First, thank you for demonstrating the gear as it is without any commercial pressure and for telling us your true opinion. This amp is used by Alex Bayrodt (at least with Primal Fear, and Voodoo Circle) live with the fatcab 1x12 on stage and the bluebox to FoH. He uses it in studio as well. He thinks it sounds amazing. I would like to try this iridium and to compare it with a Soldano Astro and a Friedman JEL 20. These 3 are on my short list, pricewise the iridium is 1st.
Sounded great, Jarrod! Even without any edits, lol! 😂 I remember when you first introduced the Iridium on your channel and how good it sounded then and I think you felt the same as well at that time. It’s amazing how many good pieces of gear pass our way and we are left to forget just how good something was because we’re already off to the next shiny, new thing. I’ve had the Iridium since it came out and don’t think I’ve spent more than an hour with it in total because something else caught my attention. It’s major GAS! Your video is inspiring me to pull it out and give it another look so thanks!
@Jason-Taylor thanks for commenting, Jason. Always good hearing from you. Yeah, hook that thing up and put a boost in front of it and I think you're going to love it
@@armymankr thanks for commenting. I really hope amp X comes out soon. It's been like 4 years since it's been announced lol. I wonder if it's ever going to happen
@@TONEWARSgearshowThomas talked about it in a german Interview. This dude is nuts. He explained while it took so long. Basically he's thinking on the micro-component Level...
My buddy was playing through Splawn and a Plexi... Killer tone..He picked up one of these, didn't want to like it, LOVES it... Uses this and a delay and pedal through a 412...Just saw his band (..other guitar player going throug an ENGL Artist 1/2 stack..) They sounded awesome... Bluguitar soinded huge , chewie and mean.. So Impressed!
I have both the iridium and the mercury... they are both awesome..so many variations in there.. all you need for sure.. having on board effects in the amp X would be great as well.. but looping delay and verb is not ahrd with these units..
Nice!!! Classic Queensryche right outa the gate! Very cool. I like the sound of this pedal very much, have not heard of it, but that is not surprising, there is so much great gear coming out these days... I just need more capital for my tonal investments. ( I happen to be playing FATES WARNING on my stereo as I watch this, and it has occured to me that the tonal comparisons are relevant)
@@saltpeter7429 thanks for commenting. It's such a great piece of gear. Very travel ready as well. Lightweight and compact, along with sounding amazing. I'll be learning some more Queensryche Rifts down the road for you guys. I love Fates warning as well. My band opened for them several years ago. Really cool guys.
Cant go wrong with a little Operation Mindcrime . Saw them open for Metallica on that tour . 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Great stuff Jarrod , love all this new techy shit , old tube head here . But still enjoy the content .

fun backstory - blackstar copied some of this design and Thomas Blug wasn't too happy about it.
Sounds great - been on the fence about picking one up for a while now as I keep thinking Amp X will come out soon haha

It feels good. That’s the thing the videos can’t convey.

@TONEWARSgearshow right on man! I look forward to it, thanks for doing what you do! ( like playing cool classic metal, etc)
Cant go wrong with a little Operation Mindcrime . Saw them open for Metallica on that tour . 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great stuff Jarrod , love all this new techy shit , old tube head here . But still enjoy the content .
@TONEWARS what position was the side tone control at for the Modern channel?
Man, now I want to listen to Queensryche
So you'll work with Walruses" but you REFUSE to work with Beluga whales or Great Wax Moths??
@@benburnett8109 exactly. I have a thing for walruses
How does this compare to say a dimehead nam player? ( feel ,tubetone)
I think tone and feel they are very similar. You'll definitely get a bigger variety of tones out of the Nam player though. (Because of the captures)
@@TONEWARSgearshow Ok thanx !!
Can you tonex it ?
which one more powerfull. this one or KSR ?
Hard to say. The ksr power amp is 50 watts, the Iridium is 100, but it's nanotube, not regular tubes.
Are you sure this is water?
Haha yes
