    I just got mine last Friday. I played through it for two hours straight when I got home. This thing does everything Strymon says it does and more. I cannot say enough good things about it. Now I can play through headphones with ultra-realistic tones. Get one, you will NOT regret it.

      Yeah I got me one. It's great. Love that I can use the headphone output to send the signal to my 2 inputs of my audio interface and the stereo outputs to time based effects and then into the other 2 inputs of the audio interface and that way I can mix the dry signal with the one mixed with the delays and reverb. Its a great option. Great pedal.

    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.

I'm a new follower and love your jaw-dropping 70's 80s leads and chord changes with 2020 equipment- all right up my alley. You're awesome - remind me of Joe Perry - I did some stage work for Joe Perry Project twice- 2 weekends each - and was right next to him on stage behind the PA watching - you have a lot in common

    @davelanciani-dimaensionx Před 3 lety +9

    "Option Anxiety" is exactly the problem I have with my POD Go and Helix-style products. A gazillion options too many. Let's face it, the gazillion options are just options of the basic three amps anyway, right? Every amp out there is a version of either a Fender, Vox, or Marshall. The Strymon Iridium simply reduces the options down to the most basic choices, brilliantly, and there are KNOBS you can tweak on the fly!

    • @MikeyLikesItt
      @MikeyLikesItt Před 2 lety

      Thank youuuu,
      The only person who knows to dial it back whether gear or style or anything has first taken it way too far,
      And I 100 percent agree
      I had helix stomp and often used different presets, but never once did I create my own patch or dive the menus or do hardly anything the thing was capable of,
      Simplicity is best
      give me a few options with easy tactile controls
      Tweak a few little things here and there, master the controls after a year or so of use and it becomes second nature to manipulate the thing on the go
      at the flip of a switch
      at a moments notice,
      This type of workflow is so crucial to creativity and fun, I can't stress this enough,

    I recently invested in a TONEX pedal ... something I really regret. The 1st pedal was physically defective, and the next two pedals had some sort of non-fixable software issues. For the vast majority of the time I "Owned" a TONEX Pedal (March of this year through late August of this year) I did not have a working pedal to use and was either waiting for a call from IKM "Tech Support" or I was waiting for a replacement pedal. This was a VERY unpleasant experience. When the pedal worked, it sounded very good ... however, I had a 100% failure on their TONEX pedals. This Strymon Iridium looks like a good alternative to the TONEX pedal, however, the reliability and accuracy of any piece of equipment I invest in must be very good, or I don't need it. Thanks for another good video Pete ... keep 'em coming.

    Hey Pete awesome video as always! I think Iridium sounds great! I don’t know if ya know, but Humboldt Electronics pedals just made The Simplifier! It’s very similar to the Iridium, have the same amps models, but the big difference is that the Humboldt Simplifier it’s 100% analog! Man, it would be so great to see a comparison and let us know your thoughts!!! I’m trying to decide which to go for! 🙏🤙
