Someone compare the UA Dream vs Strymon Iridium with York Audio !
ILL DO IT! Gonna order one today my friend.
@@SuperdangerStudios Great! It will be a revealing video. UA Dream 65 with its own cabinets vs Strymon Iridium with the best IR on the market (York Audio). I have no doubt it will be a great video. I'll be waiting!
@@SuperdangerStudios subscribed for this (actually already subscribed earlier today hah)

Something I would like to mention is that the Iridium is voiced after the Normal channel of a deluxe reverb. The UA is modelled after the Vibrato channel. If I am not mistaken the Vibrato channel has an extra gain stage (tube) in the circuit. Something to bare in mind !
You're so very welcome!
Can’t wait for your channel to blow up mate. This is the best quality gear content page I’ve ever watched. Thank you
Dude! So kind of you to say that. ill see you at the top!
Thanks for this! By far the best York Audio IR in my IriGium--I'm sure there are others, but I haven't quite dialed them in as easily and with such immediate and drastic difference as the FTWN 212
Another great and useful video, Alex. Mix 17 sounds fantastic. With the benefit of your experience and advice through these vids, I have been able to get the most out of my new Iridium in no time flat! You have a great sensibility and taste about tone. I smile every time I see a notification that you posted a new video. Thanks so much.
Thanks again, Slide! The IR pack is so good. Almost every mix sounds great. If I were a more enterprising man I would create my own from their selections. I am stoked to hear you are enjoying the Iridium and that my videos have helped! More to come. Cheers!
York also makes a few other Fender packs: Fender Bassman 410 w/ Jensen P10Q, Fender Custom Vibrolux 210 w/ Jensen P10R Alnico, Fender Blackface Deluxe Reverb 112 w/ Oxford speaker, and Fender Princeton 110 w/ Oxford speaker. All are amazing packs
I actually have that video coming out next week! The only one I didn't have is the Princeton IR. I did a couple videos on the Twin and the Vibrolux too. Here: ua-cam.com/video/f_59z0otGB4/v-deo.html
Cheers!
What do you suggest from York to a guy that comes from a hard rock and metal background and never used fenders and now love that tone. I even switched to fender stats and Teles.
the Deluxe Reverb for crunch and the Twin for clean
I have the ruby, and dream, but thanks to your great vids I picked up an iridium and it really has way more cut and dynamics…. It’s awesome. The York IR packs do not disappoint. They should give you a kick back by the amount you’ve probably helped sell
Haha I’m stoked you got the Iridium! Even though it’s not a perfect recreation it’s amazing for tracking and live. And stoked you got York Audio IRs. Their stuff is so dang good.
Great job on this video and the last Iridium video. I’ve been using it for a couple years and like using the Punch for my strat sound. The Round doesn’t get as scooped as the Punch and it sounds like a smaller amp. I changed the IRs in the manager for the Punch to the more Fendery ones and have to use some strange settings: bass on 7:00 and mids at 10:00. It sounds a lot closer to Philip Sayce dirty clean sound. My favorite Marshall sound is the Chime + GNR cab with a Klon in front. The Chime has more mids and gain than the Punch.
I’ll try using the Punch as you recommended. I don’t think I’ve tried that before. Cheers!
Those "strange settings" actually correspond (roughly) with the Fender Magic Six settings for a Deluxe Reverb. www.singlecoil.com/docs/magic-six.pdf. I find they translate pretty well to the Iridium. Personally, I like the Bass a little higher at 09:00, Mid at 10:00 and Treble at 13:00.
Love this channel since I first watch your video pointing out the right way of using Iridium. Of course, subscribed. I also would like to see the comparison video of Iridium and UAFX, especially with good IRs in Iridium.
Thank you! I am getting the Dream 65 today so should have the video up in the next week or so! Am gonna do exactly that, compare it to the iridium w the same IRs and compare it when it’s in a mix. Can’t wait!
A search for the best Iridium Plexi IR would be very welcome as well !
Try the newest Marshall pack from York. I have it and the Blackjack pack and while they're both good, the Marshall Dual pack is even better. And they captured two different cabs so it's basically a 2-in-1 pack. To me it's THE Marshall sound.
I have 11 packs by York and my favorites are the Fender Twin for Round, Matchless for Chime, and Marshall 1960(a) for Punch. I also really dig the Mesa Traditional and OS for both Chime and Punch.
I can get almost any sound I want with these.
Will do, Henk!
I have the M25 and M20 and love them both but I want to try the new 1960a. How do you like it?
