Let’s experiment some more with the Strymon Iridium, shall we?

This time, I’ll be switching places on my pedalboard to see if I can get better sounding results than my real amps.

I’ll also test to see if plugin the Iridium in mono or stereo makes a difference when it’s not placed at the end of the chain.

Here’s what I tested:
- Real Amps (no Iridium)
- End of the chain
- Before time-based effects (in mono)
- Before time-based effects (in stereo)

Tell me in the comments below what you thought sounded better!
