The Kendrick JoyZee (Climax) is a two-channel Texas blues amplifier from Gerald Weber's Kendrick Amplifiers, combining clean and lead channels in the Texas blues tradition. Kendrick built his amplifiers to evoke the vintage Fender and tweed tones that defined the blues playing of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert Collins. The lead channel delivers the sweet, singing Texas lead tone that Kendrick amps are celebrated for.
