Only a couple places to buy online...mainly direct from Strymon. But a quick survey shows they are in stock. Don't overpay!

I’ve been waiting for weeks for my Sweetwater order. My rep said they did get some in but it wasn’t enough to cover the orders and there were people ahead of me.

So it’s good? These are popping up on Reverb almost daily. Not sure if that’s a sign... What popman said, people seem to be trying to make a quick buck. I also had trouble with helping him find one until we just went to the Strymon site, $399 and got it 2 days later.

My local crack uh, guitar shop, Tone Shop Guitars in Dallas TX, had one sitting in their pedal display case on Tuesday when I was in there. This place is not good for my bank account.

Well, damn. I just checked out this thread today. Listened to a couple videos in the car on my way to work this morning. Hot damn this thing sounds pretty good. Might be worth selling an amp to grab one.

The only thing good about this is that they don't have sales so I'm not going to miss some killer deal by not buying today.

Are you guys that have an Iridium going line in to your interface or are you gaining it with something else? I know drbill was hitting some various pieces but what about others? When I go line out into the Symphony the level is quite low.

When I go line out into the Symphony the level is quite low. I've been doing Iridium -> DI -> Mic Pre -> converter. No real reason except we have a run of shows coming up where we can't take amps so I wanted to get everyone used to running everything as we'll be performing.

Mine just arrived today. About to start messing with it. First choice will be the Zod. RND, Chandler and Overstayer might get a pass as well. (Just realized lately that the MAS has DI's and I never use them. Should check them out.)

I've been using the Iridium on BOC fly dates for a couple weeks now. I use only the amp models with cab IR's from the Two-Notes Torpedo. The Two-Notes IR's have multiple mics and placement capability and I've already got my favorites there. The Marshall model is thicker than a real JCM900 clean channel (but cleaner than the lead channel) and of course it's consistent, unlike the backline company heads we use. I'm also using less drive/distortion pedals in front of the Iridium than I did with real amps. It's a viable box, and makes the setup easier. I monitor onstage (at comfortable volume) line out from the Torpedo, with a clean solid state amp, or into the effect returns of a JCM900 and a 4x12.

Just messing around with it. Into the ZOD it sounds awesome. I like it way better than the OX. Mexican Tele -> Iridium and quickly got great tones. Sold on this one. Iridium mono out -> Strymon Lex -> RND DI -> Silver Bullet -> Burl was sounding awesome too. Fantastic pedal. Sounds as good as advertised.

I'll capture a few options and post back.

I've spent some more time with mine too. It's a really cool piece. I'll post some stuff sometime soon too.
Really fun to track through.

I don't, but the other half of Bat Lanyard does. He has an AC30 with the blues. I've got a china-made AC15 that I had retubed but doesn't get used much. My main head here is a '78 50W Marshall Plexi.

Aren’t most of the ones on Reverb from people trying to flip them for a few extra bucks though? My local shop had them new for $399 just last week. And, that’s street. I can talk them down from there.

Edit: Yes, it's a total keeper. Where it gets things right, IMO, is the mid to lows. Sounds like the real thing throughout.

Those sound clips are through the Strymon Chime (Vox)?

Those sound clips are through the Strymon Chime (Vox)? They're through all three amps and cabs. The settings (mostly, except for where I switched pickups) are in the photo of each track. Edit: various amps and cabs. As stated, I'm no Pete Thorn by any stretch, gear demo-wise.
