Strymon Iridium – Amp Modeler & Impulse Response Cabinet
Go Direct With Gorgeous Tone.
Strymon Iridium gives you three iconic amplifiers. They come with a total of nine impulse response speaker cabinets that complement the tonality of the amp. Skip the hassle of lugging around or miking amps. Place Iridium on your pedalboard and send gorgeous stereo amplifier tones, stunningly realistic cabs, and lush room ambience direct to a recording interface or PA system.
With Iridium, it’s a snap to dial in a direct tone that will truly inspire and sound great whether you are monitoring through in-ears, floor wedges, reference monitors, or studio headphones.
Three Iconic Amplifiers
Matrix Modeling™ process captures all the subtleties and unique tonal qualities of each amplifier. Strymon has taken three iconic tube amps with distinct characters and mathematically modelled every aspect of their circuitry. They did so with absolute precision to deliver the response, feel, and inspiring experience of playing through the original amps at their best.
Taking the process a step further, Strymon hot-rodded each amp to provide an extended range of tonal options. Options beyond what was available from the original designs.
Nine Stereo IR Cabinets
Iridium’s speaker cabinets offer a level of realism and responsiveness unprecedented in outboard effects. Iridium delivers full stereo 24bit 96kHz resolution for the entire 500 milliseconds of its speaker cabinet impulse responses. Until now, IRs of this resolution have only been available for use within studio recording software.
Iridium’s breakthrough technology means you can use the very best impulse responses available, bringing maximum realism to your pedalboard.
Adjustable Room Ambience
Iridium’s hybrid room reverb combines a 256 millisecond stereo impulse response with Strymon’s reverb tank algorithm for extended decay. This combination places your amp and cab in a natural-sounding room (small, medium, or large). Thus, creating a space for your amp to open up and breathe.
