New Friedman IR-X preamp

[aivoryuk]

Finally tried it out and made a little review with 4 different guitars, styles and tones:

Nice review - I've been very impressed with the IRX and it does feel better (in my opinion) compared to playing my FM3. I'm now seriously thinking of making the jump to the Synergy world.

Stereo and rackmount.

FWIW my PS2 is rackmount... The kit is pretty cheap and works well. :)

Great review! I wish I could hear the IR-X sounds isolated.

Here's a little comparison between my JJ JR vs IR-X vs BE OD Deluxe:

I am eagerly awaiting the IR-D. Soon.

Late to the party but I'm in love with my IR-X. I built a pedalboard around it and it sounds great. I've been mainly using my FM9 for a while so I've been trying to recreate the IR-X in my FM9. I get close but there's a brightness and liveliness on the clean channel I can't quite get on the FM9 even with the same IRs. I'll try again with the version 7 firmware. The IR-X just works for me.

My only knock is the knobs. I dislike those types of knobs on any pedal. They get bumped really easily in transport. I'll probably replace them.

What model are you using on the FM9 to get said clean tones? The IR-X's channel 1 is the Friedman Plexi channel which isn't really modelled in any Fractal device, so you may want to give one of the Plexi models a go for dialling it in closer. The 2203 Low might be an interesting candidate as well.

I tried several plexis and settled on 1987x treble for now. I don't think I tried 2203 Low so I'll give that a shot. Thanks.

It sounds like you've been experimenting with different amplifier options, specifically the Marshall Plexi models, and have settled on the 1987x treble for now. That's great to hear! The 1987x is known for its classic rock tones and vintage Marshall sound.

What is your favourite colour?
