IR-J boasts two fully independent foot-switchable channels based on Friedman’s legendary JEL-100 and JEL-20 designs which are rooted in Dave’s modded ‘800\/PLEXI circuits. Powered by two high-voltage 12AX7 preamp tubes, each channel delivers deep harmonic richness and the touch response of a large format Friedman tube amp. The SYNERGY powered, state of the art, ultra-low latency, DSP IR cabinet\/power amp simulation sends a studio-quality mic’d-up tone to your DAW or Front-of-House. The IR-J provides easy-to-use controls without complex menus and 100-page manuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_dark\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJake E Lee\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_5 twoCol  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_dark\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJake E Lee ranks high on the shortlist of influential gunslinger guitarists that emerged as the heroes of a new generation in the early ‘80s. Best known for his burning guitar work and innovative songwriting, Lee contributed to two of Ozzy Osbourne’s most revered albums, 1983’s Bark at the Moon and 1986’s Ultimate Sin.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Ozzy, his post-Ozzy band, Badlands and most recently, with his own group, Red Dragon Cartel, Lee’s playing embraced the athleticism of the ‘80s while remaining firmly rooted in the hard rock fundamentals of the ‘70s. Jake’s tonal choices provide the evolutionary glue between the sonics of those two great eras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the massively successful release of the limited edition JEL-100 and JEL-20 signature heads, Jake E Lee and Dave Friedman have teamed-up, once again, using their legendary ears and talents to create the new IR-J, a signature all-tube direct solution that offers Lee’s ultimate tones in a compact pedal board friendly format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Lee’s own words, “Dave has an innate understanding of where I’m coming from as a player and we’re alike in the way we hear tones. Dave doesn’t hear things as a technician, he hears things like a musician, and that made him really easy to work with. I grew up in the ‘70s and those muscular, articulate rock tones were the tones I always sought, but I made a name for myself in the ‘80s when you needed a little more aggression and a little more scream. I’ve always tried to retain a little of that ‘70s heart and I still do, and that’s what this preamp does — though it’s got plenty more on tap if you need it!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eALL-TUBE FRIEDMAN TONE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIR-J isn't simulating a Friedman tube preamp.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is one\u003c\/strong\u003e.
