This demo showcased exactly what I disliked about the BE when I tried it - the congested mids which gets really obnoxious during fast-picked rhythm parts.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera

Compressor? And he is selectively damping if you look closely.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

so good to see musicians playing gently....I bet they can converse without mics during rehearsals. Billy G does like his low power amps - with 8 - 30 something strings and a light touch he is probably barely breaking conversation level. Mr Beard is barely touching his kit...
Never did understand the need to play at ear splitting levels...
