Yes yes yes! I primarily play in church/worship venues and am blown away by how simple yet amazing the Iridium is. I just replaced my amp with it... no more carrying my heavy amp to and from church!
Best Iridium review thus far. Thanks
Sounds amazing great review guys!👏🏽
Never been more excited for a video
Best guitar reviews on TH-cam! Excellent work.
Thank you gentlemen, I love the review. I made the decision to purchase the item based on your review.
Awesome guys... I really found your video informative and cool.... appreciate the work and upload... thanks
Love the video guys, and I love the Iridim, it’s simple point and shoot. I used to be a Tweaker, but all that tweaking just takes away valuable time from playing and playing better. We guitar players can tend to hide behind effects. Look at our guitar heroes, hardly any effects, and no multi effects. Iridium is perfect...for some of us:)
Nice work! The video does a great job of detailing the Iridium strengths and weaknesses. But it also highlights the magic combination of the 76, the Capistan, Big Sky, a good overdrive and the Iridium. Organic, earthly tones right from the git-go.
Bought one in June. Awesome tube amp sounds! Easy as anything to dial in. Works great with all your favorite pedals.
Great video. Really helpful, practical explanation with minimal playing - just enough to get a good idea. Thanks!
I've been waiting fir this video
Great video guys!
Dang. This unit is super impressive and the tactile nature is very appealing!
The el cap sounds so nice too 😍😍
That lush delays 💕💕💕
Yep! 👌
Sounds awesome, B&B. I needz to try one. Love that Room feature, too.
Best part of this video: Bringing back the Hosanna riffs 🤘
Have you tried using 2 Iridiums for a stereo dual amp style set up? I’m Curious how The round and chime would sound together compared to just dual cabs.
Some cabs in the iridium are true stereo!
@@MoviesAndMoreShorts so you’re saying no need to buy 2 iridium?
We've been using Vox AC15s for our guitars at church, we keep them isolated and mic'd up with 57s. Having a real tube amp seems to be a constant battle of changing out tubes and parts that seem to constantly be wearing out due to heat and heavy use (one of them just failed, and that's why I'm "amp" shopping). Also it's a huge pain any time we want to move any of them. It seems like we can never get the settings and mic placement right to where we had it to begin with. That reason alone would be enough to get one of these pedals. Also, an AC15 mic'd with a 57 is kind of a low standard when it comes to having a tube amp and micing it up. The sounds we are trying to emulate are made with higher end boutique amps. To get a sound similar to what this thing puts out it would cost an arm and a leg to have access to these vintage tube amps, their cabs, and the mics/pre's they used to capture them. My conclusion: for all my hassling, I can't make the analogue gear I've got (that has cost me more than this pedal) sound nearly as clean and good. I'm going to be replacing our AC15s with these. This is way more practical/cost effective. I wish this technology had existed a long time ago.
wondering how you made out, and if you were able to make these work in your church setup, and if you're happy with them.
so how have things been so far?
We’ve been going ampless for almost a year now. The iridium is loved by everyone that’s used it. It’s a fantastic option if you can’t have a tube amp and don’t want to get rid of your pedal board.
@@brandonschroeder6831 exactly my thoughts, anyone can walk up with their pedal board and quickly get a great tone. The house will have a very consistent stereo sound to work with without the hassle of isolating amps and wear and tear. Fantastic tool for churches, makes me want to play again in church cause it would be so easy.
Well said. I still have my tube amps but I’m not using them as much for sure. I own and have owned boutique hand wired blah blah blah and they fail from time to time. Fuses go out, tubes do as well...even had an output transformer go out on me once. My suggestion is get something like the iridium if only for back up. You don’t even have to mount it to your board...but it’s there if you need it.
Let the guy explain why he likes the Iridium 😂, you kept cutting him off to express your love for the stomp. I will most most likely buy the Iridium.
Right lol
I’m selling my stomp to get this and this just confirms it.
Good demo.
Coach Beard is killing it on guitar.
