Iridium gives you three iconic amplifiers, with a total of nine impulse response speaker cabinets that complement the tonality of the amp. Skip the hassle of lugging around or miking amps. Place Iridium on your pedalboard and send gorgeous stereo amplifier tones, stunningly realistic cabs, and lush room ambience direct to a recording interface or PA system. With Iridium, it s a snap to dial in a direct tone that will truly inspire and sound great whether you are monitoring through in-ears, floor wedges, reference monitors, or studio headphones. Three Iconic Amplifiers Our Matrix Modeling process captures all the subtleties and unique tonal qualities of each amplifier. We ve taken three iconic tube amps with distinct characters and mathematically modeled every aspect of their circuitry with absolute precision to deliver the response, feel, and inspiring experience of playing through the original amps at their best. Taking the process a step further, we ve hot-rodded each amp to provide an extended range of tonal options beyond what was available from the original designs. Nine Stereo IR Cabinets Iridium s speaker cabinets offer a level of realism and responsiveness unprecedented in outboard effects. Iridium delivers full stereo 24bit 96kHz resolution for the entire 500 milliseconds of its speaker cabinet impulse responses. Until now, IRs of this resolution have only been available for use within studio recording software. Iridium s breakthrough technology means you can use the very best impulse responses available, bringing maximum realism to your pedalboard. Adjustable Room Ambience Iridium s hybrid room reverb combines a 256 millisecond stereo impulse response with Strymon s reverb tank algorithm for extended decay. This combination places your amp and cab in a natural sounding room (small, medium, or large), creating a space for your amp to open up and breathe. The Amps We've Always Wanted. Round Amp Based on* a Fender® Deluxe Reverb The Deluxe is one of the most recorded amps in history for good reason. This amp is clean, bright, and mid-scooped, with plenty of headroom. At higher Drive settings it delivers an overdriven sound unique to its architecture. We chose the Deluxe s Normal channel for its round tone that plays well with pedals. While preserving access to all the tones originally available with this channel, our model gives you something extra: a midrange control. With the midrange at noon, you get the original fixed-resistor value and standard tonal characteristics of the Deluxe. Turn down the midrange for a more scooped sound, or turn it up for tweed-era tones. Chime Amp Based on* the Brilliant channel of a Vox® AC30TB The amp that defined the guitar sound of the British Invasion. Our model of the AC30TB Brilliant channel is jangly, bright, and chimey, providing air for subtle passages with a light touch, and bite when you want to dig in. For this amp, the Middle knob acts a Tone Cut knob, providing high-end roll-off just before the power tubes, per the original AC30 design. In addition to the full available gain of the original amp, toward the top end of the Drive knob s range of travel, we ve added a frequency-shaped front end boost to tighten the low end while driving the amp further into saturation. Punch Amp Based on* a Marshall® Plexi (Super Lead model number 1959) This powerful amp is meatier, with higher gain than the other two amps, and has a powerful midrange response. This amp features a buttery, smooth overdrive. At higher Drive settings it will deliver all the high gain distortion and growl this amp is known for, and then some. Setting the Drive control at around 2 o clock gets you the maximum gain the original Plexi design allowed. Beyond that, our model has some additional gain on tap, giving you access to custom hot-rodded Plexi high gain tones. Amp Science Our Matrix Modeling process captures all the subtleties and unique character of each amplifier. From the unique composition of each tone stack, to component values, bias levels, corner frequencies, and tube stage gain; all of these factors affect the way a note or chord reacts and evolves over time, and all have been mathematically modeled with the highest fidelity. We included multi-stage power sag, so that the sag response and time constant for each stage of the amplifier is modeled separately, adding further harmonic complexity and realistic feel. We also modeled the compression, limited cone movement, and speaker distortion that can happen at high signal levels. We carefully set the range and taper for each knob to make it easy to dial in a variety of great tones with intuitive, predictable amp-like responsiveness. Combining the meticulous reproduction of original circuits with careful fine-tuning has resulted in three stellar amp models that deliver the response, feel, and inspiring experience of playing through the original amps at their best. Tone Stacks That Hit All The Sweet Spots Aggressively boost the treble, and Iridium beautifully reveals all the subtle nuances of even the softest fingerstyle playing. Crank the bass, and enjoy resonant low end that will make you swear there s an amp in the room even when monitoring through headphones. True to the tone stacks of the classic amps we modeled, Iridium s tone controls have the same interdependences as found in the original circuit designs. Iridium gives you amp EQ that is a joy to use, yielding a wide variety of great tones in any direction you go. A Carefully Curated Cabinet Collection. Nine Stunningly Realistic Cabs.

