Strymon Iridium will arrive today some time. No, it's not a tube amp. Yes, it will fit on my pedalboard. If you're not aware, it's 3 amps in one. A Fender Deluxe Reverb, a Vox AC30, and a Marshall Plexi. Out of 6 guitarists at our church, I'm the last one to go direct. Two are using the Helix, one has a Boss ME-70, one has a Pod XT, and one has a pedalboard and a direct box, not sure what he's using for cab emulation. He is also considering the Iridium. My amp in the side room off stage is taking up space that could be used for something else, so I'll be bringing it home this coming Sunday. I have no doubt that this pedal will work well for me, I've watched enough demos and comparisons to the real thing. Strymon Iridium

I tried it out at band practice today, and it worked very well, direct into the PA. I was concerned that maybe the singer wouldn't like the extra volume through the monitor (the only way I have to hear it in this situation), but she thought it sounded great! I set up a 'favorite' with a Marshall setting with a volume boost, that also worked out great for solos. So far, it's a winner! Sunday morning I'll try it out at church.

Nice one Bill!
“Sounds” like it will work out great for you.

Dangit, Pat! I love the specs on that! How is that speaker that came with it!? Never mind, I'm not sure I really want to know!

Awesome, let us know how it works in a P&W setting! It worked very well today. We had to adjust the "level" so that it didn't clip. I was surprised, I had to turn it down a little below 9 o'clock. I didn't have that problem with my PA at home.

Very nice! Glad it is working well for you. Thanks! And sorry that your Drop pedal didn't work out for you! I think the Iridium combined with the HX Effects might be a near perfect combination. I'm kinda surprised I haven't been able to find any videos of these two pedals together. I can't be the only one!

What do you think of it after owning it for few weeks?

What do you think of it after owning it for few weeks? The more I use it, the more I like it. It does a pretty good job of tube amp "feel", in that it cleans up when backing off the guitar volume knob, and I'm getting spoiled, not carrying the tube amps around. At this time, all I'm using is my pedalboard with the HX FX, expression pedal and the Iridium, straight into a PA (or with headphones) whether at home or practicing with the bands I'm in.