Thanks for the video on this. I've been looking for a solution to replace the current worship set up at church (my board to an old Fender Blues Deluxe miked). We all battle the stage volume and I could never push the amp.I've watched every review of this product since its release, and this is the one that really proved this is a multiple amp solution in a pedal format. I never had any intention replacing my pedals with a Helix or like unit ( I am of the same mindset as Bradford). I have on on order and will update. Thanks!
Dale Hobbs you could consider the Mesa Cab Clone. I use one with my tweed blues deluxe. Works fantastic.
That intro was amazing i feel i am someone else in nice place beautiful effects but all in the fingers thankyou
I guess U2's Edge became the archetype for electric guitar in church music into the next century.
Sunday Bloody Sunday ; )
To my hears it sounds more natural than the HX
My main takeaway is that Duelest sounds phenomenal! No but really, great job guys, good sensible overview without the “HX stomp killer” attitude.
Seth Stanley yes it does!! Thanks man! Stomp is amazing. Iridium is amazing. Use what you want tho. Always :)
Wonderful video, you are both excellent guitarists. I bought the Kemper Stage at the end of 2020. I have learned that I hate reading manuals and messing with menus. I am seriously considering selling my Kemper and buying the Iridium. Simplicity is what I want and I too am tactile.
I’m seriously thinking about buying one. I’ve been a HX Stomp user for about nine months now. I feel like it would free up DSP so I could use more effects
The iridium is perfect for who (like me) doesn’t want to dive into softwares. I love Strymon.
ive pulled the trigger on one...in the end it was the simplicity of the iridium over the tweakability of say, an HX stomp. Seems a lot easier to get a good useable sound out of the iridium. I have friends who pull up killer sounds with the STOMP, but the more I read into it it seems you do have to be good at tweaking and fiddling. I'm terrible with tweaking and fiddling. I just get a sound, tape it down and go. Thanks for the video guys! Liked and subscribed.
I've already picked up the Iridium and I absolutely love it! It's replacing my HX Stomp for amp & cab modeling. Like Brad, I like the tactile quality that it has. Just plug in, turn a couple of knobs and you're good to go. As far as feel goes, I don't have them side-by-side to compare but I think I'd give the edge to the Iridium over the Stomp. I really like the way it responds to playing dynamics and different guitars.
Hi Ken. Are you using the Iridium for recording or live? If you are using it live ... are you going direct to the board? Using a direct box? Thanks for your response.
Stephen Lennartz I’m interested to know this as well.
That sounds great! I'm wondering how you got the reverb and delay that wet with that much gain to sound good ahead of the Iridium. I just got mine in yesterday but will have to do some work to get that dialed in. Great demo!
I wondered the same thing
It works best if you dial the Iridium in with a pretty clean “edge of breakup” tone and use drive pedals in front of the wet effects to get dirt.
Gonna be hard not to get this "pedal"....wow. I'll be lugging a 45Lb Fender Deluxe Saturday night, wishing I had one of these in my gig bag instead. Great review guys!
I have the Iridium for a couple of months now. Love it. I use it instead of my brunetti singleman 15. I think it would be useful to add a 'aux in' on MKII to practice at home.
Now that I’ve owned a Helix LT for almost 2 years, I couldn’t imagine switching to a unit without the same EQ capability as the Helix.
And I thought I spent money on equip . These guys are puttin up big bucks .
i think it's greatest strength is that it just sounds good. plain and simple.
It was either this or a Kemper and I went for the Kemper stage for more of an amp like feel. Hopefully I won't be disappointed!
Edit: ...not disappointed in the least. The Stage is king.
how do u like your kemper stage? I want a solution for playing with headphones in living room and on speaker when possible
But how do you know that if you didn't try the Irridium lol this coming from a Kemper guy
@@aguitarhero007 from word of mouth from those I trust. It sounds good, but has the same feeling as any other modeler.
