Powerful little bit of kit. Very much a fan

[j.hammer]

This was a very helpful video. I’ve been curious about The necessity of I R’s. I wasn’t quite sure what the strymon iridium or the walrus cab pedal was all about. This video gave me a greater understanding of what I need to do to get my pedal board into the computer. Great job of taking a complex subject and simplifying it for someone like me, much appreciated. Hats off to TC electronics for this product this is much more up my alley.

As much as I love IR's... I'm literally only here to hear the early 90's games console voice say 'DIJJ-IT-ALL JON'

[lance]

It's definitely an impulse buy. Thanks.

[benlogan]

Remember just because he’s been deemed “Digital John” he can still do other things on the channel. It’s cool to see people try things out of the wheel house. It gives a unique insight into the gear!

I have 2 of these now. One is loaded with all my personal amp/cab IRs, and one is loaded with all my own acoustic IRs. It's easy to factory reset too.

I'm digging them for noisy gigs where the audience can't tell the difference, and my large board is protected from spilled drinks.

[BostonDeadHead]

Seriously best channel for gear ever! Been watching for a couple years now. If i need to learn anything about any gear I come here. I was clueless this morning about IRs. My friend tells me I should get a IR capable pedal to dial in this sound im looking for. So im like whats a IR. I have heard of it but never really looked into them. Well Im super excited now. It's exactly what i'm looking for. speaker and cab emulation. Thank you for all the amazing videos. If i ever go across the pond to visit my friends out there. I'll be sure to make time to visit the shop.

It simply blows me away the amount of different platforms, sounds, options, and effects that these modern "pint-sized" pedals can hold. It is tough for my brain to wrap around the incredible number of options such a small pedal can produce.

[EddieVanAidan]

With my Taylor GS Mini I made an acoustic IR to go in my Kemper, and honestly in a live band mix it's by *miles* the closest thing to a mic'd up acoustic I've ever heard. Pretty easy to do with a microphone and a free plugin!

[thenextkurt]

I Hope Riverside in front of an IR loader catches on. With MIDI control, it's the best part of my setup for sure. The Impulse looks Really amazing at what it does

[strange_logic]

Looks good but would like to have seen a review with Valve amp/Reactive Load/TC Electronic Impulse.

[guitarfanz]

Great video. I just bought the tc unit online while watching this. I would have bought from Andertons if you were stateside.

[KoaCharvel]

I have the Boss IR200 and it freaking rocks! I was a big tube only fan, but I have come around to IR's.

[samsantanamusic]

The speaker or in this instance speaker simulation has a HUGE impact on the sound. To me the speaker is 50% of your guitar sound. The guitar and amp are roughly 25% each.

[wolfganghuber]

Thanks for showing and testing this little, helpful unit. IR length is not so important as many think for usual playing (if you don´t want special room sound), Pete Thorn did a great video where he shortened the IR lenght till 15, 16 msec till the sound began to "die". Strymon Iridium works with 500msec, I think/feels better than the 170msec of fractal, it´s got more headroom in my opinion.

[TorSagen]

It would be awesome if a pedal like this didn’t have a limit on the IR length. Then you could use it like a cab loader, reverb pedal and maybe mix a cab IR and room reverb

[idanshahar]

Great video!!
You should do a comparison between the Mooer Radar and this one :)

[andrewchow]

love the tc impulse, I use it the following way: mad professor super black > Korg TR-s (simulate a power section of an amp using nutube) > mxr reverb > TC impulse - great way to go ampless

[middle_pickup]

I wish TC had made this into a DI that could take an amp's speaker output like Neve's RNDI can when placed between the amp and speaker cabinet. I guess they're only looking to market to the silent players.

[SDS-ffed]

For the love of god if ever you guys are demoing pre-amps into IR loaders please please PLEASE try using a vox silk drive in pre amp mode. Its an unsung hero of guitar preamps. Or any of the valvenergy series pedals.
