Friedman IR-D
A dual-channel all-tube preamp and cab/IR-simulation pedal voiced after Friedman's Dirty Shirley/Twin Sister circuit, built for board-friendly direct tone.
About this pedal
Two identical, independently boostable channels are based on Friedman’s modded JTM45-style Dirty Shirley/Twin Sister circuit for classic British tone. The tube preamp pairs with onboard impulse-response cab and power-amp simulation — 13 included Friedman IRs, selectable per channel via toggle switch or loaded through the included editor software. MIDI-capable with 128 presets and a transparent effects loop for integrating time-based pedals.
