Friedman JEL-20 Jake E. Lee 20-watt Tube Head - Red Bronco Tolex
Tube heads built by Friedman are known to have a visceral world-class feel, and now players can relish the sound and features of a 20-watt Friedman built to spec for rock ’n’ roll rebel Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne, Badlands, Red Dragon Cartel). The JEL-20 20-watt tube head features two high-octane channels, a 3-band EQ, two voice switches, and a punchy gain boost that turns hot tones into fire-breathing heat. EL84 power tubes and premium components tailored to 20-watt needs give the JEL-20 massive output and a lucid response similar to a monstrous EL34-powered Friedman head. Don’t believe a 20-watt head can deliver brazen harmonics, snarling crunch, and enduring sustain? The JEL-20 will change your mind. Moreover, the JEL-20 easily slots into studios and boasts the modern connectivity options players prefer. Rear panel cab sim and direct recording options keep setup times low while the JEL-20 churns out true tube tone that brings projects to life.
