Two channels, infinite possibilities!

With two fully independent channels, the IR-X opens up a world of tonal possibilities.

Channel one takes you from classic British-voiced cleans to a roaring Plexi-style crunch.

Switch to channel two, and you're in for Friedman's signature higher-gain voice with incredible punch, note clarity, and sustain.

 

Boost your creativity.

Both channels feature their own independent and highly customizable boost circuits.

This means you essentially have four channels at your disposal, all accessible with a simple tap of your foot.

It's like having your own amp collection in one pedal!

 

Impulse Response magic!

Great tube amps deserve great speaker cabinets, and the IR-X doesn't disappoint.

It comes loaded with Dave Friedman's favorite IRs for an authentic cabinet and power amp simulation.

You can select IRs per channel via the convenient 3-way toggle switches or load your own seamlessly through the IR-X's editing software.

Plus, you can bypass the onboard IRs to use your preferred IR loader.

 

Unleash your creativity.

The IR-X's included Friedman IR-X Editor software takes your tonal control to a new level.

It lets you fine-tune each channel's power amp simulation with thump and presence controls, load your favorite IRs, activate the Boost Lock feature, and toggle the loop ON/OFF. You can save it all to 128 MIDI presets, providing you with unmatched flexibility.
