*This is a Used Pedal in our Grade 4 - Excellent Condition

Looking for Friedman’s legendary Dirty Shirley/Twin Sister setup in a compact pedalboard-friendly package, then the IR-D could be just what you've been looking for.

The IR-D is powered by two actual high-voltage 12AX7 preamp tubes, rather than via a digital or solid-state method, giving you a genuine preamp in every way that delivers the harmonic richness and touch response of Dave Friedman’s finest designs.

Just like a full sized and famed Friedman amp, the IR-D can boast for having two independent, foot switchable channels; with boost, that are based on Friedman’s legendary Dirty Shirley/Twin Sister design, and Dave's modded JTM45 circuit that delivers the signature British tone for which Friedman is known for.

This is a 'used' pedal, in our Grade 4 excellent condition, it's been well loved and looked after, and doesn't come with the original box, candy or manual, but does have the 12v power adaptor.

What Do Friedman Say?

The Friedman IR-D dual-channel tube preamp is an entire Friedman rig in a compact pedalboard-friendly package. IR-D boasts two fully independent identical foot-switchable channels which are based on Friedman’s legendary designs. This Dave modded JTM45 circuit delivers the signature British tone for which Friedman is known for.

Powered by two high-voltage 12AX7 preamp tubes, each channel delivers the harmonic richness and touch response of Dave Friedman’s finest designs. DSP IR cabinet/power amp simulation sends a studio-quality mic’d-up tone to your DAW or Front-of-House. The IR-D provides easy-to-use controls without complex menus and 100-page manuals.

ALL TUBE FRIEDMAN TONE

IR-D isn't simulating a Friedman tube preamp. It is one. While many available preamp pedals utilize tubes to 'warm up' their digital or solid-state circuit, two glowing hot 12AX7 preamp tubes, running at the properhigh voltage, are this pedal's beating heart. A genuine preamp in every way, IR-D delivers all the tone, response, gain characteristics, and harmonic complexity you expect from a Friedman design.

2 INDEPENDENT CHANNELS WITH BOOST

IR-D boasts two fully independent identical foot-switchable channels which are based on Friedman’s legendary Dirty Shirley/Twin Sister design. This Dave modded JTM45 circuit delivers the signature British tone for which Friedman is known for.

IMPULSE RESPONSE CABINET AND POWER AMP SIMULATION

All great tube amps need a great speaker cabinet, and whether sending your signal straight to the board or silently playing through the onboard headphone output, IR-D gives you a selection of Dave Friedman’s favorite IRs. Select the IR per channel using the 3-way mini toggle switches or load your own quickly and easily via Friedman’s editing software. You can even disengage the onboard IRs entirely to use IR-D’s tube preamp with another IR loader.

IR-D SOFTWARE EDITOR

IR-D gives you astounding tonal control, but its included Friedman Editor software takes it to a new level. With it, you can tweak each channel’s power amp simulation via the Thump and Presence controls, load your favorite IRs, activate the Boost Lock feature, select loop ON/OFF and save it all to 128 MIDI presets.

EXPANDED MIDI CONTROL

IR-D is MIDI-capable. Whether pulling up presets with a pedalboard controller or switching channels with the laptop running your entire show, IR-D is ready for the job. It truly is the perfect marriage of modern control and classic tube tone.

FLEXIBLE RIG INTEGRATION

The IR-D’s transparent effects loop allows you to easily integrate your favorite effects with everything from the most straightforward setups to the most complex digitally controlled rigs.

Cabinet IRs

13 FRIEDMAN CABINET IRS INCLUDED.

The IR-D software includes 13 free Friedman IRs to choose from. The first three listed below are the ones which are factory set to the hardware.

6402 57 121
Dave Friedman’s favorite 4×12 cab in bare wood. This is Dave’s primary workshop cab and has been used to voice his amplifiers since the very beginning. It’s fitted with four 6402 Greenback speakers and was captured with an SM57 and R-121 for a nice balance of cut and body.

