I saw Anderton's raving review of the DSM DLX and considered buying that but then saw the IR-X. Now I feel I should hold off until all the dust has settled. I love the boost feature on this amp but like the built-in reverb and the ability to combine both channels on the DSM. I'm retired but still own 7 amps so I don't really "need" either of these but I like the idea of a analog/tube pre-amp on my pedal board. I would really, really appreciate some inputs!

Hey my friend, I did not have a fire, but unfortunately, my wife passed away and due to my expenses I had to give up my house and sell off a lot of gear. This actually gave me the alternative of selling off several amplifiers that I had a fortune tied up, and my wife always complained about those amplifiers. There’s only two things in life I love our loved was her And my guitars and apps I guess that’s three really but this has given me a way to hang onto the hundred watt amplifiers I did have, and at least keep rock in a little bit so I do get it man because her unexpected death cost so much that And lost income due to her not being here and working anymore you know, given up the house and everything it’s just like getting restarted as a musician Was working full-time as a guitarist but I also had to get a real job lol my wife was really supportive of my music since our kids are grown now and college was paid for 49 years old. It’s really screwed up man you think everything‘s worked out we were smooth out the kids are grown. Just doesn’t make sense things sometimes. Peace man. Good luck on getting your equipment rebuilt I just bought a deputy victory amplifier also and Man with this plugged into it. I should be good to go sold my Friedman amps had a collection of them and my marshals vintage ones too but with the victory and Friedman stuff it is easily replaced. I can see only doing small gigs now anyway too busy being depressed and wallowing and apathy.

Excellent demo guys! Only one problem, at the end when you hooked it up to the FX return of the amp, I believe you HAVE to use the FX send of the IR-X otherwise you're feeding the power amp emulation to the other tube amp (power amp on top of power amp), that's why the EQ is a little wonky when you did that.

Absolutely beautiful! Nails the Friedman amp sound. I preferred the direct out sound to the miced amp sound too for once. This puts me in mind of the Iridium, but sounds much much better and has a real boost option along with some better I/O features. Be nice if the cleans were a little less compressed, but one doesn't get this preamp pedal for it's Fendery cleans and high clean headroom. If one wants that then the Fender Tonemaster Pro is going to be the answer. Eagerly awaiting that video!

Totally agree with the Dave's ethos here. Just give us a simple unit with knobs to turn. I had a helix LT for years, I would spends hours endlessly tweaking eq and high cuts and low cuts. Sold the LT and now use UA dream 65 and Ruby 63, it's so much more fun and easy having single units that model just a great amp, here's your 6 IRs, turn thr knobs and what you see is what you get.

@johnstewart7619 8 ай бұрын

So I read about 30 posts and no one mentioned it, so here goes: You could always swap pre-amp tubes. Channel 1 to get a little more clean out of it with a different tube (12AT7 maybe?). I am not sure what tube brand (or country they’re from), BUT if you like to roll tubes, and depending on how hard it is to access them, that could always be a possibility too for different tones? 🤷‍♂️😉

What is nice about this is that it can be connected in several different ways making it absolutely versatile. Heck if you really wanted to I suppose you could run it into the instrument input jack and use it like a tube overdrive pedal. What impresses me most is what you are getting for the price. Sweetwater here in the US has these for 499 USD, given what some modeler pedals run for the Friedman is a steal really.

Two things that impress me about this is that the "into amp" recording to my ears didn't sound any better than the direct recording. Also the price. I assumed this would be much more expensive, but it's not a hell of a lot more than a UA Dream 65, which makes it a competitor against boxes like that. I might actually consider this as a direct recording solution.

I would much rather have an actual tube sound for this like my old Marshall reissue had, but with the same convenience. Since this and the Helix both have loops, I should be able to run echoplex-like effects in front of the IR-X (Van Halen 1) and then run other effects in the loop as I see fit.

Really nice one from Friedman! The only downside I see to these I/O features, however, is that if you opt to go into the power section of an amplifier/cab for that on-stage cab monitoring sound AND ALSO send the balanced out to the FOH desk, you can then basically have your time-based FX-Loop effects through the real amp/cab section of your sound only, since you'd have to send your signal from the FX-Send of the IR-X. The cab then has to be miced up and send to the desk anyways for your reverbs, delays, etc. to be part of your sound in the FOH, which to me kind of makes the balanced out option with its built in IRs a bit redundant - quite unfortunate... Two outputs on the unit (one balanced with the IRs and one unbalanced to go to an amp power section), leaving the FX-Loop of the unit alone like some Two Notes products do it (the Le-Preamp series comes to mind), would have been a more elegant solution in my honest opinion and would have totally sealed the deal! Maybe I am missing something, @FriedmanAmplification ? Or maybe that slight inconvenience only applies to players who have some very specific time-base-FX and want to co cab monitoring AND FOH at the same time, which may not be that many, so I understand... A small ON/OFF switch for the IRs on the unit itself would have also been a nice touch, but that's probably a limitation of size, cost, components, etc. Nice preamp overall though.

@chuddleywindston This. There is reverb built into my RME Babyface and although it has pretty good sound and it works really well as far as processing goes I never use it because it's just not the Reverb I'm generally looking for and there are so many other options with my pedals and plugins that I don't need it.

Cool new gear is coming soooo fast, I can't remotely keep up. Choosing what to buy is becoming impossible.

Did you engage cabinet emulation when going into the return of a combo (with - again - a guitar speaker)? That's not something I would do... Or did I miss something?

@andertons 9 ай бұрын

No - we switched cab emulation off for that part. Pretty sure I mention that & you can see it on the app

Is this better going into a FRFR like the new Fender Tonemaster FRFR or the power amp in of a Katana?

@tobiasrangne8899 8 ай бұрын

Both works, just be sure to turn the cab-sim (IR's) off if going into the effect return of any 'real' amp, an on if going FRFR. (Sending a cab-simulated signal into a cab usually sounds very strange...😉)

This sounds great! But I'm a bit confused, Dave said at 4:55 that there's about a dozen IR's in this but there only appears to be 3 in the software?

@rgarcia4412 9 ай бұрын

When running the software you have up to 12 to choose from, 3 per channel

@sjftech 9 ай бұрын

@@rgarcia4412 Ah, okay. Just looked like it was limited to 3 from what Andertons showed.

You have 3 IRs per channel to be chosen from the unit itself by using the toggle... But up to 12 IRs when using the software.

@@sjftechthose are the three IR’s loaded onto the switch, I believe one of the little symbols next to the IR name opens the folder with the rest of the IR’s so you can load them instead

Can you tell me how this compares to the Fender Tone Master Pro? Does this sound and feel more like a real tube amp? Is the difference between the two significant?

@politoleo 8 ай бұрын

IR-X is the tube preamp just like the one present in the head version, so it's going to sound and feel just like one when used with IR

Literally just run it into any audio interface's balanced input and you're good - just make sure to monitor it. The USB isn't for sending audio I don't think, just changing and loading IRs.

Great video!!! I'm a noob on things like this so i have to ask, isn't this preamp just like what Victory did with their V4 amps? Also, this makes me want to sell my BE-OD pedal and get this instead 😅

@leissMusic 9 ай бұрын

Pretty much just like the unpowered V4 pedals, except with IRs attached! Only problem is you're not going to drive any cabs with this, you would need to have a seymour duncan powerstage to do it (or to use another amp's power amp section to do it).
