Get a Boutique Blend of Classic American and British Amp tones

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, the Friedman Buxom Betty Amplifier plug-in masterfully emulates this 50-watt, dual EL34 jaw dropper.

Explore Killer Tones for Any Genre

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, 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 clean tones and rich harmonic distortions.

Take your Tones Further with 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 wan. Plus, with 100 impulse response Recording Chains featuring perfectly captured cabinets recorded through a vintage Neve console, you'll get "record ready" tones, instantly.

Play "Through" a Boutique Tube Amp with Unison™ Technology

Harnessing UA’s groundbreaking Unison technology for Apollo interfaces, 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.

What They Say

The UAD Buxom Betty amp plug-in sounds just like the real thing.

Dave Friedman

Friedman Amplification

A lot of amp plug-ins seem to smear the image slightly and not be as present in the final mix. The Friedman Amplifier plug-ins sound fat and keeps its presence.

Jeff Balding

Taylor Swift, The Eagles, Florida Georgia Line

The Friedman Amplifiers Collection is one of the best sounding rock amp simulators I have heard. Using it with the Distortion essentials bundle is a match made in heaven.
