For anyone whose curious, I’ve now owned the HX Stomp, Kemper, and Iridium all at the same time. The HX Stomp was the worst of the three in dialing in a good amp tone. Kemper was the second, and Iridium was the easiest to get a great amp tone. Effects, the HX Stomp wins, Kemper is second, iridium is third but doesn’t have any really. For people who are looking for a great, direct option to use with your full pedalboard and only use Fender to Vox amps, get the iridium. For people who are looking for every amp possible, get the Kemper. For people who want to have a bunch of stuff in a small platform, get the HX Stomp. In strictly amp tone when comparing Vox and Fender amps, Iridium and Kemper tied, HX Stomp lost. In other non-Fender or Vox amps, Kemper wins obviously.

I realized reading users post most times are better than the demo video. Ive been looking for user comparisons as opposed to videos only displaying crunch / overdrive sounds. Any of those line 6 or helix or whatever all have that same ole distorted tones good and bad. Your statement is the deciding factor and aided me in my theory on all these too. Can you tell me how the iridium works pedal board to a direct input to a P.A. Head ? Does it require another type of pre amp maybe ? Thank you .

Status report: I purchased an Iridium back in 2020, for those times (more often than not) where the gig preference was low -> no stage volume. Churches, clubs, even larger venues. The Iridium has not only held up beautifully, but it's become my solution to volume requests. Nothing beats feeling the air push behind you w/ an amp.... but because the Iridium takes pedals so well, I can gig anywhere with my preferred pedalboard and get 99.9999999% of my "feel" and tone compared to my amps. I hate interfaces, it's quite literally an amp in a box that goes on your board. Get you one.

Great stuff. Sounds great. I've been working as a technician for over 20 years on fairly sizable bands (not mentioning any names, but ones that can sell a good few thousand tickets a night) and so many of them use amp simulation. Whether it be Fractal, Line 6 etc... We spend the load-in building walls of empty cabinets each day on stages just for eye candy. The guitars are usually going straight into a module behind the wall of speakers and then into the mixer. The sound is always better as the engineer has complete control and none of the "officianados" in the crowd are any the wiser. Personally I love these kind of products. They are the future. Valves sound great, but mainly in small spaces or recording studios in my opinion.

I also got the deluxe reverb tone master, and just ordered the iridium. My idea is to split my signal before my delay and reverb, and send the split dry signal to the Deluxe Reverb, then use the Iridium to add a stereo wet signal to it. I’ve already recorded with the IR from the Deluxe and I was surprised that it actually sounded plenty good, so I’m pretty sure this setup will end up working out.

Amp modelling is near enough for that I find. I use a free Le Pou Brit amp plugin with Two Notes. Then add reverb and delay etc in DAW. I have been thinking about getting an outboard unit for amp modelling, so I can use it with pedals. This thing sounds legit, although there is stiff competition out there. p.s. I like that little blues acoustic thing at the end.

I bought an HX Stomp recently to expand my pedalboard and as backup for gigs should an amp fail. Tried it straight into the desk at rehearsal and the rest of the band liked it. I prefer a live amp on the floor, but the band levels were more manageable, the mix better and likely to suit smaller venues we play where I can't get the amp to sing without being too loud. Interesting process.

Why are you adding Logic reverb effects when the pedal you're supposed to be demo'ing has that handy room knob?
@jakehoff52
4 жыл бұрын
I think it's because this is how many people will treat there iridium in post. At a venue, with direct in signals, it's likely that some reverb will get added through the mixing console, and in a recording setting almost everyone will add a reverb chain. The room knob is more to simulate the response the "microphone" would be picking up from the room. Turning it up all the way is more like using a ribbon mic about 4 feet or so from the cab (this measurement could be way off) where the figure of 8 pattern is picking up the response of the room. This isn't really the same application that regular reverbs would be used for on a signal.

Just got mine today. As soon as i got done with 20 minutes of noodling around, I ordered an ES-5. Took my two-notes le clean, REVV G2, soul food and Binary Cab sim pedal and a couple others I had laying around to Guitar Center and walked out with enough to pay for it. Just cleared up more room than the ES-5 will take, and now I'll be able to control a DD-500, RV-500, EQ-200 & the Iridium and it's 200 Presets via MIDI. I'll run all of those mentioned through channel 1, leaving 4 channels for whatever, probably my boost pedal, comp pedal and this little Tone City Sweet Cream that never seems to leave my board because it's so awesome and useful. I've seen one write-up on the ES-5 that suggest using a channel on the es-5 for a volume pedal. I dunno. I'll see. My volume pedal is the Thru-Tone Ernie Ball Jr mod & has my boards buffer in it. I dunno. We'll see. Anyway, this thing blew away my already lofty expectations. Just using it as another pedal seems a waste. If you haven't gone down the midi road, this pedal should send you there. 200 presets? Beyond a game changer. This is like BC vs AD from a pedal board musical perspective.

One thing you can do is place a mono 'null cab' IR as one of the IR's of the cab slots, but leave a standard IR cab on the other side. This will allow you to send the amp and cab signal to one side (PA) and just amp modeling to the other ('wet' amp).

Depends on what you want. I've got a Helix Floor and I'm selling it for the Iridium. Why? I like my pedals. Ones I can swap out and change knobs on the fly. My Helix is basically set to one rig (AC-30-based) copied to a bunch of different presets that I just use to turn on/off loops and control MIDI devices. I rarely use any extra effects beyond what I already have, and, while the flexibility is nice to add in whatever I want if I want to mess around, I really just don't use it. Additionally, the Helix just doesn't take pedals as well depending on how you dial in things. I was seriously considering getting the HX Stomp and literally leaving it on one preset at all times, but, for $100 US less, a smaller form factor, and exactly the features I need from a brand I personally trust, it's a no-brainer. For some, having dozens of options is great, and I've used Line 6 stuff for a long time because I could "go metal!" when I wanted to, but, in practice, the 1% of times I want something else could be replaced by a simple drive pedal at this point. The Iridium isn't for everyone, but, for what I need? It's exactly what I've been wanting for years.

@@dougc84 I got the Iridium in the end for the same reason. I tried out the HX Stomp at the same time and it has way more features but I like the simplicity of the Iridium and I prefer to use my own pedals.

@@SteveClarkeSongs The last 7ish years of my playing has been based around complex rigs with presets for songs, sounds, everything. It was a MIDI-controlled dreamland. I was able to pull up a preset for a song I was playing and, by hitting one button, I'd trigger the next section of the song - turn on drives, change banks on my BigSky and Timeline, change amp cabs, whatever! But the problem for me was that it caused option paralysis. I didn't want to change anything because I didn't want to mess anything up. I didn't want to play at home because I was locked into all of these hundreds of presets and banks and whatever. It led to a serious lack of creativity. A few months back, I built a simple, tiny pedalboard to "get out" - CBA Mood, Fulldrive, El Cap, Neunaber Immerse, and Neunaber Iconoclast (cab sim), and I've been just playing and being creative for the first time in years. I'm going to rebuild my main board with this concept in mind - being creative, and not letting "presets" and a digital display lock my sounds in. And that's yet another reason I'm excited to get my Iconoclast this week - it's just simple.

Can I use an expression pedal to pan between two amp sims like pearl jam used to do between fender and marshall and anything between?

You forgot the Volante, those 2 pedals, the Big Sky and the Volante and what more would you need?
