Strymon Iridium Amp And IR Cab Pedal - Power Supply Included

Pack the Pedals. Leave the Mic and Amp.

Love your pedals, but hate hauling an amp to practice or play out? The pedal-sized Strymon Iridium gives you the tube staging, tone stack, and touch response of three iconic amplifiers, each with three corresponding cabinet choices, all in a line-level stereo output which you can send straight to FOH. No amp required. Iridium's Class A JFET preamp handles your guitar and stomps just like a true tube amp. Its analog front end feeds a powerful 2-stage DSP processor which carefully approximates the tube bais, harmonic breakup, cone compression, and EQ interaction of some of your favorite front ends. Whether you're playing the blues through chunky American 1x12 or raising the roof through a dimed British high-watt, the Strymon feels and handles much like your favorite stacks and combos. A preset switch gives the Iridium the functionality of a 2-channel amp for clean/dirty applications, with an additional 300 accessible via MIDI switch. Meanwhile, a front headphone jack lets you monitor yourself directly from the stage — no in-ears required.

3 essential tube amps

Strymon's Matrix Modeling technology brings you compelling virtualizations of three iconic tube amps. Here's what's inside:

• Round Amp— The Normal channel of a classic American 1x12" is the basis for the Round amp's mid-scooped, high-headroom character and gentle tube breakup. Unique to the circuit is the Iridium's midrange control: at noon, you get all the chunk and quack of the original tone stack. At higher values, Tweed-era tones start to appear. Additional gain on the top end gives the Iridium a velvety crunch you'd never be able to coax out of the genuine article.
• Chime Amp — The British Invasion owes more to the TB channel of this particular 30-watt combo than any other in history. At lower gains, the Chime channel is jangly and present, with great touch dynamics and a sweet harmonic breakup. Run hot, you get all the gain of the dimed original and beyond, with a frequency-shaped front end boost implemented toward the top of the gain range to saturate and tighten up those crunch tones. As with the combo, the Iridium's Middle control acts as a Tone Cut to roll off treble just before you hit those virtual power tubes.
• Punch Amp — When meaty cleans and knobs-at-11 high gain are what you're after, Iridium's Punch Amp preset is the option for you. It's modeled after a particularly coveted British hundred-watter of the '59 vintage. Gain settings at 2:00 on the Iridium gets you that classic Plexiglas-paneled snarl and growl. Opening up the throttle moves you well into hot-rodded Van Halen territory and beyond.

• 9 onboard speaker cabs

  The Strymon Iridium comes stock with nine choice speaker cabinet impulse responses (IRs) from leading third-party manufacturers like OwnHammer and Celestion Digital. We found these a great starting point for each of the onboard amps, with very little need to modify. Even so, if you've got a collection of custom or homemade cab IRs you're picky about, the Iridium lets you load them in over USB using the free Strymon Impulse Manager, with support for mono/stereo files up to 500ms in 24/96 quality. Here's what comes onboard:

  • Round A: Deluxe Reverb 1x12" (OwnHammer) — Open-back Fender combo with a 1978 Fender CTS 12" ceramic speaker
  • Round B: Blues Junior 1x12” (cabIR) — Open-back Fender combo with a Jensen C12N 12" speaker
  • Round C: Vibrolux 2x10” (cabIR) —Open-back Fender combo with two 1965 Jensen C10NS 10" speakers
  • Chime A: AC30 2x12” Alnico (OwnHammer) — Open-back Vox combo with two 2001 Celestion T0530 Alnico Blue speakers
  • Chime B: 1x12"Alnico (Celestion) — Closed-back cab with a Celestion Alnico Blue 12" speaker
  • Chime C: Mesa 4x12" (ValhallaIR) — "Half-back" Mesa cab (open top, sealed bottom) with two Mesa/Celestion Black Shadow MC-90 12" speakers and two Mesa/Electro-Voice Black Shadow EVM-12L 12" speakers
  • Punch A: GNR 4x12" (OwnHammer) — Closed-back Marshall cab with four 1971 Celestion Greenback G12M-25 12" speakers
