Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Friedman JEL-20 is a fantastic tribute amp, nailing Jake E. Lee's signature sounds from his glory days. It's a great option for players seeking that '80s hard rock/metal vibe at a manageable volume, and the built-in cab sim is a real boon for home recording. It’s a premium-priced, focused amp – not a do-everything platform, but it excels at what it’s designed to do.
