Friedman JJ Junior Jerry Cantrell Signature | 20-Watt Head

Dave Friedman has been designing and building guitar rigs for the stars since the early nineties. After two decades of modding amplifiers and consulting for other well-known amplifier companies, Dave finally brought his talent to a new line of production amps under his name Friedman Amplification.

Probably the most important of all the Friedman artists is Alice in Chains main man Jerry Cantrell. Having spent time honing and perfecting the rig that delivers Jerry's dynamic and at times crushing tone, through their previous collaboration, the JJ-100, they decided to deliver that same tonal magic into a stage friendly 20-watt monster, the JJ-Junior.

The JJ-Junior still gives you the same 2-channel, EL-powered tone that has carved out a legendary place in rock. All of the saturated, complex harmonic overtones are still lurking inside, as well as the AC30-like cleans.  At 20 watts, the JJ-Junior lets you take the stage, studio, or jam session with total confidence.

The JJ has a host of incredible modern features including an internal load and cab simulated XLR out. Dave Friedman designed this circuit to rival the most intricate IR's to give you a crystal clear signal to send to the FOH or for use in the studio. The JJ Junior also allows you to play "silently," meaning you can safely play the amp WITHOUT having a speaker cabinet connected. The XLR output includes a ground-lift, level, and centre/edge of speaker cone simulation switches.

If you dig Cantrell, this amp is essential but you better believe this is more than just another signature amp, this is a turbo charged tone machine to rival them all!
