Friedman Mini 30 Watt Amp Demo | Testing Phil McKnight’s Recommendation
????Curse that Phil McKnight, I wasn’t in the market for a mini amp but at $99 you’re not not going to buy it right? Well it is here, was lucky enough to get one before they sold out.
????Just a quick run through of this amp today for those that can still snag a deal, or find it elsewhere. But WOW, Friedman even solid state is fantastic.

The thing looks really cool, aesthetically pleasing. If I didn't have my little Roland Micro Cube (which barely gets use these days), I'd probably pick one of these up as a tiny practice amp. Great video and demo.
I got mine today. I’m questioning Phil as this amp can’t do clean at all. Lol. What’s he smoking? I’m trying to decide if it’s worth keeping since it’s pretty noisy even with the gain all the way down.
All minis made by same company , which is why you got an SLO manual
Modeling junk
Yup. Phil got me too. Had to pick up the BE Mini for myself as well and now I'm stuck building and finishing a StewMac speaker cab kit too because I'm too stupid to just buy something somebody else did all the work of finishing. ????????
This SS amp at 30 watts will make a great studio gig
I get a killer tone out of my Bogner Ecstasy Mini – I'd buy another one for $99. Have the Soldano SLO Mini too but it doesn't sound nearly as good as the Bogner ????
That was interesting. Had never seen one of those.
Great amp, especially at that price. I have several amps from that series. Sounds great on a 2×12 & 4×12.
This a plugin in the box.Nothing more than that.
Might have to look into a mini amp now that I just rent a room.
Pretty cramped in here, something like this might just be the solution I need!
Dave Friedman said it not meant to be a practice gimmick amp. Pete Thorn did a video and talks about it on his review. I think it’s probably just a pedal being pushed through a small transistor. You would probably be better off with a spark amp from positive grid for the money.
I'm glad I got my Be mini instead of the Diezel VH Micro which were both on sale for 99 bucks, it's now sold out and Sweetwater not carrying them no more ????
Considering how small that thing is, it sounds pretty great tbf ????
JOYO BanTamP xL MBII. It's a 20 watt MesaBoogie/rectifier sounding mini amp for around $130.00. It's a BEAST!!! Don't let the 20 watts fool ya. With a (1 or 2) 12 inch speaker cabinet it will rock your world…
Why do strat guys always play lead on the neck pickup? They like muddy flub? Lmao
$250 now
Quite the deal! Thanks, Brian! Cheers
he got me too! lol
I purchased on as well because of Mr. McKnight, and I think it sounds great.
SLO is same company. Boutique Amp Distribution or something like that. This is the BE pedal with a power amp, right? Sounds a little different than my BE100D head.
No link? $249 now that everyone knows ????????
I don't even think it's worth $99. All of these "mini" amps are made in the same place and are basically the same amp. Probably explains why you got a Soldano slo manual in yours, lol.
Sweet! I ordered one right after Phil said that ???????? mine's on backorder…supposed to be here next week..????????????
Ohh that books mine. I didn't get anything with mine. Because it was a return. I was mad and called them. They said "you get what you get" No box, no book. ….. But they assured me that it was new…
Sounds quite farty
Cant beat it. I saw that deal a couple weeks ago . Had to buy another one as I already have 2 of them. So now I'll have 3 . Lol
Their just fun for more of a gritty sound . Not as useful for cleaner sounds.
Very Cool, Thankyou Brian. Awesome Unboxing/Demo/Review Video. I am not in the Market for any new amps…. but if I could get that Deal I would have 3 new Amps… All the Best
. I’m glad I didn’t pull the trigger. Very good deal for what it is, but not better than what I got.
they definately sold you a return or open box
should have been in plastic the box was sealed and the directions were friedman not soldano although the same company makes those minis i use it on 2 marshall micro stack cabs
Cool little amp, ????????????????
Cool amp sounds great! Your Christmas tree made me smile, it needs some love!????
I'm sensing a future case of Amp Stockpile Syndrome
Awesome ????
These little amp heads are way cooler than most people would think. I got the Soldano version a while back, and it kills through my vintage JCM 800 combos 2×12 speakers (Neo cream back) and an H&K tubemeister 1×12 cab with a V30, but I'd love to run it full bore through a 4×12 Marshall cab. ????????
Cool amp and vid! Great price and Friedman is quality gear ????
That actually sounds great, and for $99? If my wishlists weren't already outrunning my paychecks, I'd have added this to my list too. Great demo Brian!
Just the name Friedman screams I’m not plastic ???? so it’s worth the 100 bro.. nice amp and sounds cool too! Plus a loop shoots man ????????????????????
Eh what is this?? All of a sudden I see some powerchords!! Dude!!! ????????????????ya man!!
I too ran over to sweetwater shortly after Phil posted about this amp. I got mine a few days ago and didn't even look at the paperwork. However, mine did have a plastic bag wrapped around it with that shock pad endcapping it. Also, this is class D which they don't need a speaker load to operate. So, you can run the Effect send to a power amp to "hear" it. It's a versatile little amp. I'm using two 1×12 V30s. 🙂
This is a cool little amp, especially for 99 bucks. Having a FX loop at that price is a huge bonus too. I knew tons of guys would run and buy it as soon as he mentioned it, lol. ????????????
DANG! $99? That's nuts. I need it.
Thanks for the review/demo.
Cool little amp. Soldano in the box is weird.
I had one. Can't beat it for $99. Good demo Brian
That’s a really nice buy.
