FMAN 100 Deluxe DI - ToneX V2

The FMAN 100 Deluxe V2 DI Pack delivers a complete set of high-fidelity DI captures based on the Friedman BE-100 Deluxe head, captured using ToneX V2 AI Machine Modeling for improved dynamic response, low-end control, and pick attack accuracy. These captures translate the amp’s full tonal range, from Plexi-style cleans and warm crunch to tight modern high-gain tones, while preserving clarity and responsiveness.

About the Amp

The Friedman BE-100 Deluxe is a versatile high-gain amplifier designed to cover both classic and modern tones. Hand-built with premium components, it features multiple channels, voicing options, and gain stages that allow for everything from touch-sensitive cleans to saturated lead tones. Its Plexi-inspired character and smooth, controlled response make it a go-to platform for expressive, dynamic playing.

What’s Included

• 44 DI captures for complete routing flexibility with your preferred impulse responses or real cabinets
• Carefully dialed gain stages, EQ profiles, and voicings based on real BE-100 Deluxe configurations
• Tones covering Plexi-style cleans, edge-of-breakup crunch, and modern high-gain lead sounds

Tone and Usage

These DI captures are designed to give you full control over your final tone. Pair them with your preferred IRs, cabinet simulations, or a real power amp and guitar cabinet to shape everything from tight modern response to more open, vintage-style voicing.

The models are built to respond naturally to picking dynamics and guitar volume, maintaining clarity, articulation, and consistent gain structure across a wide range of playing styles.

Who This Pack Is For

• Guitarists seeking high-quality Friedman tones in a flexible DI format
• Producers and engineers looking for recording-ready amp captures with full tonal control
• Players who want both classic and modern tones adaptable to any cabinet or IR setup

Setup Notes

Created and tested using a Universal Audio Apollo interface, calibrated to +12.5 dBu for a consistent input reference.

For best results, start with your ToneX Pedal or software input trim at 0 dB (unity gain) and adjust to taste. We recommend setting input gain using your highest-output pickups as a baseline, allowing other guitars to scale naturally from there. Input level directly affects gain structure, dynamics, and overall response.

* You need IK Multimedia's ToneX software or pedal to be able to play these captures!
