Strymon Iridium Amp & IR Cab Pedal

Leave Your Amp At Home.
Nothing reveals the true nature of your guitar and your playing like a world-class tube amp driving a perfectly matched speaker cabinet in a great sounding room. Now there is a pedal that truly delivers that sound and feel, with simple controls for effortlessly dialling in the perfect amp tone when going direct. Discover inspiring tube amp responsiveness, unprecedented impulse response speaker cabinet realism, and controllable natural sounding room ambience.

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.

Three Iconic Amplifiers
Our Matrix Modeling™ process captures all the subtleties and unique tonal qualities of each amplifier. We’ve taken three iconic tube amps with distinct characters and mathematically modeled every aspect of their circuitry with absolute precision to deliver the response, feel, and inspiring experience of playing through the original amps at their best. Taking the process a step further, we’ve hot-rodded each amp to provide an extended range of tonal options beyond what was available from the original designs.

Nine Stereo IR Cabinets
Iridium’s speaker cabinets offer a level of realism and responsiveness unprecedented in outboard effects. Iridium delivers full stereo 24bit 96kHz resolution for the entire 500 milliseconds of its speaker cabinet impulse responses. Until now, IRs of this resolution have only been available for use within studio recording software. Iridium’s breakthrough technology means you can use the very best impulse responses available, bringing maximum realism to your pedalboard.

Adjustable Room Ambience
Iridium’s hybrid room reverb combines a 256-millisecond stereo impulse response with Strymon’s reverb tank algorithm for extended decay. This combination places your amp and cab in a natural sounding room (small, medium, or large), creating a space for your amp to open up and breathe.

Nine Stunningly Realistic Cabs.
Iridium comes pre-loaded with a carefully curated collection of premium cabinet IRs from OwnHammer, Celestion, cabIR and Valhallir. You can also load your own IRs using Strymon Impulse Manager software.

For guitarists and tone enthusiasts seeking the perfect blend of authentic amplifier sounds and versatile cabinet simulations in a compact pedal format, the Strymon Iridium Amp & IR Cab Pedal offers an unparalleled solution. This pedal is designed to deliver studio-quality amp emulations and impulse response cab simulations that eliminate the need for bulky gear or complicated setups. Whether you’re recording at home, performing live, or experimenting with your tone, the Iridium provides professional-level sound shaping in a pedal that fits easily on your board.

The core advantage of the Iridium lies in its precise digital modeling technology, which combines three meticulously crafted amp models with nine pre-loaded impulse response (IR) cabinets. What this means for you is a vast palette of authentic tones that capture the nuances of classic and modern amplifiers without the physical limitations or maintenance issues of traditional amps. The three amp models cover a range of sonic characters, from clean and shimmering to gritty and overdriven, allowing you to dial in the exact sound you want for any musical context.

In addition to the amp simulations, the nine pre-loaded IR cabinets provide detailed speaker responses that add depth and realism to your tone. Since cabinets profoundly affect how your sound projects and interacts with the environment, having these options means you can switch between different speaker types and microphone placements instantly. This flexibility is invaluable for both live settings and studio sessions where tone consistency and adaptability are critical.

The pedal’s reverb and ambience settings further enhance the sound by adding natural space and dimension, which can be tailored to suit your style or venue. This feature eliminates the need for additional pedals or outboard gear, simplifying your signal chain without compromising sonic quality. The Iridium’s digital design runs on a 9 V DC power supply, included with the unit, and consumes up to 500 mA, ensuring reliable operation even during extended sessions.

Connectivity options on the Iridium are thoughtfully designed to integrate smoothly with your rig. It includes one 1/4″ TRS input that supports both mono and stereo signals (with an adapter), two 1/4″ outputs for left/mono and right channels, and a dedicated 1/8″ headphone output for silent practice or monitoring. Additionally, there is a 1/4″ TRS port for expression pedals or MIDI control, allowing you to switch presets or tweak parameters on the fly. USB Mini-B connectivity enables you to load custom IR files, giving you endless possibilities to tailor your sound beyond the pre-loaded options.

Compact dimensions of 4 inches wide, 4.5 inches deep, and 1.75 inches tall make the Iridium easy to fit on any pedalboard without crowding your setup. Despite its small footprint, it offers buffered bypass switching to maintain signal integrity when the pedal is off, preserving the quality of your guitar tone throughout your effects chain.

In practical terms, the Strymon Iridium is ideal for guitarists who want to bypass traditional amplifier hassles and achieve studio-grade tones anywhere. It excels in home recording environments by providing amp and cab sounds that translate well on headphones and monitors. Live performers benefit from its straightforward setup and tonal consistency, while tone hunters can explore an expansive range of sounds with the ability to import custom IRs. Priced at ₹41,400 during the sale, this pedal delivers exceptional value for a premium amp emulation and IR cab solution.

With the Strymon Iridium Amp & IR Cab Pedal, you gain a versatile, meticulously engineered tool that elevates your guitar tone with ease and precision. It redefines what a pedal can do, offering the freedom to shape your sound exactly how you want it, wherever you play. Backed by Strymon’s reputation for quality and innovation, this pedal is a confident investment in your musical expression and sonic excellence.
