25 The clean tones at lower volume sound amazing.
I cannot afford $3500 amazing.
Guess I'll have to wait for the "Made in Korea" version. : (
"This is just an E-chord"...
Makes me SPOOGE!
THE best Phil X tone I've heard!!! Great sounding amp!
One of my favorite players and personalities!
As good as the amp sounds(and it does sound awesome!), Phil X sounds better! Such an incredible player and performer and he sings pretty damn good, as well!
1 months after my posting I bought Motor City 2nd Black Belt with Woodward pickups. Next week I put my order in for a Friedman Dirty Shirley. Oh yes I am drooling to get my first Friedman amp.
So how you like the 2nd Degree Black Belts? Did you mean Woodward or 2nd DBB in neck or bridge? I've really been wanting a set of Motor City Pickups for as long as I can remember, but never have pulled the trigger. I do know that the 2nd DBB is Dave's favorite pickup, so it MUST sound good right, lol.
*****
Sold my Dirty Shirley to get a Small Box. Yes the pickups are worth it. However, I find myself using JB with Texas Specials more often. Nothing to do with Motor City's quality. Just personal preferences. Still have them and use them.
How's the small box head
Late, sorry for that. Live it is incredible, but very loud for home use. Bought a Orange OR-15 for home use.
Phenomenal tone. I am speechless.
amazing tones, amazing amp. AND sick crazy playing man! Rock on \m/
Phil: ok so this is just an E chord
goes on to start shredding
I LOVE CLASSIC SOUND (Marshall style)
just run across this video, Phil damn awesome playing man and wow, sound of that amp! just bought me a Friedman! Rock On 🤘🏻
what up Scott. my phone died and I am rewatching the Johnny Beane show. thanks for the heads up on the Mettallica customtone uploads. just saw the comment. Rock on. I used to work with Phil x in LA when he was in the band powder. Hes a cool Dude. ROCK ON MAN
the 70 dislikes on this video are Nickleback fans for sure.
Randall owners.
i just shot milk out my nose lol
^ interesting capability. you live in chernobyl?
Lol
Oh man the nickleback joke aye? You sir are unique and edgy!
I'm not gonna buy this amp... ...but how much is Phil X please?
4000.00 Just for head
@@george25199 over 5K where i live ! Ridiculous. Somebody has one for sale, used/mint condition. Asking $3900, almost a great deal ! Lol
Damn what a great sounding amp
I love Phil's playing style with that big stadium delay! sounds amazing!
Man....this amp is so puuuuuuuuuurfect. So pure, rich and round sounding.
Shit, now I have to learn Mean Street!
no neck pickup right?
Anıl Yazar yep, typical for Phil x. He once had a 24 fret guitar in which he never used the neck pickup and so he pulled it out and noticed that the guitar sounded different, in his eyes better, because there were less magnets which stopped the string from vibrating and so on. So he pulled it out on every other guitar too.
phil great tones thanks..always fun enjoyed
fantastic sounding amp and great playing Phil.
thumbs up!
Great sounding amp, but did they really have to call it the butthole??
Friedman uses funny names for all his amps.. Dirty Shirly, Pink Taco, Smallbox 50 and such. The brown eye came from the fact that you get Van Halen's brown sound with this amp. That's where the brown eye came from...
"The brown sound"
Brown Eye is like $3,500 and you're lucky if you can find a TC 2290 for under a grand. Not to mention that reverb unit and the Les Paul...hmm, $10,000 set up. I can afford that.
PIlotrcm man who just plays guitar can afford the beauty of free music! Man who plays guitar and owns gun can enjoy beautiful friedman for no cost!
2290!!!! Hell yeah...I love Phil, such a natural showman...he was destined to be famous.
Loved it. Amazing guitar amp and outstanding dude behind the guitar :)
Is Phil X Sammy Hagar's son?????? Yikes its spooky. Love Phil X and a great talent. But, holy cow...some DNA got spilt somewhere.
:-)
Sammy Hagar is Phil X father they wont admit it but just compare them its Sammy son!!!
Yes as above. I've checked EVERY BE100 sound online & I can NOT find a bad sound. They are freaking amazing amps
Beautiful sounding amp. That Zep riff sounded so sweet
Phil X cost me 5000 Bucks ..... Oh Yeah !!!! 8:58 ... Lol
It doesn't sound like a master volume amp.
Think so too - it sound like its cranked nmv amp ... always! (at least mine does :D )
Christian Grumann Why yes... yes it does! No plexi getting in this range without mods or cranks for an hour baking the tubes... love this amp...
Great sound! Cleans up really nice! Little wing was so tasty!
I get here at least once a year. Phil is incredible
Seeing a guy like Phil I'm like: Damn Rock is not dead, fuck the haters, bring the rockin on and slay with some chords
+BadHatHarry Come out to LA sometime and hit the Rainbow Room for much much more of that. Its great.
Sounds nice. But at $4k, it's outrageously overpriced and overhyped. Very few people need a 100w head. Even in clubs, it's just too much. Remember, this is 1930's radio technology, hardly worth $4k.
I think you can get LOTS of tones out of this amp.
Sounds just so amazing!
Dirty Shirley knarl for my ears all night long. really digging the neck pickup. Gibson's getting It right lately.that strat was workin!! I'm that one??? F--K yeah!! Can't go wrong for brown tones here. Nailed it. If that's your thing. But powerage is my favorite album. JTM-45 ALL NIGHT
Gibson trashed Yamaha LOL
Yea, and the strat smoked em both.
+TruVue Home Inspections nice joke 😁
+Dejan Ilić if only I was joking
I think single coils sound great with distortion. However, I do think they require different settings or types of overdrive to sound their best.
one of the greatest guitar player thanks Phil x
Killer playing and killer tone. Awesome demo.
my favorite guitar video on YT. the holy grail.
I can’t believe that this video is 10 years old. I remember when it came out.
Phil X just slayed this demo. What a smokin' player. Cheers
Great amp. I'm new to Phil X, but he really impresses me, cuz I can hear his own thing mixed in nicely when he plays The Greats.
My honest congratulations to the designer.It sounds astonishing
