Friedman IR-X

[JOLLY]

The last thing in the world that I need is any new amp type device, but this sure has piqued my interest. I think it sounds great, and I think the price point is right about where it should be. $500 seem reasonable to me.

I saw it too and am definitely intrigued, but I don’t have an extra $500 to spend on it.

I hear ya. That's why I have Sweetwater and Musicians Friend cards... so I can get stuff on 3-4 years 0% interest if I decide to get anything .... lol. I'm still debating on the Friedman. My Kemper does everything that I could ever want, but you know how it is.

I ended up getting one. It was delivered two days ago, but I haven't had a chance yet to give it a whirl. I will later on today.

That’s amazing. Total GAS!

Curious how you’re liking it. Looks like a great unit

Not liking it at all....lol. I ran it straight into my audio interface just like I do my Kemper, Fractal, and Eleven Rack. I thought it sounded like crap. I didn't hear anything that I liked, and it didn't sound anything like those videos that I posted or that I've watched. I can't say as I'm a fan of it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't see how. Mind you, I didn't use the software or whatever you download, but I don't see how that could affect the sound that much. I could hear a difference when I switched the IRs, so it's not like they weren't working.

Damn that’s too bad. Might be worth putting it into a head to see if it comes alive that way.
