Do you need the legendary shred tones of Jake E Lee in one box?!?! Do you need a low wattage all tube amp that can deliver an entire range of British rock tones, from Plexi to 800? DOES IT NEED TO ALSO BE RED?!?!?! If so, you've come to the right place!
On today's episode of Meet the Machines, Uncle Ben Eller here is gonna take you through everything you need to know about one of my new favorite amps, the Friedman JEL-20, the 20 watt cousin to his long-standing 100 watt signature amp!
Use the captions in the bottom left corner to navigate through the videos and hear the entire range of tones this 2 channel amp is capable of. I think you're gonna be impressed, I know I am!!!
Playing it with my Suhr Modern Satin, an occasional SD1 boost, all going through the amazing UA OX. Any delay or reverb is a Logic plugin. Enjoy!

I had the privilege of seeing Jake live with his band Badlands back in 1989. It was life changing for me as a guitarist! Amazing talent!!

@bluegroove536 Год назад

Indeed! Saw them in SF... just Killer!

@jimgodofbiscuits Год назад

Saw him with Ozzy in '83. Great show. Pete Way's Waysted, Motley Crue and Ozzy w/Jake.

@disco4535 Год назад

Theres just something about Friedman's gain/dirt. It's so saturated but really articulate and retains clarity. Sounds amazing

@CrazyHenkie777 Год назад

@garmisra7841 Год назад

Jake E Lee all the way up there with Lynch, and better tban most of the So Cal six stringers from the 80s. Vastly underrated talent. Those riffs on the Badlands records were impeccable.

@MrJvieira72 Год назад

Those Badlands records were some of the best stuff of the genre.

@sighermike Год назад

You can always tell a dude from So Cal. Apparently, we're the only ones who use the phrase So Cal. Honestly, I think the Jake E Lee era of Ozzy was my favorite.

@illiniheel67 Год назад

Pass on Brad...I think that some of Ozzy's worst early solo career efforts were with Jake....I think that he was perfectly in his element with Badlands...it was the separation they both needed... I remember the punch in the face I received from the opening riff on Miracle Man compared to the more pop/commercial/MTV-friendly Jake era Ozzy.

@leftygtrplr6184 Год назад

@@illiniheel67 Different strokes. I couldn't disagree more. Love Speak of the Devil with Brad Gillis and the modern spin he put on all the Sabbath tunes. Then all the Jake releases were my favorites. The first release with Zakk was good, but couldn't come close to any of the previous with Randy, Brad or Jake. In fact, no more Ozzy for me after the Jake years. Again, different strokes...

@jake.e.wanabee5333 Год назад

Jake.E.Lee should be a Hall of Famer and is ridiculously underrated. IMO, I actually love his work in 'Ultimate Sin' over BATM. But Badlands, Holy F**kn Hell he hit the bullseye and the Badlands albums are timeless and filled with amazing riffs, chordal progressions and solos. Love Randy, Zakk is cool, but Jake really hit me with his style, in Ozzy, Badlands, Solo work, and RDC. I want this AMP ASAP. Rock on Jake🤘🤘

Killer amp right there, Uncle Ben! Loved how you built Thin Lizzy's Cold Sweat in the demo riffs.

@philjohnjones Год назад

@ICACJ Год назад

This amp sounds amazing. Frequency response wise it is stellar. There is so much articulation and clarity in the lows, mids and the highs without being muddy or harsh on either end. You can hear every note in those chords. The tones I heard yesterday from Uncle Ben and Pete Thorn are quintessential Marshall rock n' roll goodness. I really wouldn't mind having this thing. Thanks for the demo, Ben. You are appreciated, sir.

@lordgraga Год назад

That's one bloody well designed preamp, really like the range of usable tones you can tweak out of that, really impressive.

Say hello to my li'lle friend! Jake has always knocked me out of my socks. He deserves all the respect in the world. Very unique and unorthodox approach in many aspects. Think I might have to rock out some Badlands tracks! Good to see you are rocking the real knees.... It just sounds awesome, and your playing certainly does it justice, to say the least. The way it retains clarity while grinding out the overdrive is phenomenal, there's a percussive character in there that is very desirable. That was probably the first thing I noticed about the sound. Symptom of the Universe!

@trevorwesterdahl6245 Год назад

Hope you like the amp. I looked it up and it was listing for $1,699. The 5150 III is easily obtained under $700. So, not for me. I bought a rediculous PRS for approximately $5k, so I get if you have cash, who cares. But... after hearing the Boss SDE-3000EVH... I need it and three amps and three cabs... to get wet/dry/wet. I then want to add the mimiq pedal to get that double track sweetness, and for the truly amazing, let me (one guitar player) mimick two... I want to add a harmonizer pedal with the mimiq pedal so I can solo with a pseudo dual guitarist (actually an outstanding rig) playing 1/3 up the scale to get holy crap goodness. So.... I need afforable amps and cabs. LOL BTW: the SDE-3000EVH has the absolute best noise supressor on earth (no noise and you still get trailing delay).

@@No-mart I completely get it. Most don't have the luxury, but if you can get exactly what you want... get exactly what you want. Hope its nailing it for you.

@JackMcLeodJr Год назад

100% agree!! Nice to see that record get some love, I always thought it was overlooked... Never Know Why is one of my all-time favourite hard rock songs, that outro solo in particular has always got me in the gut, superb melody and feel. The only bad thing is that damn fade out JUST as he's truly starting to tear it up. Sharon Osborne probably pulled the plug in the studio just to be spiteful LOL.

@Varone26 Год назад

@@wbk5644 I took a deep dive into that model. The clean channel from my understanding is just a flat clean with minimal breakup. Though there isn’t many demos of the WW20. If it is similar to the Plexi channel on this JEL-20, I would have to consider getting one.

@wbk5644 Год назад

@@Varone26 It’s definitely not the Plexi channel. You are correct that it is more of clean. Although, you can do a gain cut on channel 2 to sort of get you in the ballpark. The other option would be the Smallbox and I can’t recommend that enough. It’s killer. It still sounds awesome at low volume. I prefer the WW version of that too simply because you get another channel for additional gain if you need it.
