When Friedman announced the IR-X I had try it out. Here is my first impressions. I'm pluging straight into the IR-X out into my interface. Only thing I added was a little bit of reverb from the UA Pure Plate Reverb. I hope you enjoyed this video! I just started a Patreon that has in-depth lessons w/ tab covering soloing tricks, licks, techniques, shred, theory and much more!

What do you think of the Friedman IR-X?

@timtaylor164 9 ай бұрын

I just got it. Sounds fantastic and so portable!!! That V30 cab, middle setting, for the win. Bright to left. I’m taking it to Cabo for gigs next week. Easy. Huge win for Friedman.

What speaker do you use with this to play with a drummer? Powered PA speaker?

@@Patriot6669 yes, you can run direct.

It’s a Friedman amp in a smaller box. Heaven! Only wish they were available in my country. Will have to import.

Stellar playing, and one of the better sounding examples of the unit on the KZfaqs.

YOU, Sir, are what us old dinosaurs 🦕 call A MONSTER! Seriously, what I LOVE about your playing (after binge watching your channel) is that you don't sound like two bumble bee's yelling at each other! You have soul and a real vibe even when you're "shredding"! I've been a PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN and a PROFESSIONAL AUDIO ENGINEER in Las Vegas for 40 years and I see a very bright 😎 future for you my friend! Keep the faith and keep fighting the good fight! God bless and take care...

nicely done.. I have been using an FM3 for the last year for when I need direct.. LOTS of time dialing it in. I have one of these on order. Love my Friedman amps, the Dirty Shirley 40 and JJ Junior.

Loved the playing and the dynamic changes! Its a great sounding preamp-I'm sure the next step would be to put this into a modeller and it would be a 1 stop portable gig machine!

I previously had a Victory V4 all valve preamp. Sold it due to my GF's medical emergency costs. Recently been using a Vox Valve Energy "Silk Drive" as an allrounder direct to interface input sweetener for amp sims w/ various analog pedals. This piece of kit looks like exactly what I've been after TBH! Can't wait to get my hands on one! Cheers!

I prefer the middle IR on both channels as well. I believe that's the cabinet that Friedman uses to dial in all his amps so it makes sense.

Middle is pure v30s

I already have BE100, but I'm thinking of getting one of these for headphone use and possibly using it as a second amp with pedals into it's fx loop.

@DanLeggatt 9 ай бұрын

Wonderful feel and phrasing. What pickups do you have in that Les Paul man? Great clarity.

@janluizleonardi9494 9 ай бұрын

Great video. Let me ask you something: If I have a Friedman IR-X and I connect modulation and delay to its Send and Return, will I hear those effects through the IR-X's headphone output?

@CEB7832 9 ай бұрын

@jordan May I ask what pickups / electronics are in your LP? Impressed by the clarity of the cleans you were getting on the neck pickup!

@StratsRUs 9 ай бұрын

In modelers it isn't as hard to get the sound and feel now.Since Helix 3.50 I am having a blast. For alternative small solutions, the Boss GT1000Core is great too. This is just another evolution and it is cool.But most things are now.

@magnuspauli 9 ай бұрын

Great video! Can you tell me which pickups your guitar has? I really liked the switch between neck clean and bridge mean on channel 1 at 3:47 :)

I highly doubt I'm going to get an answer for this but: Is there any reason people only use 3 fingers for pentatonic runs?

@Ottophil 9 ай бұрын

They skipped pinky day

@JefferyJMarshall 9 ай бұрын

😂 I think most players have more bending power with those three fingers. Then you also have the pinky avail to hit an extended note 🤷‍♂️ that’s my reason anyway…

Jordan, are you using this for live now, or the Fractal still?

@JordanSteele 9 ай бұрын

I’m still using the fractal at the moment. I am working on a pedalboard for it so I can use it live but it’s going to be a little while before I can use it live unfortunately.

@phantombusker 8 ай бұрын

Could you not just use the Fractal for the effects and the Friedman as the amp?

@rocknrollkitchen 8 ай бұрын

Let's be honest - You could make just about any amp sound good are we wrong?

@equalleftrights3130 9 ай бұрын

Screw the Friedman, the playing was killer. Through my monitors, I can tell that this will be another modeler. I can hear the damn sterile tone they all have. Sounds more like an Axe Fx than a Kemper.
