FMAN has made a name for himself as THE reference for hot rodded Marshall tones. The B100D is a pinnacle of this legendary amp line.
The Clean channel delivers Plexi-like tones that are a bit more less raw and strident than the vintage specimen – it is a bit more refined and controlled, while still retining the Plexi-style character.
The BE Channel sports heaps of gain, has a character that is smooth and dynamic at the same time, while still retaining that MRSH style bite and definition to the upper mids. The liveliness, balance and musicality of this channel is addictive. Nothing else delivers comparable tones – very dynamic despite the gainy character and extremely flexible thanks to a lot of switching options. This is THE platform for classic Rock tones and beyound.
The Boosted BE channel heats things further up and delivers high gain tones with a MRSH style tone that lives in the mids. It might be the first amp we’ve encountered that does high gain with this amount of mid content and sounds good at it. It doesn’t want or like to be scooped out and where it shines is the extremely dynamic response thanks to the power amp being heavily involved in the tone-shaping and distortion.
If you want one amp that covers pretty much any amount of gain for any genre with a MRSH style tonal character that is a bit more controlled, refined and modern, this is it.
The amp was tracked through a MES 4X12 and a G12M25 and V30 Speaker mix (exactly as in FMAN 4X12 cabs), 2X Royer R121, 1X Beyerdynamic M16 and 1X Neumann U87 mics.
The set includes 24 captures ranging from clean to High Gain. Please refer to the table under the product pics for detailed info on each capture.

Punchy and Real!
I absolutely love the tone of this capture, there's nothing else like it, really punchy and mid heavy tones available with this, I am only using the Nano Cortex for this, but I imagine with more custom CAB IRs it'll shine even more. Amalgamaudio captures are the best bar none.
Fantastic!
Very tight, full, round, Marshall tone. Capture tones are awesome. We run this through the FX loop on a 100W combo amp with a Celestion FRLR speaker.
Terrific!
Absolutely love every capture in this pack! You cant go wrong with this one guys, dont think about it too much! After this ill get the DI expansion packs to experiment a little bit
Great, but some capture have delay in resposiveness and are not usable
Like other guy said, some captures (for example FMAN B100D III Gain WRM DI.nam and FMAN B100D II Gain FAT DI.nam) are unusuable due to high delay while playing through them. Hopefully this gets fixed and we get new files to download.
Wonderful!
Really nice clean tones. Overall a good variety of tones that sound top quality.
Wide range of great tones
I'm running these through a power amp to a cab via the Tonex and the tones are amazing. Well deserved reputation for great captures!
Incredible amp for various styles
I have seen tons of YouTube videos about this amp and always wanted to play one. My wish came true thanks to this Amalgam captures pack. I have found a lot of great tones in it, and it is really easy to use. I have EMG 57 pickups, so I simply picked the Bright captures and it always felt and sounded spot on. The profiles works as well really well with my collection of Bogren Digital and Owmhammer IRs. The IRs provided are really nice. We, guitar player, are leaving in a golden age.
Friedman pur
Der FMAN B100 ist im Rockbereich nicht wegzudenken. Dieses Capture klingt absolut identisch. Gute Arbeit :-))
Best Drive Tones
I love the drive sounds from this amp. The core DI of this amp blew me away, so I had to buy the expansion packet as well. Still don't regret it ;)
Amazing captures!
Captures are very detailed and very dynamics. The included IR is a nice addition and sounds/feels great. The documentation is top notch, as is the nomenclature of the captures. Everything is easy to navigate and understand.
Absolutely amazing!
Those Friedman Be100 deluxe captures are insane! They are absolutely true to the real amp and they screams under the fingers. Another great pack from Amalgamaudio. Their customer service is one of the best outhere. ????????????
I have the real amp. The captures nail the tone.
I have opened a be100 deluxe for about 3 years so I know the amp very well. Like all of Karlis’s work this one is equally impeccable. From cleanish to edge of breakup to high gain Marshall-style grind this capture series delivers. I am equally enamored by the full capture vs. DI and cab. With other capture makers I always find the full capture too muddy or dark but AA’s full captures are different.
Huge!
I’ll frequently blend Marshall type Lead and Bass spec amps together for a massive sound. This capture set does that sound in a single instance. Easy!
Jazz to Metal With One Amp
I've told others a bunch of times getting into software based guitar gear to grab a BE100 emulation. The 3 channels will give you almost everything you need to play any music. And I've bought a few plugins over the years that do it well. The captures for NAM here are absolutely top notch and sound amazing. A lot of useable tones for basically any genre. Throw a tubescreamer emulation in front and you can start chugging pretty darn hard. If you're looking for a super versatile set of tones to use for everything from cleans to metal this will make you smile ear to ear with every profile you bring up.
My fav british style tones
I'm not usually a fan of V30 speakers (at least for the way I play) but here they blend perfectly with the greenbacks. All the channels are great, I brought it for the crunch sounds but was surprised by how good the cleans are. Very punchy and articulate, and there is so much clarity even in the highest gain sounds, I can use a lot more distortion than I usually would and still hear every note even in complex chords
Excellent tones
Really digging these captures. Clean up very well if needed!
Doesn't work
Included IR files won't load and there's a noticeable delay on 6 out of the 24 captures which makes it extremely annoying to play.
FMAN B100D
I recently acquired the Amalgam FMAN B100D for my Quad Cortex and I am very pleased with my purchase. The sound is amazing! I highly recommend!
Best BE Deluxe captures bar none!
These captures are amazing! Very little (if any) adjustments necessary! Absolutely outstanding!
A modern Marshall on steroids
The sonical range that these captures cover is like no other. But the crunch and overdriven tones are where BE100 Deluxe shows it true character. From articulate plexi tones to tight, high gain Marshall on steroids tones David Friedman has made a monster of an amp. This amp has a midrange the cuts nicely through the mix and let's the guitar easily mark it's territory among the other instruments. I've tried many BE100 Deluxe captures but none come close to the true character of this beast that Amalgam Audio have captured and delivered to us in the high quality and audio clarity possible. This is a must have as it's one of AA's best amp captures for anything rock and metal.
