Snuck in The Cure at the end there. Nice !

[@shredward666]

So thankful he’s not dead. Get well soon Jake🤘

[@WavyNinja]

Get well soon Jake E. Lee! Keep rockin'

[@braxal6983]

It is amazing. I come from growing up in the 70's and 80's and none of these good things were even remotely available. I really wish I had it back then instead of in my late 50's but what the heck I am enjoying it now. Moving on and happy about it! Great demo Ben!

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

I am 60 and I feel what you said bro. If we had this then? The newer guys are spoiled. But. We did have a lot of cool stuff no lie.

[@lorelei2002]

Yeah we are lucky to have this without a doubt. Its the older guitarists who keep me humble tho as they are my influences

[@itay92w]

Thanks god he is still with us 🙏🎸

[@paulmales1889]

Got my IR-J yesterday, it’s beyond words . I can’t see how this could possibly be improved upon for my 70s/80’s hard rock/metal needs . Dave Friedman is the amp building genius, Jake is an 80’s metal guitar genius so put the two together and this is what you get . Get well soon Jake , if you survived Ozzy and Sharon at their worst you’ll bounce back from being shot several times no problem 🤘

[@randallhaney7909]

Sending good energy to Jake E. Lee, Hoping he makes a full recovery and is out of the hospital soon. Feel better Picker.

[@jimlaurita1487]

🙏 for Jake! He is the reason I started guitar lessons at 14...ONE listen to Bark at the Moon, and I was done! Get well soon!!

[@gunkyzip]

If anyone ever complains a guy has too many guitars, the demo track is why we have so many!

[@djmessina9278]

We love you bro, get better soon! I live in Vegas and heard about this early in the morning on the local news. They sure took their time mentioning that he survived! Such a huge relief. You have more music to make, Jake! Wish you the best.

[@huffdm]

That was some slick playing on those hot rodded strats Uncle Ben! Wishing Jake a speedy recovery, long live rock and roll! 🤘

[@StageLeftConceptsLLC]

That’s absolutely amazing sounding! The Friedman Jake design is one of the best tones, ever! But, you also make everything sound great Mr. Eller. To me, it’s hard to find a bad tone when you’re playing. Amazing!! Thank you for doing this!!

[@ronaldsmith8966]

Prayers for Jake’s full and fast recovery!

[@deezcookies6292]

Prayers up for Jake. Incredible talent and the reason why I ever picked up a guitar.

[@jfo3000]

This is really sounding like an amp, dynamic, no fizz. Wow! Wishing you a speedy recovery Jake, prayers!

[@superinsomniaddict]

This is awesome! Thank you for showing us the way, Uncle Ben. Hang in there, Jake! 🤘❤️🎸

[@mathtrixmusiclix4248]

Get well soon Jake. Thinking of you.🇨🇦

[@reaverofsouls]

Well timed vid, Uncle Ben. And get well soon, Jake.

[@flibo]

Those are some really nice tones you get with light picking / plucking, especially with the single coils. Impressive dynamics!

[@DookyShoes1]

Much love and prayers for Jake - get well soon!

[@anish3183]

Get well soon, Jake E.! Amazing guitarist.

[@LucasMastropasqua]

Awesome demo! Honestly one of the best sounding demos of the IR-J so far. 🤘🤘🤘

[@BenEller]

Thanks dude!

[@PlayFloyd_IN]

Wishing Jake E Lee a swift recovery. Easily, one of my favourite guitarists of all time. 🙏 Thanks for the video as always, Ben. It's much appreciated. 🤘♥️

[@chucksaeger7500]

Those were some great sounds! Get well soon Jake!

[@CC-qb9sm]

Jake was a part of my first real live metal experience! Jake with Ozzy on the Bark at the Moon tour with Mötley Crüe opening in support of their Shout at the Devil album. What an introduction to an awesome world of live music. Epic!! 🤘🤘🤘 I hope you mend quickly, Jake! Wishing you a speedy recovery! Great meet the machines episode uncle Ben.

[@edwardkania9622]

You make it all look so effortless, Ben. Impressive.

