The Friedman IR-D dual-channel tube preamp encapsulates a complete Friedman setup in a compact, pedalboard-friendly form. The IR-D features two fully independent, identical, foot-switchable channels derived from Friedman's iconic designs. The Dave-modified JTM45 circuit provides the quintessential British tone Friedman is celebrated for. 

Each channel is energized by two high-voltage 12AX7 preamp tubes, producing the harmonic richness and nuanced touch response characteristic of Dave Friedman's most esteemed designs. The DSP IR cabinet/power amp simulation delivers a studio-quality, mic'd-up sound to your DAW or front-of-house system. The IR-D offers straightforward controls, eschewing complicated menus and extensive manuals.

IR-D isn't simulating a Friedman tube preamp. It is one. While many available preamp pedals utilize tubes to 'warm up' their digital or solid-state circuit, two glowing hot 12AX7 preamp tubes, running at the proper high voltage, are this pedal's beating heart. A genuine preamp in every way, IR-D delivers all the tone, response, gain characteristics, and harmonic complexity you expect from a Friedman design.
