"In a track, it's going to read as clean". So true and to the point.

I have both the IRD and IRX in a rack drawer in the effects loop of my Helix Rack, as well as using the Placater amp for other patches.

Thanks Steve; good one. Still all in with my Helix Floor / JTV-69s combo. Our son though remains fully old school. Love the Friedman IR-X as an option for him--amazing product from world-class engineers. Thanks again; cheers from PDX, OR!

That's pretty impressive! So is that fancy guitar! 🤘

Great video Steve. I run the IRX into my Stomp XL loop and loving it. Best of both worlds, tube pre-amp, and digital IR's with awesome Stomp FX. Awesome Plexi tones w/boost and the BE channel is FIRE!

Works flawlessly with command centre too.

That is really nice! Thanks.

My one piece of gear I loved the minute I plugged in. And love mir and more each time I use it. Heard a board tape for the first time from a gig I played and was simply blown away!

I love this and also the IR-D. I've owned both for a couple months, and I'm now in the process of replacing my two Helix floors with these two and HX effects. It just clicked immediately when I plugged these in 🙂

This is my favorite guitar sounds I've ever gotten, personally. The cleans are my preferred combination of dirty and articulate. The dirt channel is perfect for my ideal rhythm tone and with a Boss SD-1 out front it's just a dream come e true. I build a while pedalboard around it and have it running through a KSR PA50 into 2 2x12s.

hell yeah, brother, that's exactly true, 2:12 you gave it life and it will read as clean in the track

It’s the only amp in a box to buy….the best. I don’t use the cab sim because I hate digital, and this unit has all the circuits and the tubes to give you that feel…crank it!

I own the IR-D. It’s fantastic

Long time follower of yours Steve. I have an IR-x and the sound and feel is better than any other direct options out there. I just bought a Tonex one and run it stereo with the Friedman via HX stomp loops for church. The IR-X killer by itself, but I do love coupling it with a fender circuit on the tonex. You also need to try the JTM flavorored IR-D. Both Friedman units are amazing. This and an h90 or hx stomp and maybe one analog drive pedal is all you would ever need. Hoping Friedman brings out more Fender and Vox flavored offerings in this format.

cool ...I love my IR-X to bits😊 also have some uafx amp pedals (lion, ruby, etc) but the friedman feels best for me and its also a perfect pedal platform 😊

Cool video dude! IR-D is even better! It's more raw and less polished basically. But both are good!

Friedman makes great gear I own two or their pedals

nice sound

Liked and subscribed. Thx great content

You Americans always make a Les Paul into a Marshall sound like a telecaster into a Boogie! ;D

Hey Steve, Could we get a video of this in use with the HX Stomp? Maybe some of the midi options too. Thx!

I have it and the ird but the irx is my favorite tho lol like both

Friedman makes some great shtuff

I’ve been using a Kemper for ten years. Tried a HX Stomp along the way and sold it. If only the Friedman was available in my country. It will cost me double the price to import. It seems to be the perfect pedalboard amp.

To my ears it’s sounds like a modded JCM 800 or a Silver Jubilee!

Did you change the knobs on the IR-X? The one I have came with just black knobs on them.

I'm using this in the loop of HX or Helix. It's awesome 👍🏻😎

Playing direct into DAW ? Or what Power you use? Anyway sounds great.

I’m surprised you never mentioned you had the treble wound all the way off on channel 1. Why did you find this necessary?

Steve, what are your thoughts between the Blackstar Amped 3 and the Friedman ir-x? Do you prefer one over the other?

I don't like it and I replaced with Friedman IR-D which I really like

Valve/tube preamps are great. For a slightly cheaper treat - try a Mesa V-Twin pedal. It does a warm clean, blues (crunchy) and lead. Has amp / poweramp/mixer and headphone outputs. Takes pedals like a champ.

not already in Europe?

I challenge your assertion that “only a LP type guitar” will sound right with a Marshall/Friedman type amp tone. A Strat into a Marshall is one of the greatest sounds in Rock and Roll. Hendrix, SRV & EJ would all agree with me.

Had one when they first came out. Sent it right back. The "digital back end" sounded harsh and fake to me. I was disappointed because I love Friedman products. Just my opinion.

I returned the IR-X. It's too modern sounding. I might try the IR-D which may be more like my real Dirty Shirley.

IR-D is better.