Skip the hassle of miking up your amps or having to crank them up to get the tone you desire. Instantly audition amps and cabs with the flick of a switch. At Home You can t always crank up an amplifier when you want to play in your living room or rehearse at home. Plug your favorite set of headphones into Iridium s headphone jack and get immersed in the sounds of iconic amps and cabs in a natural sounding room. Integrate Iridium into your pedalboard by placing at the end of your chain or before delays and reverbs, and experience your entire pedalboard tones directly in your headphones. More Use Cases Iridium also allows for less common use cases. Want to use Iridium s amplifiers but not the IR cabinets Select Iridium s Cab Bypass mode, and connect the output(s) to the effects return or power amp input on a guitar amplifier. Want to use Iridium s IR cabinets but not the amps Engage Iridium s Amp Bypass mode, and connect a preamp or preamp pedal (such as Riverside) to Iridium s input. Because the purpose of Iridium is to generate amp and cabinet tones, the primary use case is for direct situations. It s not recommended to connect Iridium to a guitar amplifier. Direct Tone That Inspires. With Iridium, it s easy to dial in a direct guitar tone that will truly inspire and sound great whether you are monitoring through in-ears, floor wedges, reference monitors, or studio headphones. In this video, we take a look at the direct environments where Iridium shines. More Features An Amp, Through a Cab, in a Room. Iridium features a hybrid room ambience design that combines 256ms impulse response captures of real rooms for realistic early reflections, with an algorithm for extended decay and modulation. This combination places your amp and cab in a natural sounding room, creating a real space for your amp to open up and breathe. In addition to controlling the amount of room ambience, you can also choose a small, medium, or large room. Super Quiet, Amazingly Responsive. Iridium s input features an ultra low noise, discrete, class-A JFET preamp circuit providing up to 20dB of pure analog gain. This variable gain JFET circuit is used in concert with DSP to create the tube driven input stage of each of Iridium s amps. With our hybrid approach you get the best of both analog and digital worlds. The JFET stage acts as an analog front end conditioner, providing exceptional touch sensitivity and dynamic interaction with your guitar while improving noise performance, and the incredibly powerful SHARC DSP facilitates the great level of detailed complexity and responsiveness of each tube amp s circuitry. This combination of variable gain JFET and DSP is also how we are able to deliver that hot-rodded extra gain at the top end of the Drive knob for the Chime and Punch amps. Stereo Through and Through. Iridium is perfect for use with stereo effects in stereo rigs. Iridium s TS-mono/TRS-stereo input features stereo class-A JFET preamps feeding into a stereo amp driving a stereo speaker cabinet in a stereo-captured room feeding stereo outputs. Get Immersed.

