IRDX Core, let's talk about it...

Ahhhh I see! A Coors man! WE FOUND ONE GUYS!

IF I drink beer, it’s Blue Moon or Stella. But I don’t drink that shit unless I have to, it’s generally good vodka or I‘m not gonna bother.

Ewwwwww. Stella?? We call that a wife beater here in the UK. For obvious reasons.

We call it that here, too! But because it’s got a bit more alcohol content than Bud, Miller or Coors, causing the people that generally drink those beers to go from a regular night of yelling to a night of domestic violence.

Proper council estate booze that. Blerrrrggghhhhh!

Sick, OTT for guitar. Because you can’t use OTT on guitars.

Exactly my thoughts!

What's funny is this dude's "GRAYTEST IR IN THE WORLD" schtick was an immediate schill red flag for me years ago at TOP. Whether right or wrong; he had that vibe to me

Are you a shill if it’s your product?

Self-ShillTM


Alternate take: he seemed like a used car salesman.

well not really...but if you have dog in the fight probably best to not raise too much of a stink.
That always goes sideways.

Like modelling guy a talking smack about b, or better yet overpriced Strat guy whining about lesser overpriced Strat guy etc...

I do like a Blue Moon though.

In a world of amazing craft beer in every corner, why drink off the shelf piss? Even if you don’t like a nice hazy IPA (because you’re weak or something) there are soooo many actual good lagers and stouts and sours etc etc.

Mikko just dropped this interesting comparison video:

And this is why I usual avoid youtube guitar geekery...
The concept that distortion post mic is a bad thing. Like compressors, etc don't add harmonics particularly funny seeing that what comes out of mist amps is the even harmonics below the odd ones, whereas what the rest of the signal chain is more "balanced" for lack of a better term.

This! After I discovered IPAs (and all its variants) I cannot drink that mass produced sewage anymore

Post-mic saturation isn’t a bad thing, it’s just not novel, nor is it “speaker movement” or whatever. It’s aimed at guys who don’t want to know how processing works and want something that “makes guitar go brrrrrr”.

well... What they advertise it and what it is rarely is unified truth.

But the aghast posturing about there shouldn't be post-mic saturation...particularly with a different overtone content is what bugs me way more than advertising claims.

That is odd. Pretty much any heavy rock mixing class or walkthrough from modern engineers you find will have post-mic saturation all over the place. Like, on everything.

Correct. And if you add analog equipment it's just the nature if the beast.

Most accurate description of IRDX I’ve seen

A decent analysis of what the plugin is doing....
