The Friedman Jerry Cantrell Signature is a 20-watt 2-channel all-tube guitar amplifier head from Friedman Amplification, developed with Alice in Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell. Two channels reflect Cantrell tonal requirements for his dark, sludgy clean and high-gain lead tone that defines Alice in Chains guitar character. Friedman hand-wired boutique construction at 20W makes it adaptable to studio recording and smaller performance contexts while retaining professional quality.
