IR-X DUAL TUBE PREAMP
Congratulations on purchasing this incredible new guitar tube
Pre-Amp designed by one of the most well-known amp designers
in the LA Music scene for the past 20 years, Dave Friedman.
The Friedman IR-X is a dual-tube,
high-voltage, multi-channel
and multi-function preamp, designed to be used in a multitude
of ways including:
1) As a stand-alone cab-less ampli er replacement, both live,
and for studio recording sessions.
2) The IR-X can also be used as a full featured guitar preamp by
connecting it into the effects loop return of an ampli er head
or combo, or into a stand-alone power amp and speaker cab.

PLUGGING IN
We recommend starting the preamp with the Bass on 6, the Mids at
around 5 and the Treble at 5. Set the gain around 6, then bring the
Master to taste on both channels. Set Boost levels located on the
side to about 5. Up = more gain when in boost mode. After plugging
in, you will notice instantly, the tight bottom end and rich harmonical-
ly detailed chords and single notes, that’s the Friedman sound. The
IR-X cleans up remarkably well with the guitar’s volume control even
with the amp on higher gain settings.
The IR-X was primarily designed as a direct recording and live solu-
tion, with that Friedman tone you have become accustomed to. The
IR-X will thrill you with all the different tones available. If you need
a great direct solution and more, the IR-X tube preamp is the unit
for you.
PEDAL BOARD AMP - DIRECT OUT
Use the IR-X as a portable pedalboard amp replacement, or with
headphones at home for practicing. You can also use the integrated
DI balanced out to directly connect the IR-X to your RECORDING
interface, monitors or PA system.
