Hey man! I bought my first "good" guitar last July and started slowly acquiring pedals (first a used Strymon Iridium since I didn't have an amp). I've been into music and theory for a while, but I've always just been a noodler when it comes to guitar. Now I have a pretty complete board and I know how to imagine a tone in my head and find my way there. All of this to say that I definitely wouldn't be able to do that today without all of your great videos. Thank you so much! You've been so instrumental (pun intended) in me understanding electric guitar.

Hey Jazz! Great to hear from you again. Congrats on your new guitar. Isn't it a great feeling? What did you end up getting? What is your board setup? Thanks for your support throughout all these videos. Happy shredding!

@@SuperdangerStudios I got a Player Strat first and a G&L Tribute Fallout in January for the higher-gain stuff (amazing guitar for the money). For my board, I'm using an Iridium and a Flint. My OD pedals are a Behringer TS clone going into an EHX Glove (fusion of an OCD and Plexi sound). My distortion is a Pro Co RAT. Then I have a Behringer clone of a Boss CH-1 chorus and a Behringer clone of a Boss analog delay. Really focused on getting bang for my buck! I'm playing in an indie band and we're hoping to start playing live and recording soon. :)

Thanks Gary! The speakers are so important in your tone and often is often thought of after the signal chain is built. This can lead to complications since it's a massive eq curve across the whole spectrum and can limit your options! Have a great weekend!

You have to try the Celestion digital Orange IRs. I don't much care for the heavy drive stuff, but the clean sounds are incredible, and there's one which is very fender twin like and incredible. A friend of mine let me try them out, and I loaded two of them on my iridium. York IRs are great too. They take up the other 7 spots. Iridium is so powerful.

@SuperdangerStudios
@SuperdangerStudios Год назад
Hi Marcelo! Thanks for the kind words and glad it was helpful. Signal chain is strymon iridium > flint > interface and into my DAW (logic). I am then using Bias FX to load the IRs so they come last in the chain.

@SuperdangerStudios
@SuperdangerStudios Год назад
So stoked you dig them! I do both scenarios. If I am live though I have em in the iridium. When I’m doing it in the studio I usually add it post so I can change it later if necessary. I use positive grid Bias FX2 to load the IRs. Sometimes I use two notes wall of sound too. That’s another good program.

Hi, your vids on the Iridium and UAFX stuff are really interesting. I was wondering if you have had to use any EQ in post at times? (not specifically this video) I have found with direct solutions I sometimes have to shave off boomy lows, reduce low mids and some times roll off high end a little. The main issue I consistently find is the lows and low mids being too much.
@JoshuaTeicher
@JoshuaTeicher 3 месяца назад
and turning down bass on the pedal EQ just does what a real amp would do, which is just sound thin and not fix the problem in a musical kind of way
@SuperdangerStudios
@SuperdangerStudios 2 месяца назад
Hi Josh so sorry for the delay. Yes when recording I always turn down lows and low mids on guitar tracks but for when I’m playing live sometimes I’ll turn up the mids almost all the way and turn down the bass a lot. Or I just leave it up to the sound guy haha.
@JoshuaTeicher
@JoshuaTeicher 2 месяца назад
@@SuperdangerStudios thanks very much for your reply! Do you mean on an EQ post the modeller/IR or the EQ on the modeller?
@SuperdangerStudios
@SuperdangerStudios 2 месяца назад
@@JoshuaTeicher I do both depending on the sound. If I am recording I try to get that tones sound good going in so there’s less work in post. But I always will go back and eq the tracks with a couple plugins. When live with my real amps I will always turn down the bass on my amps but when using a modeler and going direct I will usually turn down bass to where it sounds good in my monitors and then let the sound guy do the rest. Hope this helps!

Hey! Great videos in your channel! Love to see people posting long and detailed videos like yours! One question: do you think there's an appreciable difference in playing guitar amp modelers (HX Stomp, Iridium, etc) in 5" studio monitors vs. 7" or 8" studio monitors? I mean, do you think the feeling is different? Like more air being moved, more weight, and so on. Or do you think that 5" covers enough of the guitar frequency response and that's enough? Keep up the good work! Cheers!
@SuperdangerStudios
@SuperdangerStudios Год назад
Hi Vlad, Sorry for the delay. I don't notice any tangible difference between 5 and 7 when monitoring for guitars. The biggest factor would actually be the size of the room, and if it is acoustically treated (bass traps/clouds/diffusers). If they are decent speakers whether 5 or 7" they will give you a great frequency response but there will be no significant difference in quality. Especially if youre just monitoring guitars. Hope this helps!
@vladrapchan5330
@vladrapchan5330 Год назад
@@SuperdangerStudios Don't know if it would change your answer in any way, but I mean more that simply "monitoring" ... I mean as a substitute for a amp or FrFr. I keep thinking if 7" or 8" would give more "weight" to the guitar, or, if given the reduced frequency response range that guitars have, it would be just a waste... Anyway! Thanks for taking the time to answer me! 🇧🇷❤️✊
@SuperdangerStudios
@SuperdangerStudios Год назад
I guess the question is are you just playing at home? And how big is your room. The frequency response of a 5” speaker will not have any noticeable difference for low frequencies in a small room especially if it is treated acoustically. There are tons of studios that just use 5” speakers for tracking and it definitely gets the job done. If you really want low end response the answer would be to get a subwoofer but again, we’re just talking about guitars and the mids are what matter most. The size of the speaker in a studio monitor will not affect frequency response as much as volume and output. But if you have your room calibrated right and your listening angle and listening height is matched correctly you will be getting the full response of the guitar.
@tendingtropic7778
@tendingtropic7778 Год назад
Thanks, what I don't understand is how/why you are changing the IRs on the computer, is that the strymon IR loader software you are using?
@SuperdangerStudios
@SuperdangerStudios Год назад
Hi Tending, I am using Bias FX in my DAW post reverb to change IRs. This way I can access all the hundreds of different IRs I own and audition them quickly. I prefer to have the spring reverb come before the speaker sim as it is closer to the true sound of micing an amp w internal spring reverb.
@deplinenoise
@deplinenoise Год назад
A recording question that popped up for me: how much of this EQ tweaking do you prefer to do in post in the studio? It seems easy to make corrections to the IR EQ curve to make it fit in the mix.
@SuperdangerStudios
@SuperdangerStudios Год назад
In my experience it depends on where I am in the music process. If the song is already written then I’ll just try to cut as much low end as possible and get it to fit in the mix as much as possible. If I am writing w the guitar then I’ll eq it to where my ears are the most pleased! Gotta have the good vibes when you’re writing!

@mikem.1203 Год назад
By using loading a null IR in one of the Iridium's cab slots. It's essentially a neutral IR that doesn't change the tone. I believe he went through this in one of his prior videos. If I recall correctly, he adds the IR in his DAW.
