The Friedman Jake E Lee Signature 50W tube guitar amp head brings together the best of '70s and '80s rock tones in a boutique, hand-wired amplifier designed in collaboration with legendary guitarist Jake E Lee. This two-channel, 50-watt amp head delivers Jake’s ultimate tones, blending the warmth and sweetness of a classic Plexi with the aggressive punch of ‘80s master volume amps. Whether you’re crafting searing solos or thick rhythm tones, this amp has you covered.

Custom Voicing With Vintage and Modern Sounds
Designed specifically for Jake E Lee’s playing style, the Friedman JEL-50 combines his iconic tonal influences from the ‘70s and ‘80s into one head. The Plexi channel delivers warm, articulate tones with a 3-way bright switch for added flexibility. Meanwhile, the JEL channel brings a more aggressive sound, perfect for high-gain solos and heavier rhythms. The push-pull gain switch gives you even more tonal options, allowing you to go from classic rock to full-on metal.

Built for Pedal Integration and Time-Based Effects
The JEL-50 is designed to pair perfectly with pedals, including boosts, ODs, phasers, flangers, and wahs. The ultra-transparent, buffered effects loop handles time-based effects and rack units with ease, ensuring that your tone stays clear and articulate. This is the same FX loop used in Friedman’s legendary BE-100 amps, providing the highest quality integration with your gear.

Boutique Build With Premium Components
Hand-wired in the USA, the Friedman JEL-50 features custom USA-made transformers, ensuring reliability and top-notch sound quality. The amp’s cabinet is built from solid Baltic Birch, wrapped in striking red tolex with white piping, giving it a premium look on stage or in the studio. The amp’s rear panel also includes a Thump knob to control the low-end response and a Presence control to adjust the high-end content, giving you full control over your sound.

Designed for Versatility and Durability
The Friedman Jake E Lee Signature 50W amp head is designed for players who need versatility and reliability. Whether you’re switching between channels with the included footswitch or adjusting the amp’s impedance with the 4, 8, and 16-ohm jacks, the JEL-50 is built to perform in any environment. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this amp is ready for the road or the studio.