@@SuperdangerStudios I use it all the time. I prefer the (a) cab to the (b). To my ears compared to the Marshall Blackjack IRs, it sounds more open and a bit brighter. But the brightness probably just came from specific IR I picked. But the openness is pretty ubiquitous across all of the 1960 IRs compared to Blackjack.
I use the york audio zila 2x12 V30. SM57+C414
Cut lots of bass with the impulse manager.
I actually cancelled my UA Dream order after watching your video. But Iridium is almost 3 years old as a digital product so I’m hesitating. I want an amp in a box pedal simply because it’s impossible to get good overdriven tone in a bedroom through a tube amp😂 Anyways great stuff you’re putting out! Can’t wait for the UA Dream vs. Iridium video!
Oh wow! I still think the Iridium is a good buy today. You can always try it and return it if you dont like it! I would also look into the new Two Notes revolt pedals and even the BluGuitar Amp1 which is techincally a real 100w amp in a pedal. Let me know what you go with!
I just ordered a Boss IR-2 today. Let's see, for the price and size, it looks like a great contenter.
Thanks for posting - your Iridium vids have helped me tame the beast. I go straight into a PA (UAFX Dream R & Iridium L) at gigs - the York Audio IRs are worth every penny. The iridium is more fun than the UAFX but does need the Flint - the UAFX Reverb, however is beautiful (and sags too).
Thanks so much, Slim! I am assuming you use in ears on gigs. And yeah, the Dream65 verb literally makes that pedal!
@@SuperdangerStudios in-ears🙏, only if there is a good engineer. Otherwise monitors
Matthew Springer the goat
That bit at 2:39 was sick
Thanks dude! Fun little riff
I need those pickups, for real
They are worth every penny
@@SuperdangerStudios They are even cheap to sound how good they sound
I’m new to the fender world, but I love this “stereotypical”? fender style music that is played in the video. Where do I start learning this style of playing? And hearing it??
Hendrix, John Mayer live, Stevie Ray Vaughn is a great start for this style of playing incorporating double stops etc.
Put a Kingsley Page ( bass cut and treble cut engaged ) into the Iridium with York Ir's ---- really adds that pushed amp feel.
Oh man I’ve been looking at the Kingsley stuff and really want to get one. Any big difference between the Page TS and the Page?
@@SuperdangerStudios His web site reads, "The Page TS takes the regular Page circuit and adds more features and controls for more versatility and a wider range of sounds and applications". Fairly certain I would've bought the TS if it would've been available at the time. With that said, the Page is great and I don't feel I'm missing out. I gig most weekends in the SF bay area and I've been using it for just over a year and a half now,-- can't imagine taking it off the board. I run the Page into a Revival drive compact for that "je ne sais quoi'.
Hi, love your content about the Iridium! 🤩 keep up the good work! I have a small question, through which speakers/studio monitors do you play them? Thanks!
Thanks Balpens! Will do. When monitoring on my computer I use my Yamaha HS7s. They work great. Nice and even response. Cheers!
@@SuperdangerStudios Thanks for taking the the time to reply.
It sounds good on its own, but using it after wah cause the amp to clip. Anybody else experience this?
The Iridium clips? Are you going direct into DAW or through external speakers?
@@SuperdangerStudios Direct into DAW (Amplitube amp emulation). It seem to clip if your amp model and IR are too clean and trebly
Love these videos! Great playing ! Just a question is the flint before or after iridium? Thx
Thanks Sven! Yes the flint is after the Iridium but I have it in preamp mode only and loaded the IRs in my DAW using Bias FX 2. Hope this helps!
Great video! So which IR did you use for this video specifically? I got the IR pack from York Audio and I'm just overwhelmed with all the different IRs.
And also, why are there pedal names like CE-1 in the IR file names?
I was overwhelmed as well! I just use the pre mixed ones. Only about 15 files in there and they are all ready to go.
It gets expensive with the drive pedal. Sounds amazing though. Wondering if the tonex can come close.
haha yeah, the Revival Drive isn't cheap by any means. But it works with any pedal tbh. I bet the Tonex can come close. IK multimedia does a great job too.
Love your channel! May I ask you whether you are using 250k or 500k pots with your tele? Many thanks!
Thanks UC! The pots are the stock 250k!
Do you have the cab simulator turned off on the Iridium?
yes. turned off and IR in my DAW.
