@@SuperdangerStudios thanks for this. Since i saw your video about York audio ir I really liked them but i also like the originals.. Then... Thanks to @Musecrafter because the use of an external ir loader was my first question after watching this video....!
This is awesome. I’m literally staring at my board all torn down to setup the second scenario you showed. My revival drive hot rod custom comes today! Perfect travel rig for tonal smorgasbord 😂
@@SuperdangerStudios thanks for the response on my board build! Couple of things I’ve learned in a few nights playing. 1. Get the foot switch for the Revival Drive. Get the big one but doesn’t have to be the custom if just using as preamp. The hot rod doesn’t do clean well. 2. The presence knob on the iridium has a huge impact on tone as well even in amp bypass. You can program a favorite setting with light presence and then leave the fav off with 100% presence. Honestly the tones I’m getting and being 100% mobile and headphone capable makes this setup amazing!! Thanks for everything! 🎸🤟🏻
Wow Dude! You are slowly becoming one of my favorite guitar-guru youtuber, haha. Ever since I bought my Strymon Iridium, my whole pedalboard revolved around it and this was one of my concerns regarding time-based effects. I use the Iridium as: headphone amp, buffer at the end of the signal chain, pre-amp. Here's a question for you: is it better to use the Iridium with the IR's ON when going into an FX-Loop Return (Marshall DSL1/Katana 50 Power amp in) or disable the IR's? Cheers mate and keep up the good work
Stoked you are enjoying the channel! If you are going through another speaker it’s better to turn the IR off bc your amps real speaker will be expecting a raw signal. With the IR on you are EQing the signal so it would be getting double EQ which will compress it in an unnatural way. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Sorry if this is kind of a newbie question, but I don’t know too much about IRs and amp modeling, but have been loving your videos about the Iridium. When you are demoing all of these different IRs, especially in this video, what is the Iridium actually doing? In other videos are you loading your IRs in a DAW like this video and turning the IRs off on the Iridium, or are you loading them straight into the Iridium?
Not a newbie question at all. Very sorry for the delay in response. The Iridium is acting as a digital preamp, tone stack, and poweramp. Most of the time I am loading the IRs in my DAW. The way I think about it is that the Iridium is an amp head, while the DAW is my mic and speaker for that amp head. Does that help?
@@SuperdangerStudios Yes that is super helpful! I mostly do live stuff so would there be a way of realistically doing something similar? What do you usually do in a live setting?
@@nichmlee live I just use the IRs in the iridium and throw all the time based stuff after it. Not my preferred but it gets the job done. I’ve been thinking about getting a tc helicon IR loader pedal. Only like $75 and they can hold up to 128 IRs in it.
@@SuperdangerStudios i used it with my boss sy1000 since that darn thing lack any capabilities to add ir unlike the gt1000. The iridium sounded good on its own but i kinda only play tweed sound recently with my band.
Can’t we run the delays and reverbs after the iridium and into an interface? Then you get the post amp sim modulations and the option of using the headphones off the interface which you couldn’t do using just the pedals and strymon alone in that setup. I’ve come to learn how annoying it is to run delays and reverbs into a driven amp sound lately and I want to avoid that mess if I can lol. It’s way less an issue with the clean tones
I'm not sure what's the purpose of this. The order between cab sim IR and linear effects such as reverbs doesn't affect the output. IRs don't introduce non-linearities.
This video was to answer a ton of questions I was getting for putting a spring reverb before an IR. The IR does provide an eq curve though so it will affect the tone of the wet effects. Hope this answers your question.
@@SuperdangerStudios I was simply curious why someone would want to do this. And no, putting an IR (or EQ) after spring reverb isn't going to produce a different sound than before. I know this may be counterintuitive, but these two scenarios are mathematically identical.
I use the Iridium is my amp modeler and put a TC Electronic Impulse IR pedal ($100) at the end of my signal chain. Works perfectly.
Awesome I should pick up one of those!

super clean and concise explanation. great help to me. thanks for the content!
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped!
Great video! Love this kind of content!
Glad you enjoy it! More to come!

So rad to Hear! Let me know how it turns out!
@@SuperdangerStudios alright videos are up! Pedalboard all back together!! Thanks for the videos really helped push me to make an overhaul

Dig it 🤙
Thanks dude!
a bit off topic ... but would love to see/hear you do a deep dive on the origin effects magma 57 and the Iridium. Any chance?
Absolutely! I love the Magma but it’s a very specific pedal and takes a bit of getting used to. At least it did for me. It’s on the list!

I kinda used iridium now as just an irloader now.
Haha it's a great feature! What do you use as your preamp sound?

Hi! You alread used the Strymon in the four cable method? Any kind a noise or hum ? Thanks from Brasil!
No noise or hum unless really high gain and using single coil. As long as the power supply is clean then its a really quiet unit! Cheers!
