How does Strymon's new Iridium amp modeler sound in a full band mix? How does it take pedals?

I already made a video where I played the Iridium sitting on the floor by itself. This time I tried something closer to how I actually use it - as a clean platform with my pedalboard in front of it, in a mix with other instruments.

This is a song my band Map & Compass released in 2017, on our album "Sky Above, Ground Beneath". I copied in only the drum and synth tracks, and then re-recorded all of the guitars and bass through the Iridium. All guitars are through the Chime model and the bass is through the Round amp.

I tried to note in the video what pedals I'm using on each guitar part. I know the text goes by fast, I guess pause it if you need to. Most of the guitars are using some combination of the Diamond Compressor, Paul Cochrane Timmy, Source Audio Nemesis, Strymon El Capistan, and Strymon blueSky. Then a JHS Morning Glory and a Boss SD-1 get stacked in on the louder parts. One of the guitars has an MXR Analog Chorus on it in places.

The Gibsons are panned hard left and right, the lead guitar (Telecaster) is up the center, and the clean Strat that goes throughout the song is panned 50% left, if that helps at all to pick them out.

The bass is running through the Diamond Compressor, the Timmy, and into the Round model on the Iridium with all EQ knobs straight up at noon. No extra DI or anything. Then it's lightly compressed and EQ'ed in the DAW. I was honestly impressed how good the bass sounded through what is supposed to be a guitar amp modeler... I'll have to play with that more in the future.

Unless I state otherwise in the video, everything I test out on here is stuff that I bought myself. There are no paid reviews on this channel and only a couple times have I ever had items sent to me for review. All opinions are my own!
