The Pink Taco V2 is a 20-watt, single-channel Friedman head and 1×12 combo, conceived as a compact little sister to the BE-100. Three 12AX7s feed a cathode-biased pair of EL84s, with gain, master, bass, middle and treble controls plus an S switch for gain structure, a Sat switch for heavier saturation and a Fat switch for a thicker low end. It has a series effects loop and 4, 8 and 16 ohm outputs.
