[@OriginEffectsUK]

Thanks for checking out the IRs for us!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Any time! Congrats on the IRs. They sound great.

[@kmaximo4]

Please, never stop doing videos, love your wise points of view, I even bought a modeler because of you, bought the ACS-1, thanks for all the great advices!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

I’ll keep making them if you guys keep watching them!

@@SuperdangerStudiosWell I came for the ir’s and I’m going to stay for the super tasteful playing. Happy to have found your channel. Thank you.

[@slideguitarist]

Terrific demo, with really clear explanations. Just minutes ago I noticed that Origin Effects released these IRs. I was in process of finding one of your recent YTs so I could post a comment asking if you'll be doing a demo, and here you are!! This package of free IRs covers a very broad range of tones, as you have ably demonstrated. Nice work, as always, Alex.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thanks again, Slide! Glad I supplied the video for the inquiry. The IRs sound good in lots of different applications and the fact they are free is crazy. Hope you're doing well!

[@michaelcurtin508]

This video is great. Really well structured, with fantastic sounds and playing.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Glad you liked it!

[@YannickRiveti]

Wow, Alex nice chugging on the RD Compact Hot Rod! Haven’t seen that before. Thanks for posting this and definitely going to try these w/ my Magma57.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Haha I had to get my riff on ya know? Used to be in some heavier bands when I was a younger man. Still miss that kind of music haha. Cheers Dude! Enjoy the IRs!

[@jackgriffithsmusic]

Ace tones! Killer work man.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Insanely kind to say, Jack. Hope you been well. You sounded fantastic in those UA demos btw.

[@Fret-knot]

Thanks for the info and the IR links. 👍🏻 to Origin effects for giving these out. They sound the biz.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thanks for watching! Can’t believe they are just giving them away!

[@lowercase3635]

So excited to get these origin effects IRs.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

They're killer.

[@aperezdeal]

That G&L sounds a treat.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

its a blast for sure!

[@spaceboycode]

Awesome review, great explanation and the best guitar tone on KZbin! I’m testing the Brown Deluxe Bright with 160, in a fender simulation ... This very nice!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words. Love to mix it up with these IRs!

[@neutron_audio]

Great Vid!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thank you 🙏

[@Sean_Plays_Guitar]

Thanks for sharing bro! Always great to have more IRs on tap! Nice G&L btw! What series is that one? Love the wine red.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thanks, Sean! These are great IRs. The G&L was a legacy special but I changed out the MFD humbuckers to the Lollar Blondes and love it.

[@dariohenriquez7773]

everything from origin looks and sounds awesome sadly in my country they cost my monthly pay. great demo great sounds great playing i like this channel a lot

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thanks so much for watching. Their stuff is premium for sure but one day I bet a used one will show up that you can snag! They are really durable so they will hold up over time.

[@jeanlucfegeant2589]

Can I put those IR's into the irridium ? Can you give us your favorites combinations ? Thanks for your wonderful tutorials !!

[@jeanlucfegeant2589]

I was on vacations when I saw your video , so I'm answering to myself : yes , we can put the IR's in the iridium ! wahoo !

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Yeah!

[@J1JL]

Nice demo as always. I use the revival drive and i want to pair it with a (small) power amp into a real cab or FRFR. But also go DI to FOH. Any suggestions? I only used to play tube amps but want to go in a new (portable) direction, like vacuum tubes, preferable all analog and not digital. As long as it sounds good, the revivaldrive does a lot making it feel like an tubeamp

[@SuperdangerStudios]

The headrush frfr cabs have a mix out that you could use. They sound great. If you have a cab you already like the fryette ps2a is an amazing load box and power amp that has so many functions. It’s expensive but top of the line. Or you could get a Seymour Duncan power station and get a splitter box or DI to send to FOH.

[@J1JL]

Thanks! 🙏

[@cjbuk74]

Sounds great, any opinion on whether the Revival Drive, IR loader & room reverb would cut the mustard in a live setting going direct..? Would it be comparable to using a HX stomp or an Iridium for example ? Thanks

[@SuperdangerStudios]

It would absolutely work in that situation. You can even bring a power amp or powered fr cab and run it like an amp too. The revival drive works best as an overdriven amp though so cleans aren’t as easy to dial in. However it feels like a real amp when you are driving it hard.

[@cjbuk74]

@@SuperdangerStudios thanks for the reply & info.. much appreciated !

[@eddieholmes3236]

Sounds great, especially the AC30+Tele How are you hearing it in the room? I can never get it sound good though speakers although it records very well

[@SuperdangerStudios]

I am monitoring it through the yamaha hs7s. I found adding the room reverb as you monitor makes it sound so much better. What do you have on your channel strip?

[@eddieholmes3236]

Thanks! Perhaps I just need better speakers. I'll look into the Yamahas. I use IRs through the IK Multimedia AmpliTube 5 software. I just get a severe buffering issue when I connect to external speakers of any type. That said, I tend to use amps far more than modellers.

[@thomaskingaby4407]

Hi question. What is the order of the pedals? Is the ir pedal always last in line in the actual fysical pedals? So your strymon goes into your Ir pedal, and then to your computer? Ir pedals are new to me 😅.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Yes just think of the IR as where the mic would meet a speaker. In most situations you would have the effects prior to your amp and maybe some modulation and reverbs after the amp but before the speaker. However, if you want a more studio sound, you can put your time based effects (reverb/delay) after the IR as well. I typically use it this way: Compression>drive/boost pedals>Modulation>Strymon Iridium>Strymon Flint>IRs.

[@thomaskingaby4407]

@@SuperdangerStudios thanks for your reply en info! Super :). Greatz from The Netherlands

[@katseazzz]

this revival drive you are using is the regular one or the custom :

[@SuperdangerStudios]

It’s the regular one!

[@clydroid]

Is it compatible with HX stomp?

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Absolutely. Just load in the IRs and youre good to go!

[@clydroid]

@@SuperdangerStudios thanks! Will try it😊

[@tysonkeffer]

Hey, completely off topic. Is there a reason no one is reviewing the new Gretsch Princess Jack Antonoff guitar? Been waiting for anyone to do a video so I can hear some tones but so far no one!!!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

I really wanna try that guitar! I’m not sure if it’s available yet. I’ll ask my guys if I can borrow one.

[@tysonkeffer]

@SuperdangerStudios You would be my hero if you did! Also excited for the new video tomorrow!

[@sbenson76]

What are the benefits to having a real amp --> Suhr reactor --> IR versus let's say just a digital amp modeler --> IR? Can you feel a difference between a real amp in IR vs digital amp into an IR? Does it make sense to buy a real amp just to plug it into an IR?

[@SuperdangerStudios]

I think if you already have an amp, its a great way to be able to turn it up without shaking the windows. The feel is somewhat comparable, but the biggest difference is the way amps handle gain and compression. Really hard to model it well. But I happily use either depending on the situation. But if I didn't play out and could only buy 1, id go for a modeler or an origin effects pedal.

[@sbenson76]

@@SuperdangerStudios awesome. Thank you for the advice!

[@robertodotes8109]

How do they compare to York Audio?

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Different flavors for sure. These new OE IRs are impeccable though. I love the magnatone and the modern boutique IRs. Since they are free its a no brainer to own them. That being said, the York Audio Bassman is still one of my favorites.
