STRYMON / IRIDIUM

STRYMON has released a long-awaited amplifier and IR cabinet emulator. Enjoy the ultimate sound wherever you are: in the studio, on stage, or at home.

Nothing beats connecting a world-class tube amp to the perfect speaker cabinet and playing in a room with great acoustics. But Strymon Iridium is here to give you that feeling. Iridium provides you with a tube amp, an unprecedented realistic speaker cabinet impulse response, and a natural room ambience. For the unprecedented cabinet emulation, we have prepared three different IR data for each of the three amps.

In addition, this unit supports different input levels for pedals and lines, as well as mono and stereo to meet a wide range of applications. Whether you are monitoring on stage floor monitors or in-ears, studio monitor speakers, headphones, or any application, you will have wonderful and inspiring monitoring for your play.

Would you like to experience the feeling of a realistic tube amp, an unprecedented level of IR cabinet, and room ambience?

-Three types of amp modeling have been completed that capture even subtle characteristics and unique tones through our unique Matrix Modeling.
Round Amp - based on* a Fender Deluxe Reverb
Chime Amp - based on* the Brilliant channel of a Vox AC30
Punch Amp - based on* a Marshall Plexi (Super Lead model number 1959)
・Equipped with 9 types (3 types per amp) of 24bit / 96kHz 500ms stereo IR.
・Equipped with simple Drive, Level, Bass, Middle, and Treble control method that responds to the amp style.
・Equipped with high-performance JFET discrete analog input stage. Up to 22dB of analog gain
・Stereo input (requires TRS adapter cable) / stereo output
・Selectable input signal level of instrument or line
・Discrete transistor headphone amplifier (1/8 inch output)
・Continuous remote control of control knobs and pre/post volume (log curve) are possible by expression pedal.
・Load and edit IR cabinets via USB using Strymon Impulse Manager software.
・In addition to the FAV switch on the unit, you can use Strymon MultiSwitch Plus (3 preset switching) and MiniSwitch (remote switching).
・Full MIDI access (parameter control: CC, 300 presets: PC) is available from the EXP jack. This requires a Strymon MIDI EXP cable or MIDI to TRS.
・Ultra-low noise, high-quality 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters ensure uncompromising audio performance.
・Super high-performance SHARC DSP & ARM coprocessor
・32-bit floating-point processing
・Lightweight, rugged aluminum chassis

■Three iconic amps
Our Matrix Modeling? Process accurately reproduces the unique original tone of each built-in amp. This modeling process has been realized by mathematically analyzing the operation of the entire circuit of the most representative tube amplifiers that have decorated the history of music over the past 50 years. This realistically brings back the inspiration you felt when you actually played those amplifiers. In addition, it is now possible to achieve the sound of hot-rodding those amplifiers (high-gain modification) and raising the gain range to a high level.

■ 9 types of stereo IR cabinets
The speaker cabinet emulations in Iridium provide realism that no one has ever heard before. This unit uses the best stereo 24-bit 96kHz & 500msec impulse response data. Until now, this level of resolution was only available in some studio recording software (convolution). Iridium has made it possible to put the highest quality IR realism on a pedalboard.

■ Adjustable room ambience
Iridium's room emulation uses a hybrid system that uses a 256msec impulse response and a reverberant tail supplemented by Strymon's reverb algorithm. This allows you to perfectly reproduce room ambience of different sizes, and even reproduce the breathiness and natural reflections of the sound emitted by the speakers.
