The Friedman Buxom Betty is a 50-watt hand-wired guitar amplifier known for blending the dynamic shimmer of American vintage tube combos with the powerful roar of classic British stacks. Developed by Brainworx and officially endorsed by Friedman Amplifiers, this plug-in delivers an authentic emulation of the original dual EL34 amplifier, designed exclusively for UAD hardware and UA Audio Interfaces. It offers guitarists a rich tonal palette, from clean, sparkling sounds to aggressive overdrive, all within a single-channel format.

This plug-in provides seamless integration with UA Interfaces, allowing zero-latency tracking through the Friedman Buxom Betty sound engine. Users can explore 100 meticulously captured recording chains featuring a variety of boutique cabinets and vintage microphones, with additional tonal shaping through the built-in FX Rack. This includes vintage delay effects, noise gate, and high/low filters, enabling precise control over tone and dynamics. The amplifier's touch-sensitive response and bright switch emulate the feel of the original hardware, making it easy to vary tones organically using the guitar's volume control.

The Friedman Buxom Betty plug-in also incorporates Brainworx's FX Rack, adding a Noise Gate, switchable filters, and a Power Soak circuit that lets you dial in overdrive without increasing output gain. With 100 impulse response recording chains captured through a vintage Neve console and high-end outboard gear, it delivers polished, studio-ready tones instantly. Leveraging UA's Unison technology, the plug-in accurately reproduces the amplifier's impedance, gain staging, and circuit behavior, providing a highly authentic playing experience.