Or, use your expression pedal to enjoy a whole new level of instantaneous, continuous control. Set as many knobs as you like for the heel position and toe position of your expression pedal, and all settings will simultaneously morph throughout the full range of the expression pedal. Amp Research and Development Delivering the complete experience of playing into an amp through a miked cab in a room is a research and development project that has been years in the making. The amp development began in the tube emulation and cascading gain stage topography created for Riverside, and then majorly leveled up for the intense degree of real-time calculation Matrix Modeling required to create Iridium s amps. We re not just talking about the perfectly recreated tone stacks, but also things like the treble bleed on the gain controls, multi-stage power supply sag, and preamp and power amp tube emulation. Our talented and tireless engineering team covered quite a bit of new ground on the way to recreating these classic amp designs with exact mathematical fidelity, and then expanded the capabilities of each amp in musically useful ways, giving you the full range of original amp sounds, and then some. Impulse Response Technology We knew it was theoretically possible to deliver our goal of 24bit 96kHz 500ms impulse responses, but we had to figure out how to do it in practice. This part of the Iridium project turned out to be a five-year journey through adversity. We started with a smaller proof-of-concept FFT (fast Fourier transform) based IR convolution with shorter-duration mono cab IRs, kept working on it, and eventually tore it all down and rebuilt so we could deliver the 24bit 96kHz 500ms IR cabs that we d dreamed of for Iridium. Hybrid Room Ambience Design With these amazing amps and cabs, we wanted to create amazing spaces for them to live and breathe in. When you are playing in a physical room, the first 80 milliseconds or so of early reflections are what really tell your brain what type of space you re in. The complexity of those myriad early reflections are very difficult to simulate with an algorithm. That s where impulse response technology is the perfect tool for the task. After a certain duration, however, impulse responses become computationally expensive, and that s where the algorithm shines: on the long tail. The algorithmic portions of our room ambience were dialed in for each room, with delay lines tailored to enhance and meld with each specific space and room size. Creating a seamless transition between IR and algorithm was an intensive and artistic process that ultimately resulted in completely natural sounding rooms that feel great to play in and never distract. SHARC and ARM Co-Processors Iridium makes the most of the powerful combination of a high-performance 32-bit floating-point SHARC ADSP-21375 processor working together with an ARM co-processor. The SHARC is the perfect choice for handling the plethora of FFT instructions Iridium s real-time sound processing requires, including adding and subtracting simultaneously. We ve created an optimized high-speed communications link between the two processors, and have maximized what the ARM co-processor can do. Each turn of any of Iridium s knobs sets off a chain of numerous coefficient calculations which we let the ARM co-processor handle, leaving the SHARC free to do its massive computational number crunching full-time at maximum capacity. Besides stellar sound and responsiveness, this combination delivers super fast patch switching. The ARM also provides USB connectivity and allows you to very quickly load and audition impulses with our Impulse Manager software. Iridium is really a new class of device. You get IR resolution never before available in outboard gear, without paying a price in patch switching time, allowing you to select presets seamlessly with the speed you expect for live performance use. Manufacturing Iridium, like all of our effects pedals, is built right here in Los Angeles, California. There are many advantages to building our pedals within minutes of our design shop. Most importantly, we control every aspect of manufacturing to ensure quality and consistency at every step of the process. Every potentiometer, encoder, switch, LED, and audio component on every pedal is tested and re-tested. Using the latest Audio Precision audio analyzing gear, each pedal must exceed our exacting audio quality standards.

