Especially when it comes to heavy effectized gitarsound from a huge pedalboard - tube amps dont handle the headroom from multiple delays and reverbs. It sits so freaking nice in a mix, compared to regular miced cabinets (sm57 + something else.). And thats also because im used to that «direct» sound. Story from the studio: i played with two «65 amps» in stereo, but ended up using the iridium instead, because it just sounded so terribly good. I love it, i really really love everything about it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to do some silent practice without sacrificing the quality of your sound. As with other Strymon gear the quality is top notch. I’m looking forward to getting into recording through this unit. You can crank this up to loud is more good levels.

I’m using a decent pair of headphones and the sound is really full and the level control works well.
I haven’t experimented with loading 3rd party IR’s but don’t think it will be necessary. There is enough variety in the 3 amps x 3 cabs to be able to dial in the tone you are looking for.
I purchased the Iridium to plug in a pedal board and listen through headphones. Several days worth of reviews later I chose the Iridium. I have a lot of pedals to connect and wanted something that would take them well. I research theDSM Humbolt and several other units before going with the Strymon. I moved to an apartment and even with a small amp it is not practical to play in the evening at a decent volume. In studio to record with a realistic sound without micing any amp or opening CPU-killersplugins. Live plugged in the return jack of your valve amp (without cab simulation), as it was a preamp Live without amps or as a backup in case your valve amp fails Overdrive pedals sound very good before the Iridium, which behaves like a real amp. I'm not quite satisfied about the room sounds, I would have preferred an actual reverb algorithm, but I can easily solve the problem by putting my ambient fx after the Iridium. Sounds fantastic via studio monitors as well. It gives the amp that valve feeling I've been missing for years. The Marshall amp is very noisy with the gain past 2 'o clock, but I guess a real Marshall is not that quiet.Īnyway, I mostly play jazz through and AER compact amp and the Iridium sounds great before it. Distorted sounds clean up really well with guitar volume knob and are easy to manage with the effective eq controls. Responsive to the touch and faithful to the sound they're emulating. I didn't want to navigate through dozens of menus just to make a decent sound, neither I wanted a big all-in-one pedalboard because I go to gigs and rehearsals by bike or public transportation. I've purchased the Iridium mainly for its pedal format and the ease of use. I've had Kemper head, Hx stomp and Fractal AX8 (my favorite of them all), so I have quite an experience with modelers. I was looking for an amp modeler for my recording and live setup and I've put this Iridium in my cart as soon as Thomann had it available because I trust so much on Strymon products. Note: Battery operation is not supported.
