we shoot out the Friedman IR-X and the Friedman IR-D

[@MsEsphorizon]

I will wait for Friedman IR-JJ

[@JohnRobbfl]

Both sounded great, and I agree that the IR-D has something special about it.

[@surefire1333]

Awesome video comparison guys. From my style of playing I think the IRD is the one for me. I think it sounds a little more full especially when you dialed in the trouble. Great comparison.

[@Paul-lj3qw]

I can’t tell the difference, due to you guys are playing drop tuning metal

[@rogerburk]

Awesome demo, fellas!! You guys are both killer players who know how to put gear through its paces. I’ve had the IR-X for about a month, and now have an IR-D on the way 🤘🏽Tone for days! Thank for posting this shootout 👊🏽

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Congratulations on the new pedal! You're going to love it.

[@frankenstein4106]

For my style, the IR-D gets the nod. I like the fuller sound!

[@jeffhirshberg5171]

Just received an email from IK Multimedia touting their partner capture/tone packs... and lo and behold, there yours are! Congratulations, Jarrod! Very happy for you. Most well deserved opportunity.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad that I'm finally on their marketplace. What a great company to partner with.

[@tonycarel1785]

Nicely done showering what both can do!

[@lucwilson1]

Great to have Steve as a guest shredder!

[@steveo041]

Thanks! Hoping to be back soon

[@blakeanderson7906]

Both are really cool! I use the IR-X but i would like to try the IR-D.

[@charlesycoker]

Been digging the IR-X as a direct solution as well into amp FX return. Have two Friedman amps as well. Have an IR-D coming in today.

[@mimirguanco6160]

Like the clarity of the IR x both pedal are nice but it's IR X for me

[@rangerdoc1029]

I never in a million years would have thought the ird could chug. Just dayum

[@tyroneenglish8396]

Thanks for the video. IR-D is going to sell well.

[@joejohnson8966]

17:35 interesting. Didn't know that about Kiesels.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thanks for commenting. My Kiesel is also on the bright side. Even though it has the same pickups as my Majesty guitars it's still brighter than them. I don't understand why that is the case. Some people say it's the bridge or the pots. I'm going to do some experimenting when I get a chance and try to address that issue.

[@joejohnson8966]

@@TONEWARSgearshow Good luck, Sir.

[@WilliamZuest]

Excellent video.

[@gordonwyper7324]

What a racket

[@mr.d.572]

The IR-D has plenty of gain and sounds better overall.

[@ShawnShipstad]

If I understand correctly, if the Friedman IR X or D is run through an FX loop of any amp, you get 2 more amplifiers automatically? Wow. 500.00 for two more amps. Sounds like a super deal.

[@ScottTheNews]

I like the IR x because it will cut better in a mix

[@HVACRTECH-83]

Hell yessss! This one goes out to all the boost karens out there. Lets see what they can teach us today.

[@lookmanostrings]

How do you do a 30 minute video with no time stamps? 😢

[@justmehere6094]

Second. And I was waiting for a vid just like this. THOUGH I really wanted to see a comparizon to the IR-X's Channel 1, as that is a Plexi like preamp, compared to the IR-D's JTM45 ish circuit.

[@steveo041]

We should have touched on that! Ch1 on the IR-X has way less gain than the IR-D and it’s voiced more like the IR-X. If we dialed the gain back on the IR-D that would have been an interesting comparison

[@justmehere6094]

@@steveo041 I think so too.

[@slugtoenail]

Not sure what y'all are talking about. I'm reasonably certain that channels 1 and 2 are identical. Are you just referring to rolling down the gain in general?

[@steveo041]

@@slugtoenail Correct. The IR-D can do classic tones with the internal boost off and the gain rolled back. It’s a little different than the low gain channel of the IR-X

[@justmehere6094]

@@slugtoenail Yes, the IR-D's channels are the same, both the Dirty Shirley preamp. But the IR-X (first preamp pedal, from last year) has 2 differeny channels, channel 1 being a plexi preamp (Friedman version) and Channel 2 beig a BE-100 preamp. So talking about a lower gain comparison of either IR-D channe, which is a Dirty Shirly, that Dave Friedman based off of the JTM45 ampl to Channel 1 of the IR-X (based off of a Plexi ). Video Aboce compared the IR-Ds Dirty Shirly channel(s) to the IR-X's BE100 channel

[@ensignofindustry1033]

I had to double check my playback speed a few times 😂

[@shaddow825]

How does the ir-x compare to the jel20? I have the ir-x and am fighting GAS for the jel.

[@Brent-Nelson68]

The IR-X sounds Marshally to me.

[@therileyobrien]

🤨...just the IR-X?

[@michaelbryant6749]

for my tastes (hi gain) the X takes the cake here by a good margin...

[@therileyobrien]

Considering it's the dirty shirley/twin sister vs the BE100 I would hope so.

[@michaelbryant6749]

@@therileyobrien Thanks for the update!

[@mikec8815]

Need an IR JEL

[@surefire1333]

One more question I play mostly with the amp and pedals at this point. What would be the best way to hook this up directly to my amp period in front or run it in the effect loop?

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Effects loop return

[@surefire1333]

@@michaelmitchell5909 Thank you man !!

[@surefire1333]

@@michaelmitchell5909 This is a silly question, but I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to some things that seems so simple for others. I run one cable from the return on the amp to what output or input on the pedal? Also, will I be able to use other effects pedals through the loop? Thank you again. I appreciate you guys.

[@michaelmitchell5909]

​@surefire1333 if your using this pedal as a preamp, the output on the pedal goes to the return on the effects loop on the amp.

[@surefire1333]

@@michaelmitchell5909 Thk you so very much !! Love your playing bro 😎 👍❤️🎸🎸

[@mattvdh]

there's something scratchy/quacky going on, is it the kiesel? what's that stringy sort of sound.

[@therileyobrien]

Did you post this before or after the 10 minute mark? They turned up the thump/resonance at that point and it seemed to mellow out a bit.

[@steveo041]

If you figure out what causes that let me know! Something about the way they are made. Leaning towards Music Man guitars in the future

[@georgewarner3507]

You guys make this pedal sound like poop.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

We did it just for you

[@harveyhernandez6619]

Lol tone wood only matters acoustically

[@therileyobrien]

Acoustic: of or relating to the sense or organs of hearing, to sound, or to the science of sounds. I'd have to agree.

[@Seiriism]

First!

[@surefire1333]
