Early Access! Checking out the Friedman Jake E Lee IR-J!
Added 2024-10-17 15:09:14 +0000 UTCCause why not?!?!
I'm putting the regular, ad-laiden, and shorter cut up for the public tomorrow, but why make you all wait?! This Bad Larry just hit the market, and y'all need to know about it! I know you all like things that are nice (as do i), so you probably need to be checking this out.
I know there's a lot of you all that want to record great rock and metal sounds at home but either:
A: don't want the hassle and volume of setting up a cab and mics and all that mess
B: don't want to go the digital route with plugins or modelers
This is SUCH a great solution. It's tube-powered, it's got an FX loop for your favorite pedals, and you can run it straight into your interface. It couldn't be much easier!!!
Snag the download of that tune and help me name the dang thing hahaha

I have a JCM 800 studio 20 water. Could I still use this as an input somehow or would that sort of defeat the purpose?

2025-01-13 22:59:49 +0000 UTCPurchased one because I love Jake and because of this video. It just showed up this morning. OMG! Brilliant piece of work. Through an FRFR, it is perfect. Just for a laugh I ran it through the FX return of an old 90s Fender Ultimate Chorus to see what it sounded like….. it may become my go to rig. It sounded incredible. The clean channel with the pristine chorus of that amp was a thing of beauty. I was considering a JEL 20 but this will probably end the want/need for that amp after I try it through a power amp pedal and a 1x12 cab. I still need to try it through headphones and into an interface to see how it works for practice, late night, and recording situations. Either way I am in love with this little box and it is going to become a mainstay of my setup.

2024-10-21 13:37:08 +0000 UTC@Jake: Swear you will carry on until you and RDC finally make it to Germany! Had tickets for Munich, but the tour got called off. Bummer! Been Waiting to see you again since the Bark at the Moon Tour!!! Seriously, man, as underrated as you are, I think you probably don't know what an iconic guy you are for a lot of people. And not just because of your second to none guitar playing, but also for your straight talking, no bullshit attitude. Wish you all the best and a complete recovery. Cheers, Holger from lower Bavaria

2024-10-20 16:53:54 +0000 UTCI think Jake does not get enough love for how great the transition was from Randy. His work with Ozzy is fantastic. I am not so sure anyone in "The Pantheon" could have done it any better. I am so glad he is ok after a ridiculous and terrifying random act of violence. Ben, it would be a kindness if you provided tab for the clean section from minute 20 to 21... Love the opening track!

2024-10-18 19:22:57 +0000 UTCGreat stuff, man. Question: does the IR-J have enough preamp tube power to run the Ox Box?

2024-10-18 17:47:08 +0000 UTCUnbelievable tones! Great stuff, Ben!
Tim Radle
2024-10-18 15:53:56 +0000 UTCGOD DAMN Uncle Ben that track just gave the whole world an erection Whats that chord progression you're playing in Clean at around 20:10? It sounds really familiar but I can't place it
Jake Raymor
2024-10-18 13:06:25 +0000 UTCI saw Courtney Cox (Iron Maidens, Burning Witches) demo this on FB, and then you posted this. I’m sold. Bought one this morning. Hope you have a speedy recovery Jake! Glad you are still with us!

2024-10-17 15:19:04 +0000 UTCGot a mix between Jake E Lee and John Sykes on that opening track!
Justin Shipley
2024-10-17 15:17:15 +0000 UTCAny idea why this one is $100 more than the IR-D and IR-X? I thought they were pretty much functionally equivalent. To my ears, it sounds better, how do you feel?

2024-10-17 15:16:29 +0000 UTC....and prayers for full recovery for Jake!!!
