The Friedman JEL 1x12" is a closed-back extension cabinet that utilizes tongue and groove Baltic birch construction to deliver the bass, mid response, and great sound you expect from a Friedman cab. The JEL 112 cab features red tolex, white piping and black grille cloth, designed to cosmetically match the Friedman Signature Jake E Lee Junior head.

At the heart of the cab is a Celestion G12M-65 Creamback 16 Ohm speaker. The G12M Creamback is perhaps the definitive vintage Celestion ceramic magnet guitar speaker. Developed in the mid-’60s, it was quickly adopted by players like Jimi Hendrix, Beck and Jimmy Page, who typified the louder and more aggressive blues-rock playing styles that came to characterize that era. The higher power handling G12M-65 Creamback used in the JEL 1x12 produces that familiar woody tone, making it ideally suited when both vintage and modern tones are desired. The increased power handling brings with it low-end grunt complementing the warm and vocal mid-range, crunchy upper mids and sweet, refined highs.

As with all Friedman cabinets, oversized 12-gauge speaker wire is soldered between the speaker and terminal, assuring you capture every ounce of valuable tone. This compact little monster not only excels in the studio, but is also the perfect complement for any stereo or wet/dry/wet rig. The Friedman JEL 112 is handcrafted in the United States and designed to withstand the rigors of the road.