@@joshuabenton3785 that's kinda dissapointing
@@aguitarhero007 what is? their opinion on the matter or me choosing the Stage over the Iridium?
Alright. Here’s a thought:
5 minute tone challenge.
You and Bradford each have 5 minutes with each modeling platform to create the best sound you can from scratch. Kemper, Helix, Axe FX III, Iridium + Pedals.
Then compare the tones!
Oh that would be fun
Worship Tutorials plz make it happen!
Still waiting on this! It would be awesome
Just ordered from Sweetwater. I hope we are successful with implementing it in our system.
Okay, this video sold me. Just seeing the sheer simplicity and ease of use dialing in go to tones, is enough for me for certain sets I play in, not to mention the ability to practice without killing the ears of neighbors.
Have you guys thought about doing a video of the HX effects and the Iridium?
So I just recently bought one to build a back up rig because I was having some issues with my Helix LT. I’ve gotta say that this pedal blew me away. I’ve loved the Helix, but I’m not a tweaker and have found myself spending far too much time trying to tweak even your awesome patches. The simplicity of the Iridium is perfect for me and it takes my analog pedals extremely well including my old Line 6 M9. Only downside is I find myself wanting to buy new pedals again! This just might become my main rig!
Hi Bradford. Just wondering how you get the reverb to sound so lush yet the note strikes to appear to be up front at the same time? (thinking in particular of the opening section) (normally reverb washes the sound out , especially as much as you have on here) .. sounds fantastic. Its almost like you have your own pad like accompaniment?
Likely some pre delay set on the big sky. Makes all the difference.
I am going to pair the iridium with the hx effects when I get one and hopefully be in tonal heaven!!
Any chance you can share your Big Sky settings during the intro? That sounded fantastic!
@worshiptutorials
Do you think you could run the Iridium into a Big Sky and use the XLRs out? Wouldn’t that get close to the same sound as the Helix with the reverbs after the amp?
As per my other comment, it makes more sense to have the reverb last anyway.
You guys should make a video with the atomic ampli-firebox! I would love to have your guys’ opinion on some competitors.
Such great tones. I just purchased the iridium and have been messing with it since. Can't stop playing. Thanks for this review. I was on the fence about which one to get, since HX stomp is only another 200 bucks away. But I'm glad I pulled the trigger on this unit.
YES!
Think I will part ex my Line 6 HX Effects (I also have a L6 Stomp) for an Iridium & a few other bits & bobs for a Specular Tempus, Greer Lightspeed & a quality compressor. I prefer simplicity practice. Might even try out a Boss GT1000 - I know the multi FX units don't have the character & quality of top $ pedals, but might be a useful plan B
Hi,
Just wondering what your papers preset is on the bigsky? Sounds so good.
Indeed. Great sound, love it! Think more people would like to know that ;)
What do you guys prefer with the Iridium for your P&W base tone.....the Round or the Chime? And which cabs and settings?
I think as a full platform, helix/axefx/kemper kills! but for those of us who just LOVES pedals I think iridium is a FANTASTIC way to go. I was quite stunned and amazed at how good the iridium was when I first plugged it in.
Yep - that’s exactly how I see it. They all fit a certain niche and they’re all very good at what they’re intended to do.
Many videos on the Iridium, but this is one and the one by Rhett Shull are the only ones that make me want to buy it!
PanicKJ hey hey! Thank you!
Unfortunately when I add up the cost of the pedals, power supply, cables, I remember why I got the Helix to begin with, it is so much cheaper!
But thankfully I have Worship Tutorial presets for my Helix so it sounds fantastic as well!
Love your videos, and thanks for all of the practical advice. I wanted to know what the best way to go direct with this pedal is since it doesn’t have a DI put onboard. At my church I would need to go straight to the snake on stage.
Thanks! According to the manual, Strymon recommends running this into a DI and then to your board.
@@worshiptutorials Does that mean that I will need a DI before I plug into my Tascam 8 track for recording purposes?
Tone is divine.
