With your purchase you will receive two Hosa metal patch cables (IRG-100.5) and a Hosa 10 foot Pro guitar cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Tube Preamp, IR Technology, Compact Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Friedman IR-X dual-channel tube preamp is an entire Friedman rig in a compact pedalboard-friendly package. Powered by two high-voltage 12AX7 preamp tubes, each channel delivers the harmonic richness and touch response of Dave Friedman's finest designs. DSP IR cabinet\/power amp simulation sends a studio-quality mic'd-up tone to your DAW or Front-of-House. The IR-X provides easy-to-use controls without complex menus and 100-page manuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Tube Friedman Tone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIR-X isn't simulating a Friedman tube preamp. It is one. While many available preamp pedals utilize tubes to 'warm up' their digital or solid-state circuit, two glowing hot 12AX7 preamp tubes, running at the proper high voltage, are this pedal's beating heart. A genuine preamp in every way, IR-X delivers all the tone, response, gain characteristics, and harmonic complexity you expect from a Friedman design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 Independent Channels with Boost\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIR-X boasts two fully independent foot-switchable channels. Like the famed Friedman flagship amps, channel one takes your tone from bluesy, British-voiced cleans to a muscular Plexi-style roar. Engage channel two for the Friedman signature higher-gain voice and all the percussive punch, note clarity and singing sustain that comes with it. Both channels feature their own independent and highly tweakable Boost circuits. This essentially gives you four channels, accessible with the tap of your toe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpulse Response Cabinet and Power Amp Simulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll great tube amps need a great speaker cabinet, and whether sending your signal straight to the board or silently playing through the onboard headphone output, IR-X gives you a selection of Dave Friedman's favorite IRs. Select the IR per channel using the 3-way mini toggle switches or load your own quickly and easily via IR-X's editing software. You can even disengage the onboard IRs entirely to use IR-X's tube preamp with another IR loader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12 Friedman Cabinet IRs Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe IR-X software includes 12 free Friedman IRs to choose from. The first three are factory set to the hardware: the 6402 57 121 (Dave Friedman's favorite bare-wood 4x12 with 6402 Greenback speakers, captured with an SM57 and R-121); the V30 (stock Friedman 4x12 closed-back with four Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, captured with an SM57 and API preamp); and the 1980B V30 GB (a rare 80's UK 4x12 \"Bass\" cabinet with Greenback up top and V30's in the bottom for a huge tone).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Rig Integration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe IR-X's transparent effects loop allows you to easily integrate your favorite effects with everything from the most straightforward setups to the most complex digitally controlled rigs. Run your favorite dirt pedals and filters directly into the IR-X's input as you would with any amplifier, and place your favorite time-based effects in the effects loop. Use it as a standalone preamp into a live cabinet, or as an IR loader by plugging your preferred preamp into its effects loop return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpanded MIDI Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIR-X is MIDI-capable. Whether pulling up presets with a pedalboard controller or switching channels with the laptop running your entire show, IR-X is ready for the job. Its included Friedman IR-X Editor software lets you tweak each channel's power amp simulation via the Thump and Presence controls, load your favorite IRs, activate the Boost Lock feature, select loop ON\/OFF and save it all to 128 MIDI presets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-tube HIGH-VOLTAGE preamp \/ DI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x 12AX7 preamp tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo independent channels + boost (Channel 1 clean to gritty, Channel 2 high gain drive)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIDI programmable: channel select \/ boost, IR select, Thump and Presence, effects loop ON\/OFF, Boost Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower amp simulation with software editable Presence and Thump (per channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow latency Impulse Response cabinet simulation (bypassable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree position CAB\/IR select switch per channel (programmable via software)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 free Friedman IRs or load your own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoost Volume and Gain controls (per channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume and Gain controls (per channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull EQ consisting of Bass, Middle, Treble (per channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-way Bright switch (Channel 1), 2-way Tight switch (Channel 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree multi-function foot switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-transparent series FX loop (bypassable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRS balanced output and headphone output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIDI 5 pin standard connector and USB MIDI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB software editor powered by SYNERGY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited 3-year Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal 12V Power Supply and 6 foot USB2.0 cable included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (including knobs): 5.5\" D x 6.5\" W x 2.3\" H; Weight: 1.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Friedman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47531518853298,"sku":"ACFRIIRXH0","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0084\/0659\/7712\/files\/k8os9qhhkzf1hi1ejawk.jpg?v=1779961581","url":"https:\/\/www.citymusicannex.com\/products\/new-friedman-ir-x-dual-channel-tube-preamp-guitar-effects-pedal","provider":"City Music Annex","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
