{"product_id":"friedman-ir-x","title":"Friedman IR-X Tube Preamp and DI","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe IR-X is a two-channel Friedman tube preamp in a pedalboard box about six and a half inches wide. Two 12AX7s run at high voltage, so the gain and touch response come from real tubes, and the output goes through power amp simulation and an impulse response cab before it leaves on a balanced TRS jack or the headphone out. Channel 1 runs from a British-voiced clean up to a Plexi-style crunch, with a 3-way Bright switch. Channel 2 is Friedman's higher-gain voice, with a 2-way Tight switch. Each channel has its own boost, so three footswitches get you four sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works three ways. Use it as the whole rig, with drives in front and time-based effects in the loop, straight to the desk or into headphones. Feed the loop send into a power amp and keep a real cab on stage while the IR output still goes to front of house. Or skip the preamp and use the loop return as an IR loader. Twelve Friedman IRs come with the editor, three of them on the hardware switches, and you can load your own and save everything to 128 MIDI presets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IR-X is the one for players who want the classic Friedman two-channel spread, clean-to-crunch and high gain. The IR-D trades that for two identical channels based on the Dirty Shirley and Twin Sister. The IR-J is the Jake E. Lee signature, with TS-style boosts and an extra Low-Pass Filter control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAMPLIFIER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: United States\u003cbr\u003eType: All-tube HIGH-VOLTAGE preamp, DI\u003cbr\u003eChannels: Two independent channels + boost\u003cbr\u003eChannel 1: Top channel, clean to gritty\u003cbr\u003eChannel 2: Bottom channel, high gain drive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTUBES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreamp Tubes: 2 x 12AX7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTROLS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePer Channel: Volume, Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble\u003cbr\u003eBoost (per channel): Boost Volume and Gain\u003cbr\u003eChannel 1: 3-way Bright switch\u003cbr\u003eChannel 2: 2-way Tight switch\u003cbr\u003eCAB\/IR Select: Three position switch per channel (programmable via software)\u003cbr\u003eFootswitches: Three multi-function foot switches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONNECTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOutput: TRS balanced output\u003cbr\u003eHeadphones: Headphone output\u003cbr\u003eEffects Loop: Ultra-transparent series FX loop (bypassable)\u003cbr\u003eMIDI: 5 pin standard connector and USB MIDI\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower amp simulation with software editable Presence and Thump (per channel)\u003cbr\u003eLow latency Impulse Response cabinet simulation (bypassable)\u003cbr\u003eIRs: 12 free Friedman IRs or load your own\u003cbr\u003eMIDI programmable: Channel select \/ Boost, IR select, Thump and Presence, Effects loop ON\/OFF, Boost Lock\u003cbr\u003ePresets: 128 MIDI presets\u003cbr\u003eSoftware: USB software editor, powered by SYNERGY\u003cbr\u003eWarranty: Limited 3-year Warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePOWER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower Supply: Universal 12V Power Supply Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (Including Knobs): 5.5” (D) x 6.5” (W) x 2.3 (H)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1.5 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eACCESSORIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded: Universal 12V Power Supply, 6 Foot USB2.0 A Male to B Male cable\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Friedman","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":47784889450580,"sku":"FRD-IR-X","price":699.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/friedman-ir-x-front_sq.jpg?v=1791566399","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/friedman-ir-x","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
