Congratulations on purchasing this incredible new
guitar amplifier designed by one of the most well
known amp modders and designers in the LA
Music scene for the past 20 years, Dave Friedman.
Dave Friedman has been designing and building
guitar rigs for the stars since the early nineties.
After many years of modding amplifiers and
consulting for other well-‐known amplifier
companies, Dave has finally brought his talent to a
new line of production amps under his name,
Friedman Amplification.
Dave’s first production amplifier, the BE-‐100, is
criticality acclaimed and one on the most in
demand British high gain meets vintage amps on
the market today. The SmallBox is a 50 Watt Amp
that features 2 channels with Separate Gain and
Volume controls each. The amp has a shared EQ
and FX Loop. The 2 channels are footswitchable.
And of course we include the Footswitch.
The First channel is voiced like the Classic Plexi
amps of British fame. It cleans up very nicely with
the guitar volume. With the guitar volume you
can go from clean-‐ish to crunch to that famous
Plexi like growl. The second channel has that
famous Friedman higher gain distortion and
crunch that we all love. This is a lot of amp in a
50watt package.
The SmallBox takes pedals very well and loves
boosts, OD’s, phasers, flangers, tremolos, wahs,
etc. The SmallBox also has ultra transparent
Series FX loop that takes time based FX pedals and
rack units equally well.

PLUGGING IN
Channel 1 will give you the characteristics of the
old “Plexi” British amps. It can create so many
different tones from clean to dirty and everything
in between. There is no “wrong” setting try the
EQ settings suggested for Ch 2 but play with the
Gain and Master controls. Eg: start with a lower
gain and turn the Master up, then turn the Gain
up and Master down. There is no wrong setting.
For Channel 2 we recommend starting with the
Bass on 8, the mids at around 6 or 7 and the treble
at 5. Set the gain around 8 and then bring the
master to taste. After plugging in, you will notice
instantly, the tight bottom end and rich
harmonically detailed chords and single notes,
that is the Friedman sound. This amp cleans up
remarkably well with the guitar’s volume control
even with the amp on higher gain settings.
We know you will love your new SmallBox. If you
