I recently sold an Atomic Ampli-Firebox amp modeler and a Keeley DDR but this time I used the $$. The Strymon Iridium gives you three iconic amplifiers, with a total of nine impulse response speaker cabinets that complement the tonality of the amp. K. While other companies have been busy cramming everything and the kitchen sink into multi-effects style floor units and mini floor units, Strymon has taken a more holistic approach and given us something necessary to getting the job done with specific functionality all of the other companies have missed. I’m going to go against the hype here and say that I’ve not been that impressed so far.
