Friedman JEL 20w compared to Taco v2 Vid

[cragginshred]

Hey all, just spent about 45 mins with the new JEL. The forums are full of words describing tone, I like to hear with my own ears !
context: I've owned and gigged with the BE deluxe (twice) Smallbox (3x) Phil, JJ 100w and Jr, reg PT and still own the V2
Just comparing the JEL 100w to the 20w plexi side
The 20w is spongier and more vintage but gets so mean it loves humbuckers -100w not sure how diff the voicing is or if I was not tapping into the volume needed with the 100w but that's very doubtful. I have vids with that amp on my YT ch a couples years back
The 100w ch 2 was meh -for me. This one is great for solos but still need to dial it in more
Compared to V2 Taco The JEL plexi is more vintage and not quite as raw but still has plenty of mids and is super pleasing to the ears! I make more comments in the video, cheers!

That thing sound wicked! I’m hearing a little bit of “cocked-wah” in the mids going on there. Is that a trait of your bridge pickup?

JEL all the way for me!

Edit: Watched the humbucker section. Not the Tele bridge pickup.
