Heard today that B.A.D. are looking to do a whole range of these from their stable - so possibly Morgan, Soldano etc....

Aaah what the hell is Dave Friedman doing. Spends his time wanking on about how modelers suck and Chewb amps rule and all that because they sound way better then goes and releases this.
Chasing the market I guess.

Definitely seems like a cash grab. Not that he's short of any I'd imagine. Doesn't stop plenty of TGP'ers gushing over it though.
Loving it so far

I believe it is just that
30W power amp is class d. The beod is great for a pedal but this thing just seems like a cash grab for someone who wants something with Friedman on it

I should have patented my first gigging rig then. Tech 21 British pedal, Behringer power amp, Laney cab...

That FRFR monitor thing got hammered in reviews though. Mostly because it was shit for the price.

I like it, I don’t think I’d ever buy one because as Kris said it may as well be 1watt as I think it’s for the bedroom player who wants it to look like a Friedman head not just be a pedal. Although I’d imagine it makes little difference to cost being 1watt class D compared to 30watts? I’d be surprised if it doesn’t sell well.