Something Like Olivia- nice!
Great video! Can it do both front of house and monitors at the same time? Need the monitors as well.
Hey guys! I'm playing more rhythmy electric in worship. I have a Gretsch Duo Jet and a few pedals with an AC 15. I'm looking to start into amp modeling and effects. Where would you recommend I start?
Peter C. Wilson HX Stomp would be a great start. Or an HX Floor LT.
Sounds amazing!
I haven't jumped into the amp modeling world yet but am looking into. Would like some suggestions. I was looking to both replace my pedal board and amp, looking to simplify. Was thinking of this for my amp and then maybe an HX stomp or Helix something for my pedal board, but it seems like people are using the HX stomp for amp modeling and replacing it with the Iridium. What should I be looking for to compliment the Iridium as an effects board? Or if I am looking to replace both board and amp should I be looking at the Helix floor instead? Thanks for the help!
Consider pairing the Iridium with the Helix HX Effects. A great combination.
Sounds Amazing, but i'm running simply a tele with the Boss Katana 50. Buying a 400.00 pedal as my first one would not be the best way to get the wife to warm up to future purchases HAHA. Great video thanks guys!
Haha I also play a Tele through a katana 100, I also own an HX stomp and other pedals
A bit old but thanks for the great feedback. I bought the Iridium to replace my 40 watt Fender Deluxe. Too much amp for the house and for our small church. Going to give modelling a try once more.
Excuse me sir, an update would be great! Thanks :)
Would love to see the settings on the iridium for those of us using this live.
Any chance you guys would ever demo a Walrus ACS1 and/or do a side-by-side comparison of the Iridium vs ACS1? Thanks and love your videos! God Bless you guys!
I believe I will get one based on your review. I use a Fishman loud box with my Ovation balladeer and this will allow me to use my Fender Stratocaster through the same amp. I am 72 years old and I am my own roadie. I must minimize my gear to get around. This pedal is exactly what I have been looking for. No need to carry a forty pound amp around. Yea Strymon.
Thanks for the great review and demo.
I do see the great benefit of this pedal for recording and of course for live performance if running thru the house PA. Now I guess this is a pretty silly comment / question however if the Irridium is on my pedal board it is going to get run thru my Marshall amp and speaker cabs. The Vox & Fender tones as well as the cab sims are going to take on the flavor of my amp and cabs right.? So would you say that running the Irridium as you would any pedal on your board thru your amp, be it Fender/Marshall/Mesa or whichever, completely defeats the purpose of the Strymon Irridium pedal i.e. it's not made for that ?
BanditPanda it’s supposed to take the place of an amp. It becomes your amp. So yes, it would defeat the purpose.
@@bmitchellmusic ok thanks for the reply. Yes however it has to get it's power from somewhere. I imagine if for power purposes the only way it would work would be if you had a clean power amp / an SS amp or FRFR speaker/cab set up such as the Headrush Full-Range Flat-Response Powered Guitar Cabinet .
Do you always run your wet FX before the amp? I noticed your signal chains were set up that way? Have you set it up and tried it running compressor and dirt pedals pre Iridium and delays, mods and reverbs after?
jepp. This setup is not the best signal chain they are using. (sure - it sounds in a way...) Technically, the iridium had a hard time, to figure out, what the "guitar" signal is it has to process... the reverb after the "preamp" would open the sound drastically
having an effects loop would solve that.
The Iridium is great for people who have a ton of pedals they don't want to get rid of, and don't have the time/patience/understanding to dial in a HX Stomp.
Was this clipping on your interface? Either that or the unit has a weird "crackling noise" on some sustained notes. 03:11 is a good example of what I'm talking about
Definitely their setup
There needs to be less level hitting the interface and or a limiter on the post processing. And the talking needs to be louder.
That’s called “dirty worship verb” 😂
I have the Line 6 HXFX which I’m finally starting to feel comfortable using live. I just bought the Iridium to use the amp and cab simulation when I don’t want to use my Badcat Hotcat 30. I’d like your opinion on how best to pair the HXFX with the Iridium? All I see are videos with the Stomp pedal.
