Tonal profile

Jake E. Lee signature sibling to the IR-X: two 12AX7s running over 300V in a pedalboard preamp and DI. Two footswitchable channels taken from the JEL-100 and JEL-20 - themselves Friedman-modded 800/Plexi circuits - each with its own volume, gain, EQ and a TS-style boost with independent tone and level. Eighteen Friedman IRs onboard with slots for your own, plus MIDI, a programmable effects loop and a USB editor. Channel one runs classic British clean to crunch; channel two is the high-gain side.