[@silvertear87]

Sending love and get well soon wishes to Jake. Rock on Ben! Sounds amazing 🤘🤘

[@dmac3316]

Speedy recovery Jake! I was torn between the IR-X and IR-D but I’m really digging this thing. So versatile and what a range of tones 🤘

[@andrewpappas9311]

Definitely impressed by how good that sounds, it’s an absolute beast of an amp but here’s a speedy recovery to Jake. He’s such a criminally underrated player and it’s just insane what happened to him, so hope you get well soon, man

[@russelltaylor3102]

That is a great piece of kit!! Great review Ben 👏 Hopefully Jake is recovering well 🙏

[@BenEller]

I hope so too!

[@patbusnello9658]

Great tones, great video! Get well, Jake! 🙏

[@jackclayton5620]

That was the best intro ever! That rocked so hard 🤘

[@BenEller]

Thanks dude!!!

[@PooNinja]

So glad you didn’t play Shot in the dark, jakes playing was awesome on that track. I just hope he has a full recovery from his latest incident! 😕

[@victorvaldenegro4001]

Speedy recovery, Jake! My IR-J is arriving tomorrow. Can’t wait!

[@SlimeyGuitarStrings]

I'm surprised more people don't get you to do amp demos. I think yours are in the upper echelon of amp demos. This JEL sounds incredible and I appreciated that you mentioned the cleaner tones you could get.

[@BenEller]

Thanks a lot! Truth be told, I get a lot of requests for demo stuff of all kinds, but I have always sought to keep my waters pure; no pay to play, no pay to promote, none of that. I only make videos about pieces of gear I ACTUALLY love and will ACTUALLY use!

[@leannamuir7928]

Hang in there Jake We are all rooting for you

[@deltalegendsguitaramplific5450]

Thanks Uncle Ben !!

[@osanan]

The intro song and the tones there are absolutely killer!!! What a great review! 🤟🏽👽

[@ginoriffs9923]

It's killer look and great tone,God Bless you and Jake E Lee.

[@BladeHudson]

This is positive energy, Hate the news we heard about Jake. He shall get well soon💯🙏🏾

[@chriss1492]

Get well Jake! What an incredible player! Absolutely senseless and tragic attack that I hope he recovers from 100%!

[@lemac3200]

I was shocked to hear of the incident. Jake E. Lee is one of my greatest influences. Love his music 'til the end! All the best to him!

[@bobbythompson5435]

Jake e Lee get well soon my friend.

[@lemac3200]

What a time for us guitar players to be alive, indeed! The knowledge of the entire musical history of mankind at your fingertips for free and awesome technical inventions readily available! AWESOME!

[@chadr2843]

Ah, nice touch with the fender at the end!

[@Charlie_Parra]

Tasty playing, Uncle Ben!!!

[@kayakwesty]

Heal up Jake ...prayers your way.

[@jimwatson5977]

Perfect Sean Connery. Well played Sir.

[@FirestormAudio]

Dude! That opening track was awesome!

[@Haggis5115]

Hi from France dear Ben. Great Demo & Awesome Playing in the opening song as usual ! "Jake in the Box" would have been a perfect title for this composition 😉 Keep safe and Keep it up dear Ben, you definitely Rock

[@RonnieThrillsap]

That melody rules Uncle Ben

[@BenEller]

Thanks Ronnie!

[@DarthV506]

Get well Jake. Such an underrated player!

[@humphet]

He's gonna be alright. Phew Now back to shredding Morning Uncle ben 🥂

[@darrenwardell3079]

Want one 🤘🏻

[@TjByers369]

Backpack rigs are where it's at. Guitar, amp pedal, in ears, & stage clothes in a soft pack. Carry on shredder.

[@IgorGabriel-uo7jj]

That green jackson looks amazing, you should make a video showing your guitar collection, that would be neat

[@amesmilesoff4768]

Cheers Ben 🤘

[@eduardosci1909]

Very good playin' and tones. Thumbs up!

[@BenEller]

Thanks a lot!