Looks like a great unit for an amp guy. Does it have any midi control.? Really good option to replace my aging 11Rack
Great demo! I have an HX Stomp (and Helix) but would love to try the Iridium. I lean on the Helix most of the time, but trying to bring together a board with the Stomp and the Strymon trinity. A big consideration for me is that although I mostly play electric in church, I also bring in mandolin or acoustic guitar occasionally. Helix can do that. I haven't heard anyone talk about acoustic instruments through the Iridium. Doesn't seem to be a match in that sense. Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Ron Singley true. You could just bypass the Iridium tho depending on your setup
@@bmitchellmusic Thanks Bradford! Good idea! I'll keep that in mind.
Instead of bypassing the whole Iridium, you can probably have a preset that just bypasses just the amp and has one of the “cabs” loaded with an acoustic/mandolin/whatever IR like the Fishman Aura does.
I want one!! I’m a simple guy when it comes to amps as well! I wonder what it would sound like in direct comparison to the actual amps?
Great video and I'm a huge Irridium fan....but...you're looking at $1,000 of Strymon pedals here plus almost $700 for The Cali + Duellist. And that really does put you in the Kemper range. And that's OK tone wise but there are limits to this board in terms of presets.
Hey guys I'm planning to get this pedal.. How do you get the stereo sound out of the reverb and delays to the iridium?
How are you running into the Iridium with your stereo outs on the big sky and El Cap?
Homes For Sale 30A you need a TRS cable into the Iridium.
Do you recomend some FRFR speaker?
My Iridium has not 'aux in' for mp3 or CD.
Sweet Heavenly Jangle on the AC30 settings ... wow
oh yeah. most def.
Bradford Mitchell ordered from Sweetwater... it’s in transit 👍🏼
Finally replaced my old Pod HD with this!
Iridium and HX FX combined would be awesome.
I have a question for both pedals (HX Stomp and Iridium). Can I have different amps and IRs in stereo settings? for example, Fender style at the left and Vox styl at the right? I mean, both of the pedals can do that or not?
Iridium can do it via IR manager software. You can load different IR for each of the channel. Don't know about stomp
I have a Strymon Iridium and have a quick question. I'm trying to connect from Boss RV-5 Reverb stereo output into Strymon Iridium stereo input. The problem is there's only one input spot for Iridium. I know there's a stereo switch knob on the top, but how can you plug the two stereo output into one stereo input spot? Thank you!
You have to use an insert cable. 2 mono 1/4 to TRS 1/4
Sounds good
Total Fender/Dumble tube amp slappy and not a huge Strymon fan... just tried the Iridium... WOW!!!
NEVER thought I would say this but Iridium sounds amazing and will probably replace my tube amps. Tried a Kemper & Helix and too much fiddling and didn’t sound as good as Iridium. Best part is- I can play through headphones, still get my Deluxe reverb tones and not disturb the wife at night. The room dial really sounds like an amp in the room... doesn’t feel disconnected as I had feared.
DANG! Well that's awesome to hear!
Beautiful!! What does it sound like bare without the cali76 in the chain ?
Normand Jones good! But lots of other videos here on YT showed that so we did things differently. I really never turn the Cali off tho when I play.
@@bmitchellmusic The best demo though. The compressor helps big time. Thanks
Please do a comparison video the Iridium and the stomp!
I bought the Iridium and a Harbinger monitor from Guitar Center to use live at church. Is is possible to get that clear of a sound from a monitor?
Is the Iridium connected directly ti the interface? Great tone!
yes! thanks!
So if you wanted to run stereo effects would they have to go after the Iridium? Would you have to have DI boxes at the end of the chain?
