Today we're going to be looking at the Friedman BE-OD, a distortion pedal that was designed to emulate the Friedman Brown Eye Amplifier.

About me
Hi, I'm Stephen and I've been building/modding my own guitar effects for about 4 years. I started building in college to help me understand my circuit theory courses and get some hands on practice with circuits and layouts. Since then I've designed a few of my own effects and done a ton of one-offs, mods, and utility circuits for folks (especially in the worship world).
This blog is mainly about sharing/storing information. I'll include tutorials on a bunch of the mods I do/wish I had starting out. It will also include build reports for different PCBs and vero layouts, reviews of crazy pedals, and some other random stuff I find along the way (probably coffee or whiskey related).
I hope you find this useful. You can always reach me with any questions you have at prentisseffects@gmail.com or on the Madbean Pedals forum (username: sonnyboy27)
