Lee’s signature JEL amplifiers into a streamlined, pedalboard-ready stompbox. You get two JEL-voiced channels, equipping you with everything from crystalline cleans to Plexi-style crunch to British-inspired high gain. The IR-J’s amp-like controls comprise a 3-band EQ, TS-style boost, a Bright switch on each channel, and a high\/low Gain switch on the drive channel. With or without a cab, the IR-J will transform your guitar rig into a potent war machine, thanks to its built-in power amp simulator and IR loader, which are bolstered by 18 onboard Friedman cab impulse responses. You also get a transparent-sounding effects loop and comprehensive MIDI control. Moreover, you can use the included Friedman Editor software to tweak the power amp simulation, load your third-party IRs, and more. The IR-J is a formidable DI solution enabling you to achieve legendary levels of tube-fired hard-rock muscle right from your pedalboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo channels of hard-rock and metal tones\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IR-J houses two glowing-hot 12AX7 preamp tubes, running at 300-plus volts, to fully realize Jake E. Lee’s metallic, ’70s-inspired hard-rock tones. Channel one invokes the sweetness and warmth of a classic British non-master-volume amplifier. This channel can deliver sparkling clean tones, juicy edge-of-breakup textures, or full-on hard-rock crunch. Channel one includes a 3-band EQ for sculpting your sound, Volume and Gain knobs, and a 3-way Bright switch. Channel two is the IR-J’s higher-gain channel. At lower gain settings, it’s crunchy as all get-out. At higher gain settings, it’ll have you barking at the moon. Channel two also features a 3-band EQ, Volume and Gain knobs, and a 3-way Bright switch, as well as a high\/low Gain switch that enables you to go from a thunderous growl to all-out high-gain metal territory. Finally, a footswitchable per-channel TS-style boost with dedicated Tone and Volume controls expands your sonic palette with screaming, green-machine-injected flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-block--video-content\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePotent cabinet and power amp simulations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Friedman IR-J on your pedalboard, you can achieve rafter-shaking, arena-worthy tones at any volume — no cab required. For starters, a faithful power amp simulator with software-editable Presence, Thump, and Lowpass Filter controls provides a solid, tube-flavored foundation for your direct-injected tone. The IR-J also includes a state-of-the-art IR loader, which is bolstered by 18 Friedman cabinet impulse responses developed in cooperation with OwnHammer. Each channel includes a 3-way mini toggle for IR selection, or you can load your favorite third-party impulse responses via the included Friedman Editor software. Powered by 500MHz ARM processor; its near-instantaneous response is almost like playing through a real amplifier — even with extra-long impulse responses!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-left webtext-block--mixed-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContains all the features you need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Friedman IR-J includes all the features you’d expect from a high-end preamp, and we’re confident that every guitarist who plugs in will appreciate what this amp has to offer.

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!” —\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJake E.
