Flex iDriv e™ 'To uch Sensitiv e' Disto rtio n
Ask any guitar player, they'll say that solid state
amps and overdrive pedals suddenly change from
clean to distortion. This is not to do with the fact
that they're solid state, but due to primitive design.
In CLASSIC setting, Flexidrive mimics how a valve
amp works and eliminates sudden changes
between clean and overdrive, stretching out the
transition for a touch sensitive style that's ideal for
blues, new country and 'grungy' playing.
Heavy rock through to to mega distortion, metal
thrash sounds are easily achieved by selecting the
HEAVY setting. You'll find a myriad of tones
inside the JD20 you thought only possible from very
expensive 'boutique' amps.
I took up playing guitar at the age of thirteen back in 1960. Commercial amplifiers were too
expensive, so, I built a guitar amp using transformers from a wrecked Selmer valve amp. The
pre-amp was based on the Fender Bassman... but I found it to be quite limited in tone range.
By this time I had caught the bug... that eternal quest for the perfect sound. What was a
hobby eventually turned into my work in 1979! Hell, what have I done!
You know, all that hype about valves vs transistors just makes me laugh. Especially when one
famous company makes valve amplifiers which use solid state circuitry to create the
distortion. And what about comments like '...hot bottle powered tone' in reviews of those

very same amps? I'd be screaming mad had I bought one on the basis that 'only valves are good enough'.
But then, how would you know what's inside amps these days? It seems that guitarists are getting a raw
deal? At least with Award-Session products, what's inside is made very clear... 100% solid state!
Before I close, there is just one thing I want to say to those valve lovers out there. It's not merely technology
that makes great sounds... it's the designers knowledge and how he applies it! Every amp ever made, good
or bad, was designed by a person. Should it not then, be the designers who
receive any credit for the quality of tone? Have fun.

G12T™ Speaker Simulatio n
First incorporated in Jerry Donahue's
(HELLECASTERS member) JD10 recording pre-
amp/pedal, G12T has become a standard relied
upon by many studios and session guitarists as a
very quick way of obtaining great guitar recordings
direct to tape.
Just plug the JD20's output into a four-track and
record at home or DI your live sound straight into a
PA system without the drawbacks and cost of using
mics. You'll never know the difference!
