"In a track, it's going to read as clean". So true and to the point.
Many do not get this! They think clean needs to be CLEAN CLEAN and played isolated. Not how it works successfully!
@@SteveSterlacci So many don't get it & I myself learned the hard way, mix after mix, until my ears said...wait a second, this isn't working.
I just listen to whatever Tim Pierce says and he's always right 🤣🤣🤣
@@SteveSterlacci & so efficient too. Just ask yorself "what would Tim say...?" Even if your tire is flat, or air conditioner isn't working, Tim understands. Love your approach too Steve! Thx
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.
hell yeah, brother, that's exactly true, 2:12 you gave it life and it will read as clean in the track
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!
That could be a killer rig! Gonna have to experiment with it
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!
it definitely makes a great impression when its first plugged 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.
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 🙂
cool! Do you recommend the ir-d if I already have the ir-x? is it very different in sound and feel? ...use the ir-x as a pedal platform😊 thx!
@@rogerYT69 The IR-D has much more gain available than the IR-X, and both channels are identical. However, you can get pretty clean sounds out of it as well. Personally, I struggle to pick a favorite - both are great 🙂
@@Morstad64 thanks man! Maybe I also buy a IR-D at some point because I like the IR-X so much ...time will tell 😉
Works flawlessly with command centre too.
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.
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!
The cab is an IR isn't it? It's not digital simulation
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 😊
You Americans always make a Les Paul into a Marshall sound like a telecaster into a Boogie! ;D
Well, the brits did it first
Friedman makes great gear I own two or their pedals
Liked and subscribed. Thx great content
Cool video dude! IR-D is even better! It's more raw and less polished basically. But both are good!
I would love to try it as well! I was so impressed with this. I hope they do a Matchless !
nice sound
Hey Steve,
Could we get a video of this in use with the HX Stomp? Maybe some of the midi options too. Thx!
If I can keep it longer, YES!
I have it and the ird but the irx is my favorite tho lol like both
Friedman makes some great shtuff
Did you change the knobs on the IR-X? The one I have came with just black knobs on them.
From what I recall some vendors had versions with Marshall style knobs on em.
It's a limited addition reverb only. I think all of these were signed by Dave.
Yep it's the reverb exclusive version
To my ears it’s sounds like a modded JCM 800 or a Silver Jubilee!
It covers A LOT of ground
Playing direct into DAW ? Or what Power you use? Anyway sounds great.
Di box direct to daw
Thanks!
I'm using this in the loop of HX or Helix. It's awesome 👍🏻😎
Steve, what are your thoughts between the Blackstar Amped 3 and the Friedman ir-x? Do you prefer one over the other?
Amped 3 does a lot more. It can power a cabinet and external pedals. Plus it has blackstars cabinet software. Hard to choose. It depends on your needs I think
@@SteveSterlacci Do you feel one sounds better than the other? Feeling and response? Do you think the tubes in the IR-x give it the edge?
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.
yeah its a perfect pedal platform ...love it to bits ...Sound and feel is incredible😊
I just got a Kemper Player and it really sounds great!
@@SteveSterlacci nothing wrong with the Kemper. The original, albeit old, tech, is still the best option to me. I just like the simplicity of the IRX (at 61). An amp without the weight 🙂
I’m surprised you never mentioned you had the treble wound all the way off on channel 1. Why did you find this necessary?
Honestly I did a demo of that amazon strat right before this and the pickups were painfully bright. I didn't even look at the settings because when I plugged in the heritage it sounded perfect 🤷♂️
@@SteveSterlacci Yeah that puts the inherent tone of the pedal and the way that tone stack works in question for me. You wouldn’t usually dial in an amp that way, I’m wondering what it sounds like at 12 o’clock.
I don't like it and I replaced with Friedman IR-D which I really like
not already in Europe?
Not quite yet!
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.
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.
Did you try any other IR’s? I don’t even use the back end. I run it into a real power amp, and love it
I put it in the return of a jcm900 and bam, Awesome.
@rocketsauce5067why not just use the jcm900?
@@swardmusic I do that as well and I have a few tube amp options plus the tonex pedal and amplitude five and positive grid Bias software. Just different flavors.
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.
I didn't mean it that way at all lol I just meant it feels the most right for me. That wasn't to say any other guitar isn't just as great
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.