Hi Bro, I'm a fan of your content, , your iridium sound is amazing, i have that york FTWN 212 D120, can you please tell me Which IR file do you use for this video? thanks a lot Bro. really enjoy your content.
I only use the pre mixed IRs. They all sound amazing. I never use the singles bc it’s too much work haha.
@@SuperdangerStudios thank you 😍🙏🏾.
Sick! Whats that neck pup please!? That pretty glassy right? Neer have enough glassyness with my tele neck. Thanks!
It’s a Lollar Royal T! It’s so good.
Great stuff! do I understand you have the reverb coming after the iridium in the chain?
Yes I do to make it a bit more amp-like. Iridium > Flint Spring Reverb > IR
@@SuperdangerStudios wow, brainfreeze, how can you put the flint in between the iridium and the IR?
Sorry for the delay here, UA-cam doesnt let me know when there is an additional comment on the channel! I am using an IR loader in my DAW on the channel strip. I use Positive Grid FX2 and uploaded all my IRs there.
And I run the Strymon in Preamp only mode. Obviously when I am playing with it live I just run it normally. But in the studio this is typically how I run it.
Very nice indeed !
Many thanks, Henk! See you next time!
Did yorkaudio ir work with nuxmg30?
One more question: If you have mix 17 U47 and SM57 Vintage: do you mean the U47 on L and the SM57 on R? (both Mix 17?)
The mixes they offer are actually premixed in mono. I just like using their mixes although you can create your own mixes bc they offer all the individual mics as well.
@@SuperdangerStudios I want to know this too. L and R channel both are loaded with the same MIX IR?
Sorry for the delay Zerny, the mix I was using is a mono premix. I don't like messing with cab balance etc so I just used their presets.
@@SuperdangerStudios Cool, thanks for the reply!
Sorry too many questions...I have the tonex pedal on the way. Can I get this tone with that? ...
The Tonex can definitely do a twin tone. IK multimedia is really good at amp and cab simulation.
hi. Do any of you use ir york audio live in the band? I play various corporate events and I don't have a sound engineer (drums, bass, keyboard, guitar). How do you cut the high and low tones?
You can cut high and low in the IR manager that Strymon has. It can do volume, pan, and hi low cut.
question: I'm waiting for my iridium so what's the best/easy way to try out and audition different IRs? using strymon IR manager or first bypass the cab sim on the pedal and use an IR loader in the daw? great channel BTW I subbed.
Hi Paulo! Easiest way to check IRs is to bypass the cabs and audition the IRs through your DAW as you can scroll through many of them and set up different reverb scenarios with it as well. Then when you narrow it down to your favorites you can upload those via Strymon IR Manager. Enjoy!
@@SuperdangerStudios I just got my iridium, I a/b it with my tech 21 blonde with the round amp of the iridium, thinking that the latter would blow the sans amp away, but on the cleans they sound the same. and the tech 21 is taking much better a distortion box in front, while on the strymon is overly compressed and dull. pretty let down by this I'm already thinking to give the iridium back. any chance I'm doing something wrong?
@@PaoloC. ah I am sorry to hear that. I have not had that experience. I found that the level going into the iridium must be at unity gain or lower I.e. must not boost the volume going into the iridium. Bc the iridium has a jfet input it will drive the signal. Secondly, on the iridium you need to have the mids very low on the round channel bc mids add gain as well. I sometimes have it all the way down on the round channel.
@@PaoloC. have you seen this video I did on tones: ua-cam.com/video/FNlBxGdZC88/v-deo.html
@@SuperdangerStudios thanks for the tips, yes I have seen that other video. it's quite odd that I need to enter at unity gain given that whatever od/dist box you'll want to raise the level over the clean! I'll give it another try but for now it's quite a bummer. I was willing to bond with the iridium and imagined also that it would sound much better than the tech 21, but it's not the case 😕
I recently added York Audio IR's to my Helix, since then I have deleted all other brands! They just sound better to me. The VHT IR's are killer.
The best IRs on the market
I`m a bit confused. You say york audio IR makes the fender tones on Iridium sound better, but in the comment section you say you are loading the IR after the iridium and flint. What´s the idea behind this signal chain?
Sorry for the confusion! I am using a plugin in Logic Pro to add the IR bc I wanted the Flint Spring Reverb to be before the IR in the signal chain. This way it more accurately models the spring reverb in a real Fender Amp. I put the Iridium in Preamp Mode, then into Flint, then into my DAW where the IR is finally added. Hope this helps clear that up!
