The 50-watt Friedman Buxom Betty is what guitar amp fantasies are made of — a gorgeous, hand-wired single-channel amp that delivers the dynamic shimmer of American vintage tube combos as well as the comely roar of classic British stacks.
Developed by Brainworx, and officially endorsed by Friedman Amplifiers, the Friedman Buxom Betty Amplifier plug-in masterfully emulates this 50-watt, dual EL34 jaw dropper, exclusively for UAD hardware and UA Audio Interfaces:
Run the Gamut
From punchy chicken-pickin' to lush clean chords to classic in-your-face rock and roll raunch, the Friedman Buxom Betty delivers. By perfectly capturing its tastefully voiced EQ and three-position bright switch — as well as its dynamic, touch-sensitive feel — the Friedman Buxom Betty plug-in lets you organically vary your tones, simply by using your guitar's volume control. Choose between high/low inputs for even more textures, and revel in how easy it is to conjure satisfying, clanging clean tones and rich harmonic distortions.
Friedman FX Rack
The Friedman Buxom Betty plug-in offers additional control over your tones via the Brainworx FX Rack. It features a Noise Gate, switchable high and low-pass filters, and a Power Soak circuit that allows you to dial in as much overdrive as you want, without having to crank the output gain.
The Friedman Buxom Betty also includes 100 impulse response Recording Chains that were perfectly captured from several boutique cabinets and recorded through Brainworx's vintage Neve console with an array of high-end and vintage microphones and outboard gear, giving you "record ready" tones, instantly.
Unison Technology for UA Audio Interfaces
Harnessing UA's groundbreaking Unison technology, the Friedman Buxom Betty plug-in gives you the impedance, gain staging, and circuit behaviors that have contributed to making it one of Friedman's most popular designs.

Does not convince me very much. Every JTM45 offers a better combination of American and British voicing in my opinion.
Much too loose, too muddy bass combined with much too shrill, too thin sounding treble and almost no British mids is not really a great voicing for me. Does not sound like a good Tweed amp, does not sound like a good Plexi to me, much too unbalanced, neither fish nor meat sound for my taste.
Worst of both worlds, so to say. But this anyway is my impression of most Friedman amps. American obviously have not really a talent for British voiced amps in my opinion. They are embossed on typical Fender tones from their birth on.
Germans do a better job, if it comes to British voiced amps, think of Diezel or Engl.
