Awesome man, thanks for going through all this, I appreciate it!

[@cornelushu]

Thanks for video. Very nice playing.

[@orryfishburne5326]

I like your tone. Most of the videos i listen too on the Iridium make me not want to even consider it as an option to buy, but i like how your making it sound

[@ArsalanPareyal]

Beautiful tone!!!❤

[@benjaminck6768]

NuX Atlantic is honestly such a good pedal. It was my first pedal. I’ve moved on to an empress echosystem and SA Ventris since and despite being much more powerful, the can’t compete with the simplicity of the Atlantic. I spend forever getting the two to work together but never a problem with the Atlantic. Awesome plug and play time space pedal for the money. I fried mine with the wrong adapter so.

[@sciamanmusic]

Nice playing !

[@michalmikolajmaslowski3994]

Excellent tone, John, thank you!

[@TheShakour]

great tone

[@didifischervideo]

00:07:18 "What a difference a day made" - what a wonderfull sound, very tastefull iridium settings and even with a "cheap" delay & reverb : )))

[@es5679]

wowowow this was the exact video I was looking for. Thank you so much, this is my tone

[@Drewriders]

yeah. some one pointed me to this modeler. That sound is exactly what i am looking for.

[@patnq]

Thanks Johnathan, really helpful as most videos are focused on distorted sounds. I was thinking of plugging one of these in to an AER Compact 60 - what do you think?

[@Conrads_music]

I love your intro lol

[@tomasmarques1851]

Thanks for the nice tips! Lovely tone :) I’ll try it thus evening with my Iridium and my PRS. First time I noticed you using the NUX Atlantic, how do you find it?

[@andreastroster285]

Amazing video. Thanks! I still have a - possibly dumb - question. In the video, you still did have to amplify the Iridium output somehow, right? Maybe by feeding it into a DI box and a digital interface for recording? But how would you use it in a live situation in a small club without a PA? Would you just plug its output into your regular guitar amp? Or would you have to use some active PA box like e.g. a Yamaha DXR12 MKII to amplify it? I apologize for my technical ignorance and I would appreciate any helpful comment.

[@mg9009]

So what is the Compadre gonna do for Jazz vs the Iridium? the Flint for Jazz? In addition to reverb and delay...should I use anything else?

[@eggmarket]

What do you think about the ShiftLine Twin as a jazz recording platform? Your other video comparing the two almost has me convinced that I would prefer the Twin...

[@jasminr.671]

Thanks John it sounds really great! What is the name of the guitar you are playing?

[@jamesmmusic5806]

Wow.. instant sub

[@jamesmmusic5806]

What guitar is that??

[@jackloganbill605]

Am I the only one that is super impressed that this recorded direct, no amp, no actual speaker?

[@nagol6801]

The whole thing was great but I actually like the part where u played the lead pickup

[@NicolaDAlicandro]

I like Iridium for jazz tone, it's really impressive! Nice play, nice tone but... sorry, i don't agree with you on short time delay for jazz tone as general rule, i think "time is time" and it needs to set according to the mood (and bpm of course) of the song :)

[@almudashir5071]

😍

[@jimsoloway]

I'm really enjoying the sounds you're getting out of the Iridium. I'm shopping for a new rig now and this is near the top of my list. Are you running through a cab of some sort with it when you're not recording?

[@johnnathancordy]

Hey Jim! I have to say I've not really had the opportunity to gig with it really so it's just been into my studio monitors for most of the time!

[@jimsoloway]

@@johnnathancordy Sounds really good. (The playing too).

[@dreamcity7514]

what reverb do you use? I have been thinking about the Dream UA, but I'm not sure if a spring very would be good for jazz.

[@SNAPAVELI]

Nice! What pickup is in the neck?

[@christianpescado4826]

Where did you get that awesome guitar strap?!

[@notemie]

Really nice and I like your laid back style and how you communicate. How did you record? Direct to DAW?

[@johnnathancordy]

Yessir direct!

[@maz109]

@@johnnathancordy Hey, for these Iridium videos, do you do any editing in your DAW (eg, EQ, compression, etc)? I'm loving these sounds but not very knowledgeable about recording so I need something super simple! Thanks!

[@jct6403]

Another excellent video! Could you talk a bit about your touch: it’s spot on. Even when you dig in on the heavier tunes you do it’s never forced. Pick pressure, left hand pressure etc? Thanks as always!

[@seanandben]

Hi John. At the risk of being a nuisance to you, which I certainly don't wish to be, but any chance you could post the chords with names - (as in what key you're using them in) - that you're using at the beginning of the video. Very nice sounding voicings throughout the whole video, and a great insightful video and lovely tone. It would make a very good chord video, aside from the lovely guitar tone. :-)

[@officerminiwheats]

Second this. Beautiful voicings and it would be amazing if you showed the chords for those who are new to jazz playing.

[@Cglove05]

check his patreon! he tends to provide alot of chords and tabs there as well!

[@seanandben]

What a difference a day made - 24 little hours!

[@fjuniormusic]

You prefer Iridium or Dream 65 for jazz style?

[@dreamcity7514]

so for the delay, should it be like a slapback?

[@didifischervideo]

what a difference a day made? : ) 00:08:00

Hey! could you send a link to your pedal stand? thanks!

What kind of guitar is that

[@giovanniinnavoig3671]

hello, why is the red led flashing on the iridium?

[@johnnathancordy]

It's probably just the camera chap!

[@giovanniinnavoig3671]

@@johnnathancordy congratulations for the sound. one last question: what pick do you use? hard or medium, etc.?
