Guitar Gear Forum

I played my 3rd show with it last night and man, I'm sold on this. It sounds and sits in the mix like a proper amp. In fact watching the videos of the last 3 shows, the guitar actually sounds bigger in the mix than I usually get with my amps, I guess because since it's DI, soundguys are not "afraid" to turn it up.
I'm surprised there are not more people dumping their modeling and switching to them, because they're infinitely better than any digital modeling out there. It's not even a fair comparison. I'm seriously considering just going DI live moving forward, the IR-D completely solved any issues I had with it.

As someone whose rig is exclusively based around a pedal-based preamp/DI, I would be sold, but I don’t know how it sounds on bass. But I’m all for this, in principle.

We use a SansAmp FlyRig for bass. It sounds great live, I can't imagine needing anything better. But I suppose the IR-D would work well too.

Are you boosting the IR-D to keep it tight?

It looks like a great bit of kit, and it's pretty well priced too. I'd like to check one out but all the stories near me only sell shitty stuff

It sounded great in that vid you posted I was really impressed!

Just for leads. Pretty much the same pedal setup I use with my Marshalls.

From last night, the end of my solo and our last song

Are you monitoring the IR-D with that 4x12? What power amp are you using?

No the 4x12 was from the other band, I didn't use it.

I just went straight into the PA and monitored it through the stage wedges . No power amp or cab.
