Just like everyone else, im between this and the be100 deluxe. I think ill go for the SSv2 for simplicity. I want to plug in and play 80s hair metal until my heart is content. It sounds smoother as well to me.
I don’t know how I missed this video for 2 months! Better late than never…. I saw your comments on how you tried out a BE DLX before settling on the SS100V2. Do you mind comparing the distortion channels? I have the SS and am wondering if it would be redundant to get the BE DLX synergy module.
Hey man! The SS is smoother out of the two and has a simpler design, but the BE dlx offers a ton of variety with all of the available options. Both have that classic Friedman / Marshall sound. I think they are similar enough since they cover the same territory, so I probably would stick with one or the other. You could find a place that has a good return policy, so you can check out the module and return it if you think it's too similar
Hey Mike! I was too, and you can see which one I went with. I tried the BE delux at Motor City Guitar, then Marty called Dave and I had a chance to speak with him about the differences. Straight from Dave’s mouth: the SS100 is smoother but still can get aggressive. That’s when I put in my order for the SS100. I also like simplicity and a crystal clear clean channel 👍
It can get really close, like super close, but if you really only care about a plexi sound I think there are other amps in the line that are a bit cheaper. If you want a high gain amp that can also get in plexi territory, so a more modern and versatile amp, then the SS is a great choice.
@@sir.shreddington yeah it would be nice to have both on a sigle amp. best of both worlds. and your tune sounds awesome.. my kinda style anyways. 70's ..80's and like modern too. thinking of getting an SS. this is why i like to listen to demo's to convince me. like to make the right choice cause these amps pretty pricey.
@able1115 Thanks man! In context, I demoed a BE-delux and I'm super happy I went with the SS. It has a pristine clean channel and between the SS and SS+ channels you can get everything from plexi to super hot rod gain. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the BED, but it doesn't need it. Simplicity ftw.

@@sir.shreddington Thanks, man! Hey, one more thing. Do you use a boost pedal for the SS? If so, which is your favorite?
Lately I’ve been favoring an SD-1, and it’s waza counter part. It’s a classic for a reason!
I'm currently faced with the purchase decision - BE-100 DLX or SS-100 V2 🤔

can you get a good plexi sound with this SS V2 amp? i've heard an small box 50 in person and loved it.
