    I can only imagine that an IR-J (or IR-JJ) is going to hit the market sometime before the end of the year, and I'm here for it!

    • @TimmyDarkness

      Or maybe the IR-SLO

    • @Kesh_il_Lindo

      @TimmyDarkness That would be amazing, but Soldano is a different company.

      I’d also love an IR-S (Steve Stevens).

    Bro… you need a Twin Sister in your life!
    From an old heavy rocker and metal guy, the shear character is just phenomenal. When you’re laying down heavy rock track, it’s straight up THE sound of great rock electric guitar with all the good stuff. It almost cannot get any better.
    Excellent demo!!!

  • @SteveSterlacci

    These pedals are such genius. Sounds just as good as a pro studio recorded amp

    • @RegalEagle1979

      His demos are great because he demonstrates gear in the context most of us will be using it in. He plays things that let us hear the gear for how it sounds...while most guitar UA-camrs just use the platform as an ego trip and wank speed drills which helps us decide nothing.

    Hey I really like the "Dialing in the Controls" portion. Thanks for doing that! You're so good at dialing in those killer mixes, but it really helps to hear these pedals/amps on their own outside of the mix. Cheers!

    Very lovely again. Thinking of selling my Friedman be-od dual overdrive and buy one of these. :)

    I'm still out here hoping that this pedal format makes its way over to Deziel and Soldono.
    I would kill to have a vh4 style tube preamp pedal at the price of those Friedman ones.

  • @audiobrainiac

    Great demo, that’s
    molten lava tone. Love the fat bottom and searing lead tone. I boost my Dirty Shirley with a Friedman Golden Pearl for leads.

    So, which do you prefer IR-X or IR-D?

  • @foofiter02
    @foofiter02 Місяць тому

    Amazing vid as always Jon!
    The real question: What would you recommend, the Phoenix with the SD or the Fishman pickups? I like the versatility of the Fishman set but you make yours sound so good!

    • @SonicDriveStudio

      Good question but highly subjective. It really depends on your taste

    Does it sound anything like the Mark V crunch channel?

  • @rangerdoc1029
    @rangerdoc1029 22 дні тому

    Would love to see a comparison of the two. I absolutely love channel one on the ird. And I'm finding that I never use Channel 1 on my irx. But Channel 2 on the IRx is perfection.
    I'm wondering if I can tone match Channel 2 of the ird by cutting some bass up front.

    • @rangerdoc1029
      @rangerdoc1029 22 дні тому

      Next model is coming next summer. I forgot which but it's not the JJ. It's either a jel or a Steve Stevens.

  • @rams2702
    @rams2702 Місяць тому

    it doesnt have a poweramp section like the victory pedal amps right? so i need a poweramp, an active speaker like fender tone master or go directly FOH ?

  • @MRxr400
    @MRxr400 Місяць тому +1

    these units are perfect for an old fart like me who just wants a standard amp set up layout without banks, effects and menu's. i recon i'd plug it into the computer very rarely to edit, it sounds great as is.

    Some of these products I wish you might do the opening sounds with the out of box IRs. I get that you're sponsored by Ownhammer but for like 10 minutes I'm wondering how it sounds out of the box and if we'll get to hear it with the stock IRs. I otherwise really enjoy your content

    • @SonicDriveStudio
      @SonicDriveStudio  Місяць тому

      I think the dialing in bit was all with the stock cabs iirc

      God bless Dave Friedman for putting Boutique amp tones Within Reach of the middle class

    • @grim.whizzy
      @grim.whizzy Місяць тому

      It sounds really well and especially in a mix. Like the IR-X it deserves a place on a pedal board.
      The warmth and the more vintagesque sounds is amazing.

    • @lostinpa-dadenduro7555
      @lostinpa-dadenduro7555 Місяць тому

      This sounds really cool. If someone already has a bunch of high gain stuff this would be perfect to add more flavors to their setup or studio.
