Jake E Lee Signature 20-Watt All-Tube Head
After the huge success of the limited edition JEL-100 signature head, Jake E. Lee and Dave Friedman have once again combined their legendary ears and talents to create the new Jake E. Lee 20 head, a signature amplifier that delivers the ultimate Lee tones in a compact 20-watt package. The Baltic birch hardshell case is presented in a beautiful signature red Tolex with contrasting white edging.
Jake E Lee is a giant of rock music. With Ozzy Osbourne, his post-Ozzy band, Badlands, and more recently with his own band, Red Dragon Cartel, Lee's playing embraces '80s athleticism while remaining firmly rooted in the fundamentals of '70s hard rock.
Jake's tonal choices constitute the evolutionary glue between the sounds of these two great eras. This new signature amplifier brings these tones in a user-friendly 20w package with features normally only found on the most high-end amplifiers. Dave Friedman has done it again.
CAB SIMULATED XLR
The Jake E. Lee 20 Head features internal charging and a simulated XLR output. By comparing this analog circuit to some of the most complex integrated circuits, Dave achieved a direct output that you can proudly send to the front of the room or use in the studio.
SILENT RECORDING
The JEL-20 also allows you to play "quietly", meaning you can use the amp safely WITHOUT having a speaker plugged in. The XLR output is equipped with a ground switch, a level switch and a speaker cone center and edge simulation switch.
PRECISION EFFECTS LOOP
The Jake E. Lee effects loop was designed to support pedals like no other, especially boosts, ODs, phasers, flangers, tremolos and wahs.
LEGENDARY TRANSPARENCY
The ultra-transparent serial effects loop supports time-based effects pedals and rack units alike. This is the exact same effects loop that Friedman uses on all of his amplifiers, including the legendary BE-100.
