Iridium Primary Image

Go Direct With Gorgeous Tone.

Iridium gives you three iconic amplifiers, with a total of nine impulse response speaker cabinets that complement the tonality of the amp. Skip the hassle of lugging around or miking amps. Place Iridium on your pedalboard and send gorgeous stereo amplifier tones, stunningly realistic cabs, and lush room ambience direct to a recording interface or PA system. With Iridium, it’s a snap to dial in a direct tone that will truly inspire and sound great whether you are monitoring through in-ears, floor wedges, reference monitors, or studio headphones.

Bass and Middle Controls

Bass adjusts the tone stack of the selected amp type to highlight the low frequencies.

Middle adjusts the tone of the Round and Punch amp types to highlight the middle frequencies. Rolls off high frequencies as the knob is turned up for the Chime amp type.

Treble and Room Controls

Treble adjusts the tone stack of the selected amp type to highlight the high frequencies.

Room controls the level of natural room ambience. Secondary function allows toggling between three room sizes (small, medium, large).

Favorite Switch

Fav recalls a stored Favorite setting. Includes all knob and switch settings. Press and hold until the FAV LED blinks to save a new preset.

Room Ambience Image

An Amp, Through a Cab, in a Room.

Iridium features a hybrid room ambience design that combines 256ms impulse response captures real rooms for realistic early reflections, with an algorithm for extended decay and modulation. This combination places the amp and cab in a natural sounding room, creating a real space for your amp to open up and breathe. In addition to controlling the amount of room ambience, you can also choose a small, medium, or large room.

Amp Research & Development

Delivering the complete experience of playing into an amp through a miked cab in a room is a research and development project that has been years in the making. The amp development began in the tube emulation and cascading gain stage topography created for Riverside, and then majorly leveled up for the intense degree of real-time calculation Matrix Modeling required to create Iridium’s amps. We’re not just talking about the perfectly recreated tone stacks, but also things like the treble bleed on the gain controls, multi-stage power supply sag, and preamp and power amp tube emulation.

Our talented and tireless engineering team covered quite a bit of new ground on the way to recreating these classic amp designs with exact mathematical fidelity, and then expanded the capabilities of each amp in musically useful ways, giving you the full range of original amp sounds, and then some.

Impulse Response Technology

We knew it was theoretically possible to deliver our goal of 24bit 96kHz 500ms impulse responses, but we had to figure out how to do it in practice. This part of the Iridium project turned out to be a five-year journey through adversity.

We started with a smaller proof-of-concept FFT (fast Fourier transform) based IR convolution with shorter-duration mono cab IR's, kept working on it, and eventually tore it all down and rebuilt so we could deliver the 24bit 96kHz 500ms IR cabs that we’d dreamed of for Iridium.

Lifestyle Image 3

Hybrid Room Ambience Design

With these amazing amps and cabs, we wanted to create amazing spaces for them to live and breathe in. When you are playing in a physical room, the first 80 milliseconds or so of early reflections are what really tell your brain what type of space you’re in. The complexity of those myriad early reflections are very difficult to simulate with an algorithm. That’s where impulse response technology is the perfect tool for the task. After a certain duration, however, impulse responses become computationally expensive, and that’s where the algorithm shines: on the long tail.

The algorithmic portions of our room ambience were dialed in for each room, with delay lines tailored to enhance and meld with each specific space and room size. Creating a seamless transition between IR and algorithm was an intensive and artistic process that ultimately resulted in completely natural sounding rooms that feel great to play in and never distract.

SHARC and ARM Co-Processors

Iridium makes the most of the powerful combination of a high-performance 32-bit floating-point SHARC ADSP-21375 processor working together with an ARM co-processor. The SHARC is the perfect choice for handling the plethora of FFT instructions Iridium’s real-time sound processing requires, including adding and subtracting simultaneously.

We’ve created an optimized high-speed communications link between the two processors, and have maximized what the ARM co-processor can do. Each turn of any of Iridium’s knobs sets off a chain of numerous coefficient calculations which we let the ARM co-processor handle, leaving the SHARC free to do its massive computational number crunching full-time at maximum capacity. Besides stellar sound and responsiveness, this combination delivers super fast patch switching. The ARM also provides USB connectivity and allows you to very quickly load and audition impulses with our Impulse Manager software. Iridium is really a new class of device.

Sounds Awesome, Easy to Use

Sounds Awesome, Easy to Use
The Strymon Iridium is the perfect pedal for someone who wants to employ amp modeling in his or her home studio or live gig, but doesn't want to invest the money (and learning curve) for products such as the Kemper or Line 6 amp modeling devices. Easy to get started, easy to dial up great sounds, and works brilliantly as the final stage for pedals, or products such as the Eventide H9 or H9000.

Reviewed in Italy on July 30, 2021
Premetto innanzitutto che sono un fan dei sistemi analogici per chitarra (pedalini singoli più amplificatori valvolari..) ma devo dire che al giorno d'oggi è sempre più complicato poter suonare 'a casa' utilizzando questa strumentazione analogica.. Sul mercato esiste veramente di tutto per ovviare a questo problema ma, per chi come me viene da amplificatori valvolari reali ed è abituato a gestire pochi controlli, risulta fin troppo complesso andare a lavorare con sistemi quali Kemper, Fractal, Helix etc.. Devo dire che ho trovato a mio avviso la 'pace dei sensi' con lo Strymon Iridium. L'iridium ha le dimensioni di un pedale, viene fornito con il proprio alimentatore ed è piuttosto 'leggerino' come peso.. ciononostante è costruito negli USA ed è dotato di una tecnologia all'avanguardia. In pratica il pedale funge da simulatore di amplificatore ed ha controlli veramente semplicissimi (per chi come dicevo viene dall'analogico) e qui viene il bello.. non dobbiamo navigare tra milioni di possibilità ma abbiamo le tre pietre miliari: Fender Deluxe, Vox AC30 e Marshall Plexi. Per ciascuna di queste 3 opzioni di ampli è possibile scegliere tra le migliori simulazioni di cassa disponibili sul mercato degli IR.. e STOP.. il suono è pronto! Le simulazioni sono realistiche e molto gradevoli e in più c'è un controllo di ROOM che letteralmente 'ingrandisce' la stanza in cui suoniamo realizzando una sorta di emulazione di reverbero, molto gradevole. Onestamente credo che sia veramente pratico e semplice riuscire a fare dei suoni convincenti con questo oggetto e la potenza sta nel fatto che lo si può usare sia per esercitarsi in cuffia, sia per ascoltarsi con dei monitor da studio, sia per registrare ottimamente qualcosa a livello casalingo, etc.. Certo costicchia ma credo che per la qualità dei suoni e la quantità degli utilizzi che se ne possono fare è realmente forse il BEST BUY per chi vuole una soluzione digitale che sia realmente 'user friendly'.
