Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Did anyone else get one of these? I'm loving mine. Pretty sweet board right now, despite my ability to play it.

What's the clean like? Can you get a nice, sparkly Fender clean out of it? If you decide to flick it would you let me know? TaKNNZ wrote:yep I bought one in December 19. it's been collecting dust ever since

Plus there’s a Dig and a Big Sky on the acoustic board. The Big Sky will be coming to this board once I get a Duo24.

Re: Strymon Iridium
sorry I won't be of much help! I think it depends on a few factors, your IRs, what speakers/headphones you're monitoring with and also how you tweak the knobs and switches, what I hear from the speakers sound different from my headphones, sounded pretty clean and sparkly on my headphones though, didn't quite like the "fender" tones coming out of my active speakers. My fav of the 3 amp setting is on the Punch modeMolly wrote:What's the clean like? Can you get a nice, sparkly Fender clean out of it? If you decide to flick it would you let me know?

Re: Strymon Iridium
Good IEMS or headphones and dialing up great sounds is pretty easy. Compared to trying to mic up a hot rod deluxe in the corner...I'm sure even easier.

If anyone has one of these I could borrow for a week post-lockdown, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Re: Strymon Iridium
Musicplanet have these at $799 retail, and 15% isn't too difficult to get if you ask nicely or have a relationship with them. That'll mean a new one for under $700. I do find people selling within 20% of new a bit cheeky, esp if they've purchased offshore and no PS included.