Time-Warped Reverberator. Create vast soundscapes with just a few notes from your instrument. Apply mind-bending pitch and harmonic manipulation to your reverb tails, with synth-like filter sweeps. Enter a world of new sounds that blow away the boundaries of what is possible with reverb. With pioneers and adventurous sonic explorers in mind we created a reverb pedal that can go where none have gone before. Reverberant Synthesis Machine. NightSky is a reverberant synthesis workstation, and a powerful, hands-on experimental sound design platform. NightSky gives you real-time continuous control of reverb pitch/processing rate/core size, harmonics, and even a synth-like resonant filter with multiple modulation waveshapes, plus a step sequencer with variable glide. You haven t heard a pedal like this before. The Rules of Space and Time Have Been Rewritten. New Sonic Territory. NightSky is a reverb pedal you will want to get your hands on. Deep and powerful sound manipulation with instant response knob-tweaking and no menu diving set a new standard in experimental reverb sound design. Warp Core Reverb. NightSky achieves some of its most mind bending sounds by using a Variable Process Rate for its reverb core, allowing you to simultaneously change the size of the reverb as well as the pitch. This pitch change can be completely smooth, or quantized to a variety of musical scales. And it can be sequenced. Harmonic Sculpture Machine. Use Shimmer to shift the harmonic structure by selectable musical intervals. Add Glimmer to dynamically enhance the harmonic spectrum. Turn up Drive to generate saturated overdriven harmonics. Then sculpt the resulting signal with NightSky s synth-like variable-resonance low pass filter. Challenge The Conventions. NightSky evolved from a desire to push the envelope and challenge the conventions of traditional reverb while also paying homage to the experimental reverberant sounds from decades past. It started with the variable rate core. Once that was nailed down, we knew we had to complement it with a set of sound-shaping features that could take full advantage of the unique possibilities and expand them exponentially. This led us to a full-featured modulation section, a 4-pole resonant filter, and a unique Voice section to control the reverb s harmonic structure. Three Reverb Textures: Sparse, Dense, and Diffuse. NightSky gives you three distinct Reverb textures to choose from: Sparse, Dense, and Diffuse. The Sparse reverb creates reflections that are far enough apart from each other to be audibly distinct. Legato notes create a lush but pleasingly clean sound field, while staccato notes reveal individual echoes in a way that is well suited for sound design and special effects. The Dense reverb texture is an immediate-response reverb with a smooth sound field, featuring sonic characteristics similar to a plate. The Diffuse reverb creates a slow-building, atmospheric wash that excels at ambient, swell, and even reverse-like textures. The Diffuse reverb deconstructs and spreads transients over time to achieve its bloom-like effect. Travel at Warp Speed. NightSky jettisons tradition and opens up a new universe of possibilities by using a variable rate process to expand and contract the reverb core size. This changes the reflection density and response of the reverb while retaining the integrity of the audio within the reverb. The result is a reverberated signal that can be transposed, sequenced and pitch modulated for interplanetary approval. Sonically Beautiful Reverb Repitching. Inspired by the classic shimmer effects pioneered in the 80s using digital reverbs and pitch shifters, NightSky s Shimmer voice is carefully created from the reverberated signal itself to generate maximum radiance and beauty. Call forth deep, low ambient string sections with the octave down setting, or spacey ethereal textures with octave up. In between the octaves are several musically interesting intervals available for shifting the harmonic structure of the reverb. The Shimmer processing can be applied at the reverb input only, or can regenerate within the reverb core for ever-ascending or descending pitches as the reverb decays. Custom Tailored Harmonic Spectrum. Glimmer creates an enhanced harmonic spectrum using an optimally tuned dynamic resonant network. Its high setting accentuates higher frequency harmonics, creating a washy, dreamy, ambient top end. With Glimmer switched to its low setting, lower frequency harmonics are enhanced to alter the perceived harmonic structure and create mysterious synth-like textures. Explosions in the NightSky. NightSky s Drive feature generates saturated overdriven harmonics that can either react to the signal going into the reverb core, or dynamically distort the reverb s output in a very interactive way. When Drive is applied at the input to the reverb, digging in generates more distorted harmonics, so you can dynamically play the distortion going into the reverb core. Placed on the reverb output, Drive acts as a soft-clipped limiter, reacting dynamically with the complexities of the decay of the reverb. This can produce interesting distorted stereo panning effects, as reflections on either side of the stereo image surpass or recede below the amplitude necessary to generate noticeable distortion. The harmonic complexity created by the Drive block is perfectly suited for sonic sculpting via NightSky s low pass filter. Synth-like Low Pass Filter and More. NightSky features a beautifully tuned 4-pole 24dB/octave low pass filter with a user-selectable resonance amount for gorgeous synth-like filter sweeps of the reverb output. The low pass filter is especially effective at shaping the distortion products from the Drive section. When used with NightSky s Modulation section this filter reveals the inspiring power of