Friedman IR X clean to plexi on steroids 
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2023
- To reiterate the conclusion of having owned all the Friedman amps that have a plexi ch -this does it just as good. Actually better because you don't have the super sensitive MV in the Small box. Still messing with it but for now it is more useable and just as good sounding as any Friedman amp!
Lastly in this Vid I stated 'I use the plexi ch boosted more for solos'... Not so sure now. Still messing with ch 2 to get more gain and girth for my solo tone! I like to be able to get pinch harmonics and have a killer solo tone and apart from mellower songs that don't need a 'stadium rock tone' I would want more gain than the plexi provides for solos - Фільми й анімація

I'm sold. Tell Dave where to send your commission check.
Ha, for sure. My demoes (far from influencer status) have surely sold some amps!
Awesome demo! I got a real one hehe, subscribed
👍🏻 sounds great. I bought a Small Box 50 off you. Still enjoying it 😊 I wouldn’t mind an ir-x to sit on my desk though
I miss that SB!!! I wish I could keep everything
40 years later and most amps are just trying to replicate the sound of a Plexi being pushed to the brink of Destruction.
My litmus test for any Plexi circuit is if it can do that musical ringing edge of breakup tone at the intro to Hells Bells. I've yet to find a digital modeler that can get it right. Same for Noise Pollution... Angus starts it almost clean and just digs in a little bit more on each bar. Hand me a guitar & that's my go-to riff.
My ideal tone for channel 2 would be if it can do facelift Jerry Cantrell.
Exactly, for year I have went straight to gain channels and missed this glorious note distinct hard rock crunch. And most modern amps cannot even do a lower gain rock crunch. Rock on!!
I don't mind some tap dancing anymore.
I had some pretty sophisticated loop switchers. For me it came down to capacitance and feel.
To much cable running to the switchers caused tone suck. For me atleast.
I know buffers help with capacitance issues. But they feel awful under the fingers. I probably had twenty extra feet of cables running loop switchers, cutting that out, I had a noticeable improvement in tone and feel..
I sometimes miss one step turning on multiple things
Same that's why I have this rig..
Man -that sounds so good. I just picked up the IR-X and so far my best tones are from headphones. Tried the send to my Marshall SV20 & cab and it's OK with the IR's turned off - still playing with the settings. What is your signal chain - sounds direct to a board or PA?
What headphones are you using? I need a pair primarily for guitar.
Thanks! Out to Atomic FRFR then linked to PA at band volume!
Excellent sound… just got the IR-X yesterday… hopefully have some time tonight to mess with it….
Sounds like an easy way to go with that HXFX… had a fractal a while back but never liked messing with a million possibilities that never sounded great… good sounds but not what I was after…. Does the IR you’re using come embedded in the IR-X?
Thanks
James
Yes, I used Dave's greenback IR and the V 30 that is nowhere near as harsh as a real V30
@@cragginshred thanks… my IR-X
just went dead tonight!!
I emailed Dave to see if he has any ideas before I have to mail it back in..
All lights and switches work fine. Just no sound..
One last question. Which ir are you using? Thanks for answering all my questions!!!
Mostly the greenback cab, I do dabble with the v 30 too depending on the room
Great vid…question…with having the two loops on the hx effect does this mean that you could have the irx in loop 1 and another preamp (dream 65 for example for a fender clean) and then be able to switch them in and out to be able to switch between them with a snapshot?
Also, would you be able to route the two preamps in parallel (clean and dirty) running at the same time and send out in stereo?
Thanks for any help
Thanks, I run the two loops to take out the Tumnus for a by bypassing loop 1 for a clean tone. Not sure on the last question
are those your plexi rhythm settings in the vid when you pan down to your board? just confirming. thanks! sound killer btw!
Yes, thanks!
That sounds really good! What are you using for a cab?
Thanks, Atomic CLR FRFR and PA
Awesome video! Where is the sound coming from in this video? the Friedman conected to an DAW and frfr speakers or a real amp?
Sorry for my crappy english
No DAW, I did not keep this unit, I believe I went to powered FRFR and PA ch 2 was way too compressed for me
sounds great. curious how clean does it get? any breakup with the gain knob at 9 oclock like u have it? thanks
Yes you can get a clean with it around there. /buy one with a return option and see if if floats your boat! I did not keep it
Cool thanks. Curious why did you move on from it?
I still haven't been able to replicate this, but I'm not giving up.
I'm using a Klone + Bluesbreaker. It sounds splatty compared to yours.
How do you have the Heir Apparent dialed? I can see the Tumnus settings on your board & set mine the same.
Are you trying to get the boosted plexi tone? Not sure man, different room, speakers pups ect
Try different IRs? Maybe third party? I’ve heard a lot of people complain about this and like to turn the bass down. You could use the tight switch for Ch 2 also
Sir, I have got one yesterday. Any pedal power supply recommended that can power up the IRX?
There are some just look at the rating.
I'm using a rechargeable Solutek supply. The 12v 1000mA for the IR-X & the 9v outputs for everything else. Good for a couple hours per charge.
How would you say the IR-X compares to the JEL? How close can you get the IR-X to the JEL?
The plexi ch on both are very similar when boosted . Ch 2 on the IR X seems more compressed
Any chance you could make a comparison?
Tell me a bit about that suhr tele
It's an Anderson, a step up from Suhr. Killer guitar in every way!
How was the Friedman IR-X set, signal chain for @2:37?
Same as pic at start of vid!
@@cragginshred So that was also with the TuUmnus on as well I take it?
I agree the PLEXI channel really loves pedals ! For effects I use an HX Stomp a perfect match ! Love the Friedman IRX I run it into the effects loop return of a (KLD )Marshall Clone I built .
How much louder is the plexi channel when you go to your tumnus setting
about a 3rd louder, but that's because it's pushing it hard. You can dial it back or just use the on board boost. So many options
I have an octonout hyperdrive which is also a klon circuit. Thinking it will work well also. Your video has me about to sell off a bunch of pedals and a Fryette 50cl😂😂😂
is this a DI tone or are you playing through a powered speaker?
Straight to PA with FRFR in room.
Look at all that crap you don't need when you have a good modeling amp, probably for way less Money to.
