I have a JCM 800 studio 20 water. Could I still use this as an input somehow or would that sort of defeat the purpose?

Dildo mashers from space. (Name of the track)

Purchased one because I love Jake and because of this video. It just showed up this morning. OMG! Brilliant piece of work. Through an FRFR, it is perfect. Just for a laugh I ran it through the FX return of an old 90s Fender Ultimate Chorus to see what it sounded like….. it may become my go to rig. It sounded incredible. The clean channel with the pristine chorus of that amp was a thing of beauty. I was considering a JEL 20 but this will probably end the want/need for that amp after I try it through a power amp pedal and a 1x12 cab. I still need to try it through headphones and into an interface to see how it works for practice, late night, and recording situations. Either way I am in love with this little box and it is going to become a mainstay of my setup.

Tim Coltey

I love how easy you make it look to play all that

Todd Staege

Amazing Ben!!! Can I buy this one since it’s pre uncle loved?

Chop

Uncle Ben...WTF!? That intro bit is sensational...tabs.. please.. now!

@Jake: Swear you will carry on until you and RDC finally make it to Germany! Had tickets for Munich, but the tour got called off. Bummer! Been Waiting to see you again since the Bark at the Moon Tour!!! Seriously, man, as underrated as you are, I think you probably don't know what an iconic guy you are for a lot of people. And not just because of your second to none guitar playing, but also for your straight talking, no bullshit attitude. Wish you all the best and a complete recovery. Cheers, Holger from lower Bavaria

I think Jake does not get enough love for how great the transition was from Randy. His work with Ozzy is fantastic. I am not so sure anyone in "The Pantheon" could have done it any better. I am so glad he is ok after a ridiculous and terrifying random act of violence. Ben, it would be a kindness if you provided tab for the clean section from minute 20 to 21... Love the opening track!

Luc GERARD

Hi from France dear Ben. Great "Jake in the Box" song demo ! 😉 Awesome Playing as usual ! Keep safe and Keep it up, U Rock dear Ben ! Best Regards Luc, France

Evan kelsay

Haha. The cure.

American Gwyn

Great stuff, man. Question: does the IR-J have enough preamp tube power to run the Ox Box?

Tim Radle

Unbelievable tones! Great stuff, Ben!

Jake Raymor

GOD DAMN Uncle Ben that track just gave the whole world an erection Whats that chord progression you're playing in Clean at around 20:10? It sounds really familiar but I can't place it

Matthew Moseley

I saw Courtney Cox (Iron Maidens, Burning Witches) demo this on FB, and then you posted this. I’m sold. Bought one this morning. Hope you have a speedy recovery Jake! Glad you are still with us!

Aldo Ferrari

Many prayers for a quick recovery for Jake! Great review of this pedal. Thanks

Dan

Just ordered one, can't wait to hear it using my super sheriff for the power section!

John

Jake survived a literal Shot in the Dark. He is a beast - I pray for his full recovery

Wishing Jake E Lee a speedy recovery!

Mark Luntzel

"Can't Shoot Me Down" (too soon?)

Nicole Frymier

Hopefully you’re dropping those tabs for this song sometime soon ;) or at least a few licks from it? 😊

Shahar Bar

Definitely asking Santa for this somabeech… sounds great, especially w/ the boost!

Devon Ward

My first concert was Ozzy with Jake. 86. What a force. I was heartbroken when I heard . Just walking his fkn dog! Glad he's still with us 🙏

Deep Goswami

Ben I neglected to tell my wife I love her this morning-I won’t make the same mistake with you-love you Ben!!!!!!! Ty!!!

Robert Agaciewski

Sounds amazing. Loved the opening tune.

Neal Pickle

Song title: Nothing But Trouble with Jake. ;-) The 'good trouble' that is.

Ben Eller

Dunno! I would assume it’s the “signature model” tax.

Ben Eller

High praise, I’ll take it!

Justin Shipley

Got a mix between Jake E Lee and John Sykes on that opening track!

Shahar Bar

Any idea why this one is $100 more than the IR-D and IR-X? I thought they were pretty much functionally equivalent. To my ears, it sounds better, how do you feel?