[@dustman247]

Jake inspired me to have a guitar color matched to his (blue, found in a Young Guitar magazine in '87) made by ESP.; it's nicknamed Jake for him and it's the only blue guitar I own (At the time, I was Vernon Reid's guitar tech, so it's also multi swirled). Jake is a big influence on me since I saw him on the Bark At The Moon tour, on through Badlands and Red Dragon Cartel. I wish him a speedy recovery and hope to have him back out there rockin'! BTW, the pedal is 🔥; I have an EH Hot Tubes and Mesa Boogie preamp pedal and if a pedal has real tubes in it, I'm in 💯! Thanks for the demo, Ben! I didn't know it was available.

[@wackojacko3962]

Man! ...you are really a fine guitarist. 🤘

[@BenEller]

Thanks!

[@skelapop]

Luv your solo on the Fender Strat👌🏻

[@Ibaneddie76]

Nice little Cure tribute at the end of the song that was tasty! I want one of these they look cool of course I want the amp too!

[@SethWorsham]

Sweet pedal! Please heal asap Jake, we want to see you playing live again! 🤘🤘🙏🍻

[@johnmayse4647]

Get Better Soon Jake E Lee!!

[@rickg5424]

Uncle Ben the more better shreader! One more time at stepdad speed! Ditto your well wishes for Jake E. Lee, one amazing guitarist!

[@Javier-qk7ms]

Having a JB in that guitar also helps getting the JEL sound. That Jackson looks great.

[@OverpoweredByMonk]

*Barking at the fucking moon* get well soon Jake!!

[@jim3541]

That intro was awesome

[@BenEller]

Thanks dude!

[@chriskoutsoumpas6772]

How is this possible that demo songs just like this one are miles better than "official" music out there? Blows my mind...

[@McBain-qe2jh]

Damn, that has a Jake E. Bite. Awesome!!

[@williamhernandez5542]

Get well soon Jake !

[@ClassicPass_]

Ending with a Cure callout? I will always love you... Uncle Ben. 😅

[@BenEller]

Hahaha glad you caught that!!!

[@stepitupandgo67]

Also get well soon Jake!!

[@TheMasonator777]

Really nice tune man.

[@BenEller]

Thanks for listening

[@TheMasonator777]

@@BenEller You betcha. Loved chatting with you about Ratt in the early days of the channel.

[@damonsdeliberatedetour492]

Wished him well in my new video today and as usual I send everyone towards you, Andy and more!

[@eddiesalazar5808]

Good song and sweet playing Ben! Caught that Lil Cure part at the end of your solo! Very sneaky lol

[@BenEller]

Eyyyyy hahaha

[@jessepaul8819]

Love this. You REALLy need to show all these people how good Robert Smith (The Cure) is as a guitar player. I know you’re a fan

[@jefflebowski1838]

Best Video of the pedal at yt

[@BenEller]

Thank you!

[@axeman2415]

Get better, Jake! We need our hero back in top form!

[@ericjupe1539]

Mankind needs its Legends more than ever. Get well soon so I can come see you play (Bucket list).

[@BinarySecond]

Title after this week damn bro

[@xavierortiz2690]

Wicked Game🔥

[@Deltan1967]

Excellent. Now I can sound exactly like Jake did before he could play. Edit: Hope you get better soon, Jake.

[@addicted2tone349]

People can talk EVH all day long but Jake is a beast, I loved his Badlands tones. They were the epitome of JCM 800 goodness.

[@JuddOakes]

look at that wicked game you play

[@pyratoothNL]

It was weird to hear Jake E. Lee twice in one week and one for them for all the wrong reasons. I'm glad to hear he's expected to make a full recovery and hope the one he got in his arm won't affect his playing. Get well soon Jake🙏. As for the box, TBH it's a great deal for the price, especially if you're looking an amp these days. When I saw it was Friedman I expected it would come at premium but it's reasonable, especially considering the cost of an equivalent set of tube heads.

[@michaelwashington4996]

Fuggin choppy Step Dad sickness my man! love your work Ben

[@MarkKirbyMusic]

Get well Jake! The real gem in this video were all those hidden ‘80s riffs. 🤘(and of course the pedal rules the school)

[@BernieForMayor]

Now I need a box that makes me PLAY like Jake.

[@ronniecoffey9945]

Jake Survives ❤✝️😎🔥 true Solider !!! and highly Underrated & Exceptional player, God's watching over you brother ❤ get well soon

[@tone-talk]

Ripping intro song, Uncle Ben!
