Strymon Iridium Amp & IR Cab Simulator

Full Description

Unmatched sound quality

It doesn't get better than the Iridium. Because Strymon have taken every step to ensure it produces a tone of supreme quality, that simply can't be competed with. Equipped with the world's first 24 bit/ 96kHz 500ms stereo converter to feature in an amp simulator, the Iridium replicates the coveted tones of your favourite amplifiers and cabs with impeccable audio detail. Every nuance is faithfully captured using some of the most advanced technology ever seen in a guitar pedal. So you can experience a realistic tube feel with every note you play, and feel truly inspired in performance.

Infinite tone-shaping possibilities

There truly is no limit to your creative potential. So why restrict it? Strymon have ensured that you can customise every aspect of your sound by implementing three different amp types (Round, Chime, and Punch) through their Matrix Modeling process. Each amplifier is iconic. And their unique tonal qualities have been modeled with superb accuracy, incorporating every single detail – no matter how subtle. Nine stereo impulse response speaker cabinets also feature, gifting you with a multitude of options for your sound. And, by connecting the Iridium to Strymon's Impulse Manager software, you can even load your very own cab sounds.

So, you've selected your preferred amp type and impulse response cab from an abundance of options. What now? Well, it doesn't end there. Hosting an array of precise tone-shaping controls, the Iridium's customisable capacity is quite frankly beyond belief. Switch between sparkling cleans and sweet driven tones with the 'drive' knob. A 3-band EQ lets you sculpt your guitar's voice the way you want, without compromise. You can even colour your sound with ambience by dialling up the 'room' control. Whatever your preferred style, the power is with the player. Your tones all set up and ready for action. Next? Get playing.

Go direct

In this day and age, travelling from venue to venue with masses of bulky equipment seems absurd. Whilst we're all lovers of classic amplified tone, the all-too-familiar hassle begs the question "is there a better way?". Enter the Strymon Iridium. Hosting all your favourite amp tones in one compact unit, the Iridium can be connected directly to a PA. What this means, is that you can retain your cherished authentic tube sound and save yourself the tedious setup of complex microphones and amplifiers. Whether you're playing live or heading to the studio, simply plug in and you're good to go. It's a no-brainer.
