Friedman has teamed up with Jake E. Lee of Ozzy Osbourne fame for a brand new signature model, the IR-J dual-channel tube preamp.
The IR-J is an entire Friedman rig in a compact pedalboard-friendly package. IR-J boasts two fully independent foot-switchable channels based on Friedman’s legendary JEL-100 and JEL-20 designs, and is powered by two high-voltage 12AX7 preamp tubes.
The IR-J features two fully independent foot-switchable channels with Volume, Gain, 3-Band EQ, Boost Volume and switches for Bright and IR select. Channel 2 includes a two-position gain structure switch.
Channel 1 takes your tone from bluesy, British-voiced cleans to a muscular Plexi-style roar. Engage Channel 2 for the Friedman signature higher-gain JEL voice and all the percussive punch, note clarity and singing sustain that comes with it. Use the lower gain switch setting to access the classic 800 style preamp circuit everyone knows and loves.
The IR-J also includes the Friedman Editor software where you can tweak each channel’s power amp simulation via the Thump, Presence, Low-Pass Filter controls, load your favorite IRs, activate the Boost Lock feature, select loop ON/OFF and save it all to 128 MIDI presets.
Get the IR-J here for $599.99.
