IR-X isn't simulating a Friedman tube preamp. It is one. While many available preamp pedals utilize tubes to 'warm up' their digital or solid-state circuit, two glowing hot 12AX7 preamp tubes, running at the proper high voltage, are this pedal's beating heart. A genuine preamp in every way, IR-X delivers all the tone, response, gain characteristics, and harmonic complexity you expect from a Friedman design.
IR-X boasts two fully independent foot-switchable channels. Like the famed Friedman flagship amps, channel one takes your tone from bluesy, British-voiced cleans to a muscular Plexi-style roar. Engage channel two for the Friedman signature higher-gain voice and all the percussive punch, note clarity and singing sustain that comes with it.
Both channels feature their own independent and highly tweakable Boost circuits. This essentially gives you four channels, accessible with the tap of your toe.
All great tube amps need a great speaker cabinet, and whether sending your signal straight to the board or silently playing through the onboard headphone output, IR-X gives you a selection of Dave Friedmanâs favorite IRs. Select the IR per channel using the 3-way mini toggle switches or load your own quickly and easily via IR-Xâs editing software. You can even disengage the onboard IRs entirely to use IR-Xâs tube preamp with another IR loader.
IR-X gives you astounding tonal control, but its included Friedman IR-X Editor software takes it to a new level. With it, you can tweak each channelâs power amp simulation via the thump and presence controls, load your favorite IRs, activate the Boost Lock feature, select loop ON/OFF and save it all to 128 MIDI presets.
The IR-X software includes 12 free Friedman IRs to choose from. The first three listed below are the ones which are factory set to the hardware.
Dave Friedmanâs favorite 4Ă12 cab in bare wood. This is Daveâs primary workshop cab and has been used to voice his amplifiers since the very beginning. Itâs fitted with four 6402 Greenback speakers and was captured with an SM57 and R-121 for a nice balance of cut and body.
Stock Friedman 4Ă12 closed-back cabinet, loaded with four CelestionÂź Vintage 30 speakers. Captured with a single SM57 and API preamp for a pure, punchy sound.
A rare UK model 4Ă12 cab from the 80âs rock era. This 1980B âBassâ cabinet is loaded with British Greenback in the top and V30âs in the bottom. This blend of speakers and careful micing creates a huge tone with a massive sound with big bottom and cutting top end.
IR-X is MIDI-capable. Whether pulling up presets with a pedalboard controller or switching channels with the laptop running your entire show, IR-X is ready for the job. It truly is the perfect marriage of modern control and classic tube tone.
The IR-Xâs transparent effects loop allows you to easily integrate your favorite effects with everything from the most straightforward setups to the most complex digitally controlled rigs.