@@SuperdangerStudios Thanx man. Next question: I bought the York FTWN 212 collection IRs under your recommendation and they come with these sub-folders called mixes, natural phase, minimum phase , each with a crap load of files to choose from... which one(s) are working for you?
Hi, you use IR in round mode, but...round a, round b or round c?
I am using it with the IR turned off. So just Round channel no IR going into my audio interface. In my DAW I have the York Audio IR loaded on the channel.
Hey! How do you get the Flint between the Amp and the IR? I mean, how do you do that in the iridium? thankss =)
Heyyo! I load the IR in my daw. Here is a video I did on it. This is how I get an FX loop with the Strymon Iridium & Bias FX 2
ua-cam.com/video/xlK4XmMejUE/v-deo.html
Just bought the York Ir set. How do I figure out what the mix listing is? I feel stupid haha
Hey Kevin! It’s a complicated process so no need to beat yourself up, my friend.
I like using the premixed IRs. There is a pdf that is in the folders that goes over the mix layout of the premixes while the single mixes are labeled. Let me know if you have more questions!
How can I get this tone with the York audio FTWN 212 in reaper? help!
What is the problem you are having? What preamp/amp modeler are you using?
Can you put that IR in the iridium
Yup! You can load any third party IR into the Iridium.
I tried the Strymon and the 65 Dream. The dream was much better for me. Most thing is that do anything with a lot of very good and no great. Your trying to say the Strymon is better. More versatile. For blackface the 65 is better
Love your videos and you're playing man. I'm just getting started with the York Audio IRs. Do you think there is a difference between using the IR in the IRIDIUM vs. putting the IR in your DAW? I don't have patience to run through al the "phase singles" so I appreciate that you don't either. I haven't even tried the mixes yet.
Hi, Drew. Thanks for the kind words. I don't think there is any sonic difference in having the IRs in the DAW. However the differences would start to present itself if there is latency when playing into your DAW, or if you want to introduce time based effects "pre" IR. And yes I only use the pre mixed ones. Too many choices! haha. Cheers
Hola amigo,vi tu vídeo y compré el pack que recomiendas,pero dentro de el me encuentro con tres opciones
Minimum phase singles
Mixes
Natural phase singles
Y dentro de esto muchísimas opciones más.
Podrías decir cuál de ellas utilizas, gracias, y pido perdón si por algún motivo no lo he visto en tu vídeo, soy de España y el idioma es un problema para mí.
Gracias por tu aportación!!
Hola Antonio. Eso de la cantidad de posiciones que vienen es un follón. Yo siempre uso la Mix 1. Lo leí por algún sitio y no me meto en mas líos.
@@garchigarchi gracias por tu respuesta, perdona mi ignorancia pero, donde encuentro el mix1? Quiero decir, si abro una de las tres carpetas no me aparece mix 1 si no muchos archivos llamados YA FTWN 212 D120 seguidos de m-1 ,m-2 etc, debo entender que m-1 seria mix 1 ? Y tendria 3 mix1 diferentes?
Hola Antonio. Solamento usando el Mixes. Creo que Los Mixes estan el mejor para escuchar. Los otros estan mas difficil para selectar. Lo siento mi español no es bueno.
@@AntonioLGUITAR Si has comprado un ir de York Audio (por ejemplo FTWN 212 D120), abres la carpeta y dentro encontraras de nuevo una carpeta que se llama (YA FTWN 212 D120), pues la abres y te aparecerá una carpeta 44,1k otra 48k y otra 96k. En mi caso tengo una NUX mg30 que puede mover archivos WAV de 48k. Abro esa carpeta y me aparecen 3 carpetas. Una de ellas se llama MIXES. Ábrela y encontraras archivos YA FTWN 212 D120 Mix 01.wav y así hasta el 14 o 15. Coge el Mix 01 y arreglado.
Por cierto, para los modos "chime" y "punch" has descubierto algún IR que merezca la pena tanto como el FTWN 212 D? Gracia por tu respuesta!
What can you recommend between FTWN or DXVB york's ir?
I love them both. Fender twin is a bit more higher mid focused while the dxvb has a lower darker register. Both are great if you can afford to buy em both.
@@SuperdangerStudios thanks mate!
Will this IR work with the two tone wall of sound?
Yes!
@@SuperdangerStudios great thx 😊
would it work still on humbucker ?
Absolutely!
I try the Mesa 2x12 with Celestion V30...only 1$...fantastic
Where are those sold?
plz dry
Do you mean dry signal no reverb?
