Friedman IR-J

The Friedman IR-J is a dual-channel tube preamp designed for guitarists seeking robust tone in a compact format. This pedal features two independent, foot-switchable channels inspired by Friedman’s JEL-100 and JEL-20 models, utilizing modified ‘800/PLEXI circuits for a rich, dynamic sound. Each channel is powered by high-voltage 12AX7 tubes, offering a responsive playing experience typical of larger tube amplifiers. Additionally, the IR-J incorporates advanced DSP IR cabinet and power amp simulation, delivering high-quality, mic’d tones suitable for recording or live performance. Its straightforward controls make it easy to use without the need for extensive manuals.
