Jake E. Lee

For a Jake E. Lee sound, we recommend the Modern channel of the AMP1 Mercury Edition. You will get the best results with a Super-Strat guitar, but you can also achieve at least a similar sound with other guitars. Depending on your guitar and pickup type, you may have to make some compromises:

The amp is only one part of the overall sound. The speaker you use has just as big an impact on the sound. That is why the settings shown above may need to be adjusted depending on the speaker you use.