1960 GREEN 5757121
This cabinet IR is the classic 1960B cabinet from the 80’s. Fitted with 20w British Greenbacks. It has a distinctive sonic signature that sings 80’s to modern rock tones. Captured with a pair of SM57 on two speakers, along with a R-121 to help fill out the body of the sound. These were fed into a set of API preamps with a touch of EQ to enhance the presence.

DS112 57 1973
The Friedman Dirty Shirley 1×12 open back speaker cabinet with a G12-50GL features a detailed top end with an airy bass and mid response. A perfect choice for clean tones or if you’re looking for a more bluesy sound. Captured with an SM57 and a Soyuz 1973 into API preamps.

IR-D Integration

ALL-IN-ONE

IR-D’s surprisingly compact size turns your pedalboard into your entire rig. Run your favorite dirt pedals and filters directly into the IR-D’s input as you would with any amplifier, and place your favorite time-based effects in the effects loop. Now send all that tone directly to the board with the stunning-sounding benefits of IR technology.

STANDALONE PREAMP

Do you want all the benefits of IR-D’s all-tube preamp section but prefer a live cabinet onstage? No problem. Simply connect the effects loop Send to your time-based effects and then to your amps power section. You can still send the IR output to the console to avoid the hassles of live mic’ing the cabinet (see manual for details).

IR-LOADER

To utilize IR-D’s IR technology independently of the preamp section, just plug your preferred preamp or pedals into its effects loop return. It’s a great way to harness all of its power amp and speaker simulation onstage or in the studio.

Amazing Reverb Pedal - Love it!

One of the standout features of the Fathom is its four different reverb modes: Hall, Plate, Lo-fi, and Sonar. Each mode has its own unique character, allowing you to tailor your sound to fit any musical genre or mood. The Hall setting provides a rich and spacious reverb, perfect for creating an ambient atmosphere. The Plate mode offers a brighter and more pronounced reverb, ideal for adding a touch of sparkle to your sound. The Lo-fi mode is particularly interesting, as it adds a bit of grit and texture to the reverb, giving it a vintage feel. Lastly, the Sonar mode introduces a subtle modulation to the reverb, which adds a sense of movement and depth to your sound.

The Fathom also features a sustain switch, which allows you to hold and sustain the reverb effect for as long as you like. This is perfect for creating long, dreamy soundscapes or for adding an extra layer of depth to your playing. Additionally, the pedal has a mix knob, which lets you blend the reverb effect with your dry signal, as well as a decay knob, which controls the length of the reverb tail.

In terms of sound quality, the Fathom delivers a pristine and natural reverb that can enhance any playing style. Whether you're looking to add a subtle touch of reverb to your clean tones or create a massive wall of ambient sound, the Fathom has you covered. I found that it performed exceptionally well in both live and studio settings, making it a versatile addition to any musician's toolkit.

After only ever using the reverb setting on my amp, this felt like a step up in the reverb game. Love it. Bought this 2nd hand from Pedal Jungle and other than not having the original box (this was declared at the point of purchase) it looks to be as new! As always Pedal Jungle are an absolute delight to deal with. Thank you again.

Thanks once again Jon, and thanks also for the great review mate. Paul

Hizumatis Fuzz

Pedal Jungle deliver another winner with this EQD Hizumatis, from their used collection. Very happy with the service and description on the second hand side of things. If I hadn’t of been told I would have sworn it were brand new. Now onto the pedal itself. If you’re a fan of all things Fuzz this pedal is a must have for your collection. You can strum out chords with this one without it sounding like a complete mess and it’s exceptionally good with those doom/stoner rock tones. It can be massive in sound and tones or if you wish it to be, it can be dialed down for a more suitable fuzz effect.

Much obliged sir for your continued custom and support of our small business. Glad the Hizumatis delivers for you. Enjoy! Paul
