Strymon Iridium Amp / IR Cab Pedal: Leave Your Amp At Home

Nothing reveals the true nature of your guitar and your playing like a world-class tube amp driving a perfectly matched speaker cabinet in a great sounding room. Now there is a pedal that truly delivers that sound and feel, with simple controls for effortlessly dialing in the perfect amp tone when going direct. Discover inspiring tube amp responsiveness, unprecedented impulse response speaker cabinet realism, and controllable natural sounding room ambience.

Three Iconic Amplifiers with Nine Impulse Response Speaker Cabinets

Iridium provides you with three iconic amplifiers, each with three impulse response speaker cabinets that complement the amp?s tonality. Skip the hassle of lugging around or miking amps. Place Iridium on your pedalboard and send gorgeous stereo amplifier tones, stunningly realistic cabs, and lush room ambience direct to a recording interface or PA system. Iridium makes it easy to dial in a direct tone that will inspire you and sound great whether you're monitoring through in-ears, floor wedges, reference monitors, or studio headphones.

Round Amp

Based on a Fender Deluxe Reverb*

The Deluxe is one of the most recorded amps in history for good reason. This amp is clean, bright, and mid-scooped, with plenty of headroom. At higher Drive settings, it delivers an overdriven sound unique to its architecture. We chose the Deluxe?s Normal channel for its round tone that plays well with pedals. While preserving access to all the tones originally available with this channel, our model gives you something extra: a midrange control. With the midrange at noon, you get the original fixed-resistor value and standard tonal characteristics of the Deluxe. Turn down the midrange for a more scooped sound, or turn it up for tweed-era tones.

Chime Amp

Based on the Brilliant channel of a Vox AC30TB*

The amp that defined the guitar sound of the British Invasion. Our model of the AC30TB Brilliant channel is jangly, bright, and chimey, providing air for subtle passages with a light touch and bite when you want to dig in. For this amp, the Middle knob acts as a Tone Cut knob, providing high-end roll-off just before the power tubes, per the original AC30 design. In addition to the full available gain of the original amp, towards the top end of the Drive knob?s range of travel, we?ve added a frequency-shaped front-end boost to tighten the low end while driving the amp further into saturation.

Punch Amp

Based on a Marshall Plexi (Super Lead model number 1959)*

This powerful amp is meatier, with higher gain than the other two amps, and has a powerful midrange response. This amp features a buttery, smooth overdrive. At higher Drive settings, it delivers all the high gain distortion and growl this amp is known for, and then some. Setting the Drive control at around 2 o?clock gets you the maximum gain the original Plexi design allowed. Beyond that, our model has some additional gain on tap, giving you access to custom hot-rodded Plexi high gain tones.