subtractive reverberant synthesis. The low pass filter can also be swapped for a high cut filter that removes high frequencies from the regenerating reverb core to create a reverb that gets darker as it decays. Also in NightSky s TONE section is a low cut filter that removes low end content both at the output and in the reverb core. Powerful Modulation Capabilities. Add motion to your sounds with NightSky s Modulation section. Create slowly evolving ethereal textures, or push the limits of wildly experimental sound design. Triangle, square, ramp, saw, random, and envelope waveforms can be used to modulate your choice of targets: Modulate the delay lines within the regenerating reverb core, or modulate the size/pitch (process rate) of the reverb core. Or, for very synth-like sounds, modulate the resonant low pass filter. Unlock the Power of Morph. NightSky s Morph feature allows you to seamlessly go from one set of knob positions to another at the press of a footswitch, at any Morph speed you choose. Use it to gradually vary modulation speed and depth, or morph from a subtle short-decay reverb to a huge, mysterious, modulated long-decay reverb. You can morph between different size/pitch settings or even morph between shimmer intervals. Turn up the resonance on the low pass filter and use Morph to sweep the filter s center frequency, sweeping through audible harmonics as you go. Morph settings are saved per-preset, making it a powerful live performance tool. Sequence Your Reverb. NightSky features a powerful and easy to use eight step sequencer. Each step effectively changes the SIZE/PITCH setting and can be easily tuned in half step increments or to notes in the musical scale of your choosing, or can be tuned freely with no pitch quantization. The sequencer can be set to advance a single step each time you press a footswitch, or can run automatically at a tapped tempo. Individual steps can be instantly activated or deactivated as the sequence runs, and you can set a variable glide time for smooth pitch transitions between steps. Sequences are saved per preset. Infinite Sky. NightSky s INFINITE footswitch freezes the audio at the input to the reverb core, and any new audio can still be processed by the reverb on top of the frozen audio. Not only does this allow you to create a lush ambient bed to play over, it offers a whole new world of possibilities when used in conjunction with NightSky s sequencer. Now you can repitch that frozen audio by predetermined intervals stored in your sequence, creating on-demand chord changes to play over, or single note sequences to set a groove. Go Beyond. NightSky s front panel offers an abundance of control over your reverberated signal. Should you desire to venture even further beyond the ordinary, there are several secondary parameters to add to your sound design toolkit. Infinite Input Mode With Infinite mode, select whether additional input signal gets processed by the reverb and sequencer or passes through unprocessed Glide Time Set the Glide (portamento) speed for the sequencer Pre-Delay Adjust pre-delay from 0 to 500ms Scale Select Choose from eight different scales when scale quantize is selected Filter Resonance Vary the resonance from gradual rolloff to sharp peaking response when low pass is selected Glimmer Gain Adjust the intensity of the Glimmer effect Drive Gain Set the intensity of the Drive effect Morph Time Adjust how quickly settings morph between each other Instant Access to 16 Presets. NightSky gives you instant front panel access to 16 presets. Of course, if 16 is not enough, 300 preset locations are available via MIDI. Core of your MIDI Rig. With full MIDI control of every parameter plus 300 preset locations, NightSky is designed to be the center of sonic expressiveness for your MIDI pedalboard. Control sequencer tempo and pitch via MIDI. Modulate NightSky s filter with beat-synced modulation envelopes from your DAW. Let NightSky provide the inspiration, and the possibilities are as unlimited as your imagination. NightSky transmits and receives MIDI over 5-pin DIN, USB, and even the Expression jack (via our MIDI EXP cable) perfect for your pedalboard or in your studio. Morphing expression control. Connect an expression pedal and enjoy a whole new level of instantaneous, continuous control. Set as many knobs as you like for the heel position and toe position of your expression pedal, and all settings will simultaneously morph throughout the full range of the expression pedal. Dedicated Instrument/Line Input Level Switch. NightSky offers an input level switch to work perfectly with a variety of input sources. Set the switch to the INST position when using a guitar level input. Set to LINE when using NightSky in the effects loop of a guitar amp, or when driving NightSky with a hot output from a synth or mixer insert. The LINE input mode gives you an additional 10dB of clean headroom, and is also perfect for using NightSky as a send effect or insert effect in the studio. Additional Control with MultiSwitch Plus. Connect MultiSwitch Plus to NightSky s Expression Pedal jack for additional footswitchable control.
