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.

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.

Great amp !
Very versatile and works very well with single coils or humbuckers. If I had to choose only one amp… just pay attention to the soak power knob ;)

My favorite amp sim
It really has it all! I especially like the Fender type clean tones. It can get nice and dirty when you need. Overall, an excellent sim. If I had to have only one, this would be it....

Vibraverb?
This amp model reminds me of a brown face fender vibraverb without the “vibra”. I’ve never used Friedman amps so I can’t compare, but I’m please so far....

Great tones, sounds really good with single coil or humbuckers
Have tried to make this sound like the classic british sounds or american and it nails both. Super versatile amp I end up reaching more for than the Fender or Marshall (those are also great...

Found my tone
I've been playing with this on demo fo a few days, and have already found the tone I was looking for. Playing a Strat and looking for some not quite chimey clean tones with a little punch if I dig in. The delay is great for straightforward analog type tones, and the noise gate is easy to dial up (even with delay). It only took me a few hours to know I'd be buying this, and it would be a go to for me. I'd encourage anyone looking for Fender type tones to give this a demo!

The product is awesome! but the customer service sucks! and now it doesn't work
I bough this plug in a couple of weeks ago after clicking the demo and it 's awesome! Loved it...however once the trial period expired now it's not working on my system. I sent multiple emails to UA and I got a reply that they are too busy and that the service ticket is expired. they don;t answer the phone when I call. now I feel ripped off because I paid the $$ and can't use the product and customer service won't reply. I hope someone form UA is reading this and contact me to help...you guys make great products but your support of them is very sub par.

Love the sound
My go to amp. Never fails me. The Unison preamps put that extra Umph I can’t get out of the native version
B. Wallbillich
Very cool
This is an awesome amp for very clean retro sounds, and has some power for crutches and leads.
M. Woolnough
Excellent !
After much deliberating I chose to get Buxom Betty and I'm very happy I did. It's nice and versatile so I 'm finding it my "Go to" already. The way they record the mic's and cab's is mind blowing. It comes "alive" and there's some great recording chains. I would defiantly recommend checking it out.

Outstanding Amp Plugin
This is the best plugin I have used for the Apollo- admittedly I haven't used many. Superb cleans, very user friendly interface and the plugin can be tailored for all types of guitars from SSS to HH. I might sell the Helix after playing this. The delay is the icing on the cake.

Friedman Buxom Betty
I love Friedman Amps, own several to include the Twin Sister. This Buxom Betty plugin is very near the real deal. UA and Friedman did a wonderful job to recreate what the BB is all about. Smooth tone, very responsive to pick attack. Simple to use.
E. Tillmon
Great unison plugin
Great sounds any great veriasions

Great amp sim
Bought this after a demo. Very good choice and I especially like the fact that it has an in built delay which gives lots of options.
J. Tofte
Nice clean tones!
This amp simulation gives me all the nice clean tones I like. My Ibanez artcore and Fender strat guitars sound sweet through this. I am content.
C. Brooks
Buxom Betty does it all!
The BB does everything from crystal cleans to dirty crunch and everything in between. Best of all the UA Amp Sims.
D. Allewelt

I looked for a very nice and warm clean tone. I am very happy with it.
R. Juniel
