Friedman IR-X Dual Tube Preamp and DI

The Friedman IR-X is a feature-laden guitar preamp that fits right on your pedalboard. And since it’s loaded with two high-voltage 12AX7 tubes, this stompbox delivers the harmonic richness and touch response you’d expect from a full-sized Friedman amplifier. The IR-X’s two channels cover everything from warm cleans to high-gain overdrive, and each channel includes a boost to push your drive to the next level. Per-channel 3-band EQs and voicing switches are onboard. You can plug the IR-X into a power amp and cab for a genuine air-pushing experience or use the onboard power amp simulation and low-latency IR loader to go direct. The IR-X includes an ultra-transparent effects loop, three multifunction footswitches, MIDI programmability, USB MIDI for DAW integration, and a headphone output. Friedman aficionados searching for the ultimate grab-and-go guitar rig will positively flip for the IR-X. It delivers killer Friedman tone — no amp required.
