Friedman JEL-20 demo: Channel 1 Plexi Clean
Dave Friedman's new amp, which has been garnering a lot of attention for its fantastic gain channel, is given a demo here but for this one, I'm sticking to the Plexi channel.
I'll try to give some idea that the amp isn't just a metal monster but actually a great amp for all styles.
This is a 20 Watt Marshall inspired valve head which has a complement of 3 12AX7 and 2 EL84 valves in the pre-amp and power section respectively. 20 Watts is LOUD though. It's not a bedroom amp but in comparison to the Jake E Lee 100 Watt version, this one is actually useable outside stadia.
Jake E Lee is a fantastic guitarist who, to my shame, was unknown to me prior to this signature amp being released but having listed to Ozzy's 'Bark at the Moon', I can see why he is so revered.
My demo can't really compete with the shredders and Metal Chuggers™ doing demos of this amp. There are great demos out there, so I thought I would do a part 1 with the amp featuring only the 'clean' channel: channel1.
It's not exactly Fender Twin clean but in comparison to the monster gain of channel 2 it can be described as the Plexi Channel. That is, the sound of an old '60's Marshall without master volume, made in the days where loud was loud and distortion could only be obtained by turning the amp up to apocalyptic levels. This amp in fact has 2 master volumes and 2 gains as it is a 2 channel amp but that gives you 2 completely different voicings available.
So my demo features firstly a Gibson Les Paul 1956 re-issue with P90 pickups and then a PRS Silver Sky. I run through the pickups of each and you can see in the video where the controls were set for each example. I was using a Tone King Ironman II attenuator as well and a Strymon Flint reverb in the loop at the back of the amp. The presence at the back was set to noon.
I'm recording with an SM57 and Rode NT1-A on a Zilla cab with an EVM 12L and the mic is slightly off X axis.
Hopefully you get the idea that this amp is hugely versatile and the Plexi channel could be perfect for any style. Foot switchable to the raging beast of channel 2 and you have everything.
