Capture the legendary, hot-rodded British high-gain sound of the iconic Friedman JOSE 100 in a versatile, compact 20-watt 1x12" combo format. Developed by Dave Friedman in close collaboration with Marisol Arredondo (daughter of legendary amp modifier Jose Arredondo), the JOSE 20 Series delivers the unmistakable voice, harmonic complexity, and touch-sensitive response that defined generations of rock history—ideal for the studio, stage, or home.

Jose Arredondo’s groundbreaking amplifier modifications helped define the sound of high-gain rock. His hot-rodded British amplifiers delivered greater sustain, richer harmonics, tighter low end, and a more responsive feel than players had ever experienced. They weren’t production amplifiers - they were individually modified instruments that became the secret weapon of countless professional guitarists and inspired generations of players, builders, and tone chasers.

The JOSE 20 Series distills that unmistakable voice into a compact 20-watt platform without sacrificing the character that made the originals legendary. Internally bridged Volume I and Volume II recreate the classic channel-jumping technique players once achieved with patch cables, blending bright attack with warm body to create the rich harmonic foundation at the heart of the Jose sound.

The unique three-position Gain Style switch further expands the JOSE 20’s tonal palette by repositioning the master volume within the circuit while introducing diode clipping for additional bite and sustain. Rather than simply adding more gain, each position reshapes the amplifier’s response, delivering everything from articulate hot-rodded Plexi crunch to crushing rhythm tones and fluid, harmonically rich lead sounds – all while remaining unmistakably Jose.