The Iridium has both stereo inputs and outputs, so you can put stereo effects in front of and/or behind hit. For the stereo input, you need a special cable (TRS). Strymon recommends running it into a DI box, so to keep the signal stereo, you'd need either two mono DI boxes or one stereo DI box. The Iridium manual goes into detail about it all 👍🏻
Worship Tutorials That’s awesome. I really like the idea of being able to run effects in stereo in front of the amp.
I’ve been going back and forth on this pedal. I currently use 2 amp simulators and a Digitech CabDryVR cabinet sim. This would put everything in one pedal and would simplify my setup, and with less connections, less chance of something getting disconnected. Plus the iridium sounds great!
@Brian Wahl - since you have a Jennings Voyager Guitar now, does this mean you are selling the orange sparkle Gretsch to me?
I play small clubs where only vocals are going thru the PA. So I am building box to fit the Strymon. A Unity 200 watt Class C half rack size amplifier. A ROLLS MP13 preamp. Studio clean products but affordable.It will go thru a Celestion NEO Creamback in a small open back cab. I will have a Wampler EQuator EQ at the front of the chain to flatten the celestions sound if need (as I am not using the flat response of a Studio monitor) it will all be in what looks like a head sitting on my celestion cabinet. Not on my board and easy access just like a conventional amp head. I even have plan to have the face of the Strymon facing forward. I plan it all to look like a real amp head! The whole rig will be about $900.00 USD complete.
How you guys are sending signal from bigsky to iridium? Since it have only one input. I’m planning to purchasing but I have this concern
There's only 1 input jack but its a stereo inout. You'll need a stereo cable.
@@noahfickel thanks bro
Do you think Iridium with hx effects before would be a good pair?
How loud is the headphone output? Thinking about getting this for practicing silently at home so I don’t disturb the neighbors. I tried the neunaber iconoclast and the headphone output was way too weak.
This is something I'm curious about, too. I have a pair of 80 ohm Beyerdynamic headphones that I pretty much use all the time. But they need a little more power than standard headphones to sound clear.
Sennheiser hd650, have to turn down so I don’t blow my ears out. It’s loud.
Selling my TwoNotes Torpedo Live to buy this thing. I really only needed the TwoNotes for a "silent stage" but My AC30 takes up so much stage real estate that I need it somewhere else off stage. But if its off stage I can't adjust the levels/gain/EQ on the amp. Plus moving this thing around is cumbersome.
This does exactly what I need without having to pull up a menu or having everything preset. Presets don't work in a constantly changing environment. I need to be able to adjust settings quickly, most of the time live on the spot. Besides the price tag, this is whats kept me away from the Kempers/AxeFX/HXStomps. Plus I don't need or want everything that is offered in Kempers/AxeFX so why pay for what I'll never use?
Wow this was a shorter paragraph in my head
Hey! What're y'all's thoughts on not having an FX loop on the iridium as opposed to the HX stomp? I'm in the exact position yall we're describing but that was what I was really wondering about 😂
It would replace my cabzeus
You can run effects right after the Iridium if you want. OR turn off cabs in the Iridium, run into effects, and then run into the Cabzeus for cabs 🤷🏻♂️
Can you share where the stereo chain begins and how it’s being ran? I see some pedals that are only mono. Thank you.
stephenmestrada El Cap and BigSky are stereo into the Iridium!
Could you use two of these for a stereo rig? One as a Deluxe, another as a Vox, just panned LR? Do you have to set them to mono?
Yeah if you used two for a stereo setup, you'd want to set both of them to mono. Personally we feel like stereo amps (meaning two different amps in stereo) is a bit overrated - the real stereo magic comes from stereo wet effects. But if you wanted two different amp models, that's how you'd do it with the Iridium.
@@worshiptutorials Thanks for the reply :)
Was the pedalboard out to the interface then Logic?
I'm getting one of these. I'm going to sell my Headrush Gigboard most likely.... (which I do like... bought it for the simplicity over the HX Stomp and others) This is way more like setting up a great sounding amp... just a few knobs.... no endless and stupid (for me) tweaking and scrolling...
