Freeman BE-OD – Eagle and Gerber Files

Product Format Clarification

This product includes digital design files only — no physical PCB is shipped.

With these files, you can order PCBs directly from a manufacturer (e.g., JLCPCB, PCBWay) for as little as $2 for 5 boards.
Typical production time is 3 days, and international shipping starts at $12, taking about 4 days via DHL to most locations.

You’re free to edit the design and add your own branding.

Upon Purchase, You’ll Receive:

• Eagle CAD files (.SCH & .BRD) — fully editable and compatible with KiCad

• Industry-standard Gerber files for PCB fabrication

• Quick-start guide explaining how to use the files

• Download link for the free version of Eagle CAD

After purchase, you will receive a payment link by email. Once the payment is completed, the design files will be sent to you within 8 hours. We’re currently working on automating this process, but for now, orders are handled manually.

Note: You must use these files with a PCB manufacturer to produce your boards.
No pre-assembled or pre-made circuit boards are included.

These design files are intended for personal use and small production runs of your own pedals, not for resale as kits or standalone PCBs.

Project overview

Based on the Friedman BE-OD. Versatile Overdrive, from classic British flavored tones to the high gain territory.

Introduction

Freeman BE-OD has the original controls of the mystic amp ready for you to dial everything from smooth breakup to sustaining metal tones.

If you want the sonic flexibility of Friedman’s BE100 guitar amplifier in a compact pedal, here is the perfect board for you!

If you like this pedal, we recommend taking a look at our Freeman Unchained. This new launch is inspired by the BE-OD Deluxe, a dual pedal that features the BE-OD and Friedman’s Dirty Shirley together, unleashing the full potential of the Friedman brand in a single board.

• Treble – EQ for the treble frequencies
• Presence – Controls the upper mid-range frequencies.
• Volume – Controls the output volume
