What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

The Friedman Jake E. Lee 50-watt head is a ferocious yet refined all-tube amplifier built to capture classic hot-rodded British tone with modern control and reliability. Handwired in the USA with custom transformers, it delivers punchy EL34 power, rich harmonic complexity, and exceptional touch sensitivity across its JEL and Plexi channels. Three-way bright switches, flexible gain structures, and an ultra-transparent effects loop make it incredibly adaptable without feeling complicated. Rear-panel presence and thump controls fine-tune the feel to any cab or room. Bold, articulate, and unapologetically musical, this Friedman is a serious long-term investment for players who demand authority, nuance, and unmistakable character.

Manufacturer's Description from Other

Jake 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 the 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. Jake E Lee and Dave Friedman combined their legendary ears and talents to create the new Friedman JEL-50, a signature amplifier that offers Lee’s ultimate tones in a boutique hand-wired package.
