I have frantically looked through many of the Iridium pedal videos for help understanding and working this pedal. This is the one that saved the day for me. Thank you for simplifying it.
Getting ready to do the same, Dave. Really tired of moving my Marshall to/from gigs. My cover band has scaled down significantly with the 'gear haul'. Our impression is that 98% of those we play for dont really care HOW we get our sound ... they simply want to be entertained. Not surprisingly... it's usually fellow-musicians in the crowd that have something to say about it. How are you liking your Iridium?
I bought a POD Go last year, and it sounds great, but I really hate the endless tweaking options just to get the only two or three sounds you will actually ever use. The Iridium seems so simple by comparison to get great sounds.
Hi, i'm saving this video, very useful! Let me ask you something.. Is there any way (using IRs or something) to flip the phase of the input or outputs of the Iridium?? I'm planning on using this pedal in a WDW setup.
@@FeritNecib This pedal is your amplifier. 3 amplifiers, Marshall, Fender and Vox. You just need a speaker (PA speaker, Cabinet, frfr) and then you're good to go. I recommend Headrush speaker, small light, easy to carry around.
Great pedal. I only wish there was a way to disable the room(and still use the cab section). Even with the room knob at zero the room still sounds. I understand that a mic'd cab is going to record the room, but it'd have been cool to completely shut the room off anyway.
No you can’t sorry, they’re two seperate algorithms that aren’t blended in anyway due to the topology. Expression only works on parameters within an algorithm.
So if you want to use delays or reverbs and Iridium grind and still go direct to FOH, you just connect the Iridium output to your pedal, and then the output of the pedal to FOH (or more likely a DI box)?
@@noisetoysimportstv1248 Oh man... and the fact that it looks like every parameter can be controlled by MIDI... I can work this in to my HX Effects and get all different kinds of options. Thank you for replying! Great videos!
If the cab is bypassed, would that mean this pedal could technically be used as a preamp/drive pedal? Would be nice if it could still serve a purpose on my board when using a real amp
On the output trim are you sure it is -20? the manual says -10 on one page -20 on another and a sweep from -20 to -10 on a third page. I was using their PDF manual.
@@noisetoysimportstv1248 Thanks for your fast reply. Oh, then whether I use my pedalboard or not, it's for just instrument level? Not an line level? Thanks:)
Your pedalboard isn’t a sound source, only what’s plugged into it, so your if you’re plugging a keyboard into your pedalboard it’s line level, guitar is instrument.
So, this or a UA Apollo Solo (just released, similar price point, comes with plug-ins/amp simulation) or Twin X? Maybe this better-and enough-for guitarists such as myself? Setting up a home studio, trying to figure it out.

I absolutely love this pedal. just sold all my amps because im traveling. this lets me keep recording and it sounds amazing.

Thanks very much for this. Sounds great too. Were you using stock IR Cabs in this video?
A very well done demo, Thank You! A very intuitive walk through of basically every function in the unit. Helpful indeed!
Very useful for a quick understanding of Strymons typical secondary functions . . Good job 👌🏻
Thanks!

3:20 GORGEOUS SOUNDS !!!
Bruh those power up modes expand the tonal options even more, I want this pedal so bad.
Im gonna buy it
@@tigerstripe3820is it for using your own tube amp? what is it for

Excellent video, well demonstrated.
Sounds fantastic
Great demo of it
Thanks mate, hope you’re well.
Very helpful! Great tones. Thank you.
Getting one for sure.
Do it! Best decision.
Wow great demo! Is that the stock IRs?
Thanks

Excellent vid! Thanks!
Thanks for the upload! Looking forward to the wxpression tutorial. Btw, is it possible to morph between fender and the marshall setting?
No you can’t sorry, they’re two seperate algorithms that aren’t blended in anyway due to the topology. Expression only works on parameters within an algorithm.
@@noisetoysimportstv1248 Thank you!
I didn't know about any of this. I should read the manual from now on.
Very informative, thank you!
Makes me wonder how many units are sent in with comments like: MY BRAND NEW IRIDIUM IS BROKEN!!!
Awesome thanks!
Just to get it straight, can I use this to go into a cab and at the same time into a PA system?
Ie instead of a guitar head
One or the other, you would need to disable the CAB section to run into a live cab, and you would need the CAB section active to run into a PA
Excellent work
I was wonderin what’s the differences between instrument and line input?
So if you want to use delays or reverbs and Iridium grind and still go direct to FOH, you just connect the Iridium output to your pedal, and then the output of the pedal to FOH (or more likely a DI box)?
Yes the signal is benefiting from the Iridiums output so you can just go straight to PA/Interface however you like, no DI needed.

I love my iridium back to basics twiddling and great tones such a shame I went through so many other set ups first 🙄
If the cab is bypassed, would that mean this pedal could technically be used as a preamp/drive pedal? Would be nice if it could still serve a purpose on my board when using a real amp
Exactly, I’ll do some into an amp Sounds in a later video.
@@noisetoysimportstv1248 That's perfec! Please do:)

Thank you for this!
Hi, thanks for wonderful vid.
It was really helpful!
What input level(inst. or line.) should I set when I use a iridium after my pedalboard?
Thanks.
If you’re using guitar it’s instrument, keyboard, synth, drum machine and samples are all line level.
@@noisetoysimportstv1248 Thanks for your fast reply. Oh, then whether I use my pedalboard or not, it's for just instrument level? Not an line level? Thanks:)
Your pedalboard isn’t a sound source, only what’s plugged into it, so your if you’re plugging a keyboard into your pedalboard it’s line level, guitar is instrument.
@@noisetoysimportstv1248 Oh, I got it!! Thanks for perfect explanation:)
the song made me stay till the end. what song is that?
gotdam it can be a cab pedal too , wow many extras
Very good. Thank you. 😚
🙏🏼
Who'd have ever thought that one day our pedals would have easter eggs?
Haha yes
Can you record and listen whilst free of latency?
Yes there is no noticeable latency, it feel immediate and responsive
I don't know why I have such a hard time committing them to memory.
So, this or a UA Apollo Solo (just released, similar price point, comes with plug-ins/amp simulation) or Twin X? Maybe this better-and enough-for guitarists such as myself? Setting up a home studio, trying to figure it out.
