How I Set Up the Strymon Iridium - David Hislop IR's

In this video I cover how I approach dialing in this pedal to feel like an amp.

Check out my Amp Sim Tone Series that goes in to far more depth on production online:

This video and examples are in STEREO, but it might not appear that way because I'm running stereo out of the headphone input through an 8th inch cable splitting to dual mono TS cable to my interface. I have found that the headphone jack provides more level and bass response.
The gear I'm using here is:
-Fender Jazzmaster with Lindy Fralin PAF's
-"Light gain stage" is my Benson PreAmp
-"Heavy gain stage" is my Kilt V2
-"Boost" is a Broken Arrow using its blue side boost.
-Compressor is a Tone Press

I have been using the Strymon Iridium as a little quiet apartment means of practice and demo tracking for the past few months. I've found a spot with it that works for me to feel about 70-80% of what I would hope to hear when playing in a live situation with amps.
There are definite drawbacks compared to real amps, but for a quiet set up, it's working for me.
The biggest hitter is using David Hislop's IR's. Grab them here:

These IR's make the biggest difference for me because of their break up qualities, I like them a lot.

Enjoy!
