Experience the ultimate blend of vintage and modern rock.
The Friedman JEL-50 is not just another tube guitar amp; it's a meticulously crafted boutique powerhouse designed for discerning rock guitarists who demand nothing less than the legendary tones of Jake E. Lee. Collaboratively developed with the iconic guitarist renowned for his work with Ozzy Osbourne, this hand-wired amp head paired with its 2x12 cabinet stack seamlessly blends vintage warmth with the aggressive punch of '80s hard rock.
Unleash Vintage and Modern Tones
With the JEL-50, you have the unique ability to harness two of Lee's signature tones in one exceptional amp. Experience the rich, dynamic response of a classic Plexi alongside the robust drive and sustain characteristic of later master volume amplifiers. Crafted through a close partnership between Jake E. Lee and amp innovator Dave Friedman, this amp underwent extensive refinement to capture the ultimate sound that inspires both iconic riffs and personal expression.
Optimized for Effects and Limitless Sustain
Designed for versatility, the JEL-50 excels with pedals—particularly overdrives, boosts, and time-based effects. Its transparent buffered effects loop accommodates everything from vintage stompboxes to cutting-edge rack units, ensuring that your effects shine through with unparalleled clarity. With natural tube compression and sustain, your sound will resonate with life. Plus, the half-power switch allows you to effortlessly drop from 50 to 25 watts, giving you the freedom to crank up the amp for that coveted tone without overwhelming volume.
Timeless Aesthetics and Premium Craftsmanship
The JEL-50 radiates the elegance of a high-end boutique amplifier. Its striking red tolex cabinet with white piping houses two premium speakers, including a Celestion G12M-65 Creamback, ensuring full-bodied sound and rich tonal complexity. Constructed from Baltic birch, the cabinet enhances tonal resonance, delivering articulate lows and mids that will elevate your sound. Every aspect of the JEL-50, from its stunning design to its exceptional performance, is engineered to inspire musicians to reach new heights in their artistry.
