Given Dave's naming conventions, when you see a Friedman amp listed as an acronym it could either potentially be 'Jake E Lee' or 'Jerkoff Everywhere Lads'. Risky click.
Jake E. Lee, my absolue favourite of the 80s guys. his iconic tone and playing are somewhat underappreciated in my homecountry germany. i heard he was shot not far from his apartment about a week ago and is in the hospital. i wish him well and all the best. this amp is an absolute beast. if the cost factor wasn't so prohibitive, i'd already own the 20watt top with the accompanying 1x12" friedman cab. love that classic hot rodded marshall tone.
I agree!! I use to think Kyle was a little crazy/psycho for real at first lol. Now I feel stupid for thinking that as Kyle was just fukin' around and is actually SUPER funny, very knowledgeable and a classy guy. Cheers!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DEMO the Jake E Lee version of the IR-X pedal,. A.K.A. the IR-J. Ton of videos out already BUT you're the only guy I trust to check the "thump" factor. The way you described the classic Friedman sound and why it's not for you is literally my thought exactly! Cheers bro!
Badlands is in my top 5 of all time. Jake's tone is so thick and smooth. Anyway, I bought the JEL20. Love it. I like to play split through it and the JJ Jr at the same time. :)
@@belligerentamateur Thank you! I have a LP Standard faded that needs some new pickups and he is always in drop C. Would be a killer combination with my Quickrod. Thanks for the video. The JEL50 sounds massive.
Love the videos and this amp sounds good. i would prefer a different color but who plays with the lights on so whatever, who cares its ugly. Its a butter face! Rock on!
I like the Gibson gear! I'm a BLUES LAWYER and hangout at the Gibson Garage. But, I have a SECRET for you. Will you keep my secret?? I play PRS WOOD LIBRARY!!!!
@@belligerentamateur😂 Don’t get me wrong, I’d take that offer too. It just makes me sigh a bit. Do they pay you for a positive review or for any review, regardless of your thoughts? They have to sell them for $3k somehow.
I sold a 5150 to get the JEL 20. Nothing like an EVH. It has a full plexi channel too so great cleans which u can’t get on a 5150. A fully maxed out JEL sounds like a 5150 on the blue channel with gain at 3-4. You can boost it into EVH territory tho for sure.

Hey, Boutique Amp Distribution. Let Kyle demo the Jake E Lee signature IR-X unit.
DAMN!!! That thing sounds brutal!!!
I actually even knew my 100 was autographed for like 6 months 😂
Killer demo-sounds great 🤘
I agree!! I use to think Kyle was a little crazy/psycho for real at first lol. Now I feel stupid for thinking that as Kyle was just fukin' around and is actually SUPER funny, very knowledgeable and a classy guy. Cheers!
Thanks my friend!
@@belligerentamateur You're very welcome dude!!
Sounds raw and open at the same time much like a JCM 800 but better! Dave really did a good job! 🤘🤘🤘
Built for Boosts...
The JEL-50 was specifically designed to take pedals well especially boosts, ODs, phasers, flangers, tremolos, and wahs.
Yeah that sounds MEAN, love it
Totally agree, my favorite Friedman to date by a wide margin!
Holy fuck I'm so jealous of that Heritage.
Awesome review Kyle, that thing sounds awesome!!!
Brutal with the Mr Scary mod
$3k...........no thanks.

My Man! Fingers crossed!
that LP studio sounds soooooo good
The humor in this video makes it that much sweeter!
Glad it made someone smile!

I love my Friedmans.
I want to see the IR-J! The JEL-50 is rad.
Great demo. Would definitely like to see an IR-J review I think only one other channel got thrashy with it.
My man! This helps!
BRUTAL !!!!
Kyle. Have you ever demoed the Friedman Ss100-v2? I would love to see that video.
Thats one badass head for sure!
😮 wow 😮
Any way you could make more captures for the tonex?
You always manage to make amps sound really fizzy and trebly. Are you putting your mic on the center of the cone?
HELL YEAH
Also the SLO is also a modded marshall style, which is pretty much the same as a 6505

Would love to see you demo the IR-J
Let him demo the damn IR-J and then send that to me!!!🤟🏻🤷🏻♂️😀
Did you flip the bright switch for Channel 1 while on channel 2 and then say there was a noticeable difference?
BE-100 Deluxe video coming? Which of the two do you prefer?
Yep! At some point. I have one currently. I’d take the JEL over it in rapid fashion though.
Sigh... starting to think maybe I should have ordered this instead of the BE50.
What pickups are in the LP studio? They sound gnarly
Which one? The faded or the blue LE?
@@belligerentamateur Whoops. The faded
@@NMRJ93 no sweat! Those are the Seymour Duncan Jupier set! They are INSANELY tight and clear when you tune down!

JJ Jr or JEL50??
I play through both with a splitter. What's this "or" stuff? 🙂

PLAY AUTHENTIC OR DIE
Sounding off. Please demo the IR- J. You're one of two people I'm wanting to see demo it. The other is a Swedish guy.
But, will it CHUG???
is it more metal than the runt50
IT's got a little more gain and a LOT more low end than the Runt, and that's coming from someone who LOVES the Runt 50!
Skid marks 🤫
When will we get a hair reveal?
I'll DM you my happy trail
@ only fans preview? 😂
killer riffs ... but your hands look like you're having a stroke. Gotta relax man 😂
Ohhhh sponsored video. No wonder I’ve seen these everywhere the last 24hr with nothing but rave reviews.
Yeah we're all pieces of shit

Thats cool but it's like an evh
Not really at all

Can't stand the color no matter how good it sounds -- Then need another color...UMMMM BLACK!!!!
Umm that color rules and is Jake specific branding. Yeah we need more black amps…NOT
Not personally huge on the red/white but it’s Jake’s thing so it totally makes sense. I believe you can custom order from Dave in any color you want.
@hyperbolekid aren't opinions a wonderful thing, if red is your hard on.. then go for it brother
💩💩💩
Not because I watched the whole thing yet, but because I got instantly brown noted
