@joaoelbert_ 4 года назад

great sounds! it sounds so similar to the tones that david hislop gets. may i ask you what IR file specifically were you using for this demo? i have the DH greenback pack but i found it a little too muffled.. maybe i'm doing something wrong (i have an HX stomp for amps). it sounded more open with a crisp pick attack in your case. amazing tone, regardless. cheers from brazil

@jamesransom7711 4 года назад

Hey man! You’re hearing the G12 545 (3) on the right, and the G10 545 (3) on the left. A lot of my sound has to do with compression too. I’m also using a scratchy pick so that affects it as well.

@@jamesransom7711 yeah i apologize for asking, you said it on the video, i just didn't pay attention. thank you, regardless! keep doing you

@erikhartley2494 3 года назад

Hislop’s IR’s can be a bit dark and midrangey. They’re EQ and processed to sit in a mix much like the guys at Bethel do, with their low output and bright humbuckers. If you’re having trouble cutting through, switch to the mic position 2 or even 1 and that should help tremendously.

@Rhacut 4 года назад

Hey James! I recently bought myself an Iridium- God-send of a pedal- but I do need some help. I want to have the Iridum be used to replace the amps that we run. To essentially go DI to FOH. Now, I’ve been hearing that placing the wet effects before the Iridium will make it muddy and ugly. I’m not sure what to do as I have no access to an Effects Loop. I’d love some help :)

@jamesransom7711 4 года назад

Rhowin Dacut hey man! I personally run my Iridium after my entire board, so all the effects are hitting the front. That’s going to feel and sound the most like a real amp with everything in front. The muddiness is likely coming from the stock IR’s (which aren’t great) and how the effects are dialed in. No need for an effects loop though!

@Rhacut 4 года назад

James Ransom Ah God Bless, thank you for the response! Do you happen to know of good IR’s I may load on?

@David.Bulzan 3 года назад

@@Rhacut david hislop's are amazing

@erikhartley2494 3 года назад

I’ve run wet fx post and pre. The biggest change you’ll have to make is simply a lower mix level. Also make sure you’re using a TRS Y stereo cable and set the Iridium input switch to stereo. It’s definitely a warmer and dirtier sound that takes getting used to.

@derekshaw5212 3 года назад

Hey. I heard your pedalboard got updated. You should do a video update sometime about the pedals you moved around.

@DanielDuyCao 4 года назад

Nice video man! Have you tried putting the iridium before wet effects? I've seen mixed opinions on signal chain for the Iridium. Thanks!

@jamesransom7711 4 года назад

Daniel Cao hey Daniel! I’ve seen people do that and I’m sure they get great results, it’s just not my thing! When I play at church (when things are normal) I run my left out to an actual amp, and use a complimentary amp on the iridium as my “right” amp. Would make it difficult to wire everything up to have the iridium first, and then wet effects. Not my thing but I know some people dig it!

@DanielDuyCao 4 года назад

@@jamesransom7711 thanks James! I was to see if there were any clarity differences and if the iridium takes wet effects similarly to real amps. I guess I'll have to get one to find out myself! haha

@jamesransom7711 4 года назад

Daniel Cao haha go for it man! I just like the sound of everything hitting the amps. Putting wet effects after the amps is more of a producer trick.

@DanielDuyCao 4 года назад

@@jamesransom7711 hey James! Ended up getting an iridium lol. I've been playing around David Hislop IR's. Are you running your iridium stereo? And if so have you had any success using single mics for stereo? I find that the blended mics sound more balanced. Thanks

@jamesransom7711 4 года назад

Daniel Cao yep running stereo! I love the single mic IR’s, it’s the sound I’m used to the most. The mic’s you’re hearing on the big worship records are single mics (like a 57 or 545). Blended mics are cool but I love how focused the singles are. Might have to mess around with the blends though!

@eliasnolin1748 2 года назад

Does having an always on tuner cause tone suck, and what is the best way to go about using an always on tuner? Tuner out of vp? Buffer pedal with Tuner Out? Or just running tuner first in chain and clicking it on and off to just tune?

@jamesransom7711 2 года назад

Hey man! It’ll cause the most tone suck when running it out of a passive VP like the Ernie ball. Mine is running out of the tuner out from my interfacer so it’s not even in the signal chain. Best way to do it without that is to get one with a “bypass” option, that way it can stay on and it’s not a affecting the tone.

@eliasnolin1748 2 года назад

@@jamesransom7711 Thanks so much for your reply! So like a boss tu-3 would work? That's the only tuner I found with a bypass option. Also if I have like 9 pedals in my chain would you recommend some sort of buffer in the chain at the beginning?

@davidperezsosa281 4 года назад

Can you use two different amp sim at the same time?

@jamesransom7711 4 года назад

You can only use one of the amp sims at a time. You can have independent L/R IR's though, so that helps. I usually run a Fender style speaker and a Greenback to sort of simulate the Fender/Vox thing. Obviously doesn't quite get that whole effect, but still sounds really cool.

@jesseriley7760 4 года назад

Question. I have an Iridium and I cannot make it work the way that I think it should. If I plug directly into the iridium only it plays as it should. If I try putting pedals in front of it (example, guitar>tuner>distortion>overdrive>reverb>iridium>headphones>speaker) I don’t get anything out of it. If I try just one effect before, nothing. If I try placing the effect after the Iridium (which wouldn’t make sense to me anyway) I still get nothing. Any thoughts? I even sent the pedal back to Strymon who “fixed” it but it still does the exact thing. Can you give me a super basic breakdown of which cables you’re putting in where? It’s got to be something simple that I’m missing.🤬

@jamesransom7711 4 года назад

Couple things to try and troubleshoot - are you running mono or stereo? How are you monitoring? If you are using speakers/monitors and not headphones, I'd recommend using the main L/R outs.

@jesseriley7760 4 года назад

Thanks for the quick reply! I am running mono and playing with headphones.

@jamesransom7711 4 года назад

@@jesseriley7760 Okay cool. Make sure the little switch at the back is set to mono. Headphone outs should still work. If you're running into a DAW, use the left out.

Thanks Robert! I'm using the Iridium as if it was my amp, which the preamp doesn't do. And yes Benson called it a preamp, but I tend to just use it as a more midrange-y drive!

@jamesransom7711 3 года назад

I mean if you boil it down into the category of “clean-ish tone, delay and reverb”, then sure these types of sounds are gonna be broadly similar. There’s so much nuance to each individual player and tone though, because everyone hears it slightly differently. People can also just enjoy what they want to!
