AMAZING Direct Tones With The STRYMON IRIDIUM! Tips, Walkthrough & Review! 

ok ... dick comment that'll save you 30 mins - the pedal's got 2 toggles and 6 knobs. Fiddle around with them and find tones you like.

Great demo mate! I’ve been using an iridium for a year or so now for recording and gigs, and I’ve learned a lot more from your video that I can’t wait to try out. The use of the room sound you demonstrated is a revelation in itself!

Best Iridium video I've watched in the past few nights and I think I've watched about twenty. Exactly how I'm planning on using it. Subscribed.

Great video! I have an iridium and love it but this was a big help - I’ll be able to get a lot more out of it now. Thanks for putting this out there!

Awesome demo. Just got an iridium and this is so helpful. Am glad to hear all three amps have a pretty good clean tone sound as well. I normally play a Vox AC15 but was surprised how much I liked the tone of that Marshall emulation.

Thanks Ben, I have my Iridium for 2 years now and I've learned a lot from this.

Thankyou so much for your videos. You’re my favourite guitar person on RU-vid. Love how you explain things. You’re helping me so much!!

This is the best video about the pedal, mate!! Well done, awesome tones!! Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷

Great video, very in depth. Got me feeling like I need one. Thanks!

Nice to see a new video on this. Love my iridium

This was a very good video on the Iridium! 👍

Very informative Video . This is the same approach I like. The fact that the Stock IRs sound really good. Has got me sold. Thank you for posting this very helpful video !

This was very informative and also very entertaining. Thanks! 👍🏻

Hats off my man.. This was very informative, I thought I knew everything about the Iridium already but boy was I wrong.

Really nice demo! Thanks

fantastic guideline for the strymon iridium imo! And great playing btw 👍

Excellent walk through 👍. Helpful.

*Awesome informative video Ben.*

The best Iridium video I've ever seen. Congrats bro.

Very good video about that pedal! One of my personal favourite settings with a Strat is Marshall with drive 2-3 o'clock, mid 13 and treble rather flattened. Great choice to feature a plexi's underrated middriven character for soloing.

Awesome vid!!

awesome! thank u for sharing.

Brilliant video cheers, subbed 🤟🏽

Nice demo Ben. Interesting in your Round setting you went for the Vibrolux (I reckon all three cab settings have a distinct sound and all have their uses). I really like the sound of a strat through that Vibrolux cab with 4th pick up setting, but - you can get a tiny bit of bassiness. I could see you rolling that bass off a tiny bit, and tweaking the treble up, and thought: yeh, that's about right!

23:15 has some very nice playing, that's beautiful man.

Awesome video mate - really helpful to see your process and how you go about dialing in some great tones! If I am understanding your signal chain correctly - its basically Iridium / Timeline / Big Sky / Audio Interface / DAW?

Great video, thanks! Is your Iridium set on the default instrument level or is it running at line level?

Thank for great informative video . What kind of the guitar in this video , sound so good even dry signal.

Great Video! You gave me some ideas to play around with my Iridium! You should check out York Audio IRs, as well! In your signal chain, do you run your delay/reverb into a DI box /something, or do you go directly into your interface? Interested to know how you record with your affects after!

im a pro musician, and I think this is extremly helpful, just ordered one of these bad boys

what a great video. Great simple and good pedal. How does it sound through a p.a. speaker ?

Hi Ben I wonder if I could ask for some advice. I have the following pedals on my board that I have just purchased to use with my ultra Strat and tele. I have the Bass 9 pedal for bass when I loop, then to the Iridium that goes into a cali 76 Stacked edition then into the Universal Audio Starlight and then the Universal Audio Dreams. I also have a blue sky but at this stage have not fitted it as I have run out of space. I will follow your advise on the Iridium as above for my clean tone, but I wanted to know if the order I have everything in is ok and also do I need a dedicated reverb and drive pedal. Sorry for all the questions but I am primarily an acoustic player that does a load of looping but now wanted to build an Electric board, but sadly have no idea on the flow of the pedals and what should come first etc and also if I need the xtra pedals. Thanks for a great video.

Awesome video. Which pickup position did you use on the strat ?

Hello! Considering only effects with midi door, what other pedal do you recommend to accompany the iridium. Without going to hx stomp which seems exaggerated to me. I see plethora x3 well! What do you think?

I also use my Iridium completely stock, too. Curious if you've decided to try the new NUX Amp Academy to compare to the Iridium.

Great video. Definitely interested in buying one of these. I don’t want to play with earphones and don’t record music. I play at home to music out a loud. I researched then my only option for this is to play the iridium through an FRFR speaker. Will the tones be compromised at all from playing through a speaker as opposed to hearing it through your recording interface? Would that depend on the speaker I bought. And if so any recommendations on which FR speaker to get with this? Thanks

I have an existential doubt, can I connect it to Seymour Duncan's Powerstage 170? I can tell that it is the "amp" that I use in conjunction with a 2x12 celestion creamback cabinet. I use analog pedals

Thank you. I'm about to sell my Iridium. It might get another chance.

Is this a good competitor for a bedroom amp ( katana, yamaha thr....) using it with a studio monitor such as a rockit or yamaha? I don`t find videos about this, it seems people use it live with PA or at home with a DAW and/or headphones.

So, do you place your Iridium after your distortion pedals but before modulation and reverb pedals.....or......would you place the Iridium right at the end of the chain? Great video thanks.

Hey Ben, could you do a review on a semi hollow telecaster?

Great vid. Even with puns a bit stryhard….

Can the iridium connect direct to an iPad garage band? I currently use a fender mustang usb into the iPad but this sounds a lot nicer.

Hi Ben how do you use the FAV button mate Cheers Trev NZ 3

Do you plug into your interface preamp, or do you plug into the interface line input?

When the drive up you need to compensate the level by lowering it a bit. Is it corrected idea? Both max wiill be bad idea?

Great demo, Ben. Are you, perchance, a fan of the The Tea Party?

What big sky setting for the big ambient sound?

Is it better than Neural DSP plugins, though?

With the vox some spikey annoying frequencies

too much talking.

so much talking, so little playing

No one has ever asked you…be honest! 🤦😂

Too much BS

Just play. No explanations or qualifying dialogue.

you've got to be kidding me sounds nothing like a cab close miked with room, pedal pusher, we are not stupid!
