Electric guitar preamp in rack
The FRIEDMAN Jake E Lee IR-J Dual Tube Preamp & DI dual-channel tube preamp is an entire Friedman rig in a compact pedalboard-friendly package. A genuine preamp in every way, IR-J delivers all the tone, response, gain characteristics, and harmonic complexity you expect from a Friedman design.
IR-J boasts two fully independent foot-switchable channels based on Friedman’s legendary JEL-100 and JEL-20 designs which are rooted in Dave’s modded ‘800/PLEXI circuits. Powered by two high-voltage 12AX7 preamp tubes, each channel delivers deep harmonic richness and the touch response of a large format Friedman tube amp. The SYNERGY powered, state of the art, ultra-low latency, DSP IR cabinet/power amp simulation sends a studio-quality mic’d-up tone to your DAW or Front-of-House. The IR-J provides easy-to-use controls without complex menus and 100-page manuals.
The IR-J combines high-voltage tube preamp tone with a powerful digital engine for impulse responses and power amp simulation. The oversized 500 Mhz ARM DSP processor is utilized solely for these two functions resulting in performance that is vastly better than competing products. How good? 50ms Impulse Response length in under 1ms of latency! This is compared to most products today which are only capable of achieving 20ms IR length at 1ms latency. At 20ms length the resolution is only 48hz, meaning the impulse response will mostly sound the same under 150hz – these are the critical frequencies where “punch” lives.
Both channels feature their own independent and highly tweakable TS style Boost circuits (a first in the Friedman IR line). Each Boost has a dedicated Tone and Volume for maximum control. This famous Green machine is well known in the world of ‘800 style amps and will complement the tone nicely. This essentially gives you four channels, accessible with the tap of your foot.
IR-J gives you astounding tonal control, but its included Friedman Editor software takes it to a new level. With it, you can tweak each channel’s power amp simulation via the Thump, Presence, Low-Pass Filter controls, load your favorite IRs, activate the Boost Lock feature, select loop ON/OFF and save it all to 128 MIDI presets.
