The Friedman IR-D puts the signature crunch of the Dirty Shirley into a compact all-tube preamp pedal. Powered by two 12AX7 tubes, it delivers the responsiveness and complexity you’d expect from a Friedman design. With two independent channels equipped with boost, you can footswitch between four distinct gain stages—from pristine cleans to saturated distortion. Built-in IR cabinet simulation sends your tone direct to a PA or interface, complete with studio-quality mic’ing. The Friedman IR-D provides an intuitive control set without burying key parameters in complex menus. Just plug in, dial in your tone and unleash iconic Friedman sound anywhere your pedalboard goes.

Key Features

  • Danger, Danger, High Voltage – Two high-voltage 12AX7 preamp tubes for rich harmonic tone.
  • 2 Channels Bass Boosted – Two independent channels with boost based on Dirty Shirley/Twin Sister circuit.
  • Studio Quality Tone with IR’s – Onboard DSP IR cabinet/power amp simulation for studio-quality tone.
  • Plenty of Friedman Cabinets – 13 Friedman Cabinet IRs included; load your own IRs via Friedman Editor software.

Savour the Tone of Glowing 12AX7 Tubes

While some preamp pedals use tubes merely to “warm up” their solid-state circuits, the Friedman IR-D is built around two genuine 12AX7 preamp tubes. Running at proper high voltage, these tubes infuse your tone with the touch-sensitivity, harmonic complexity and gain characteristics that define the Friedman sound. The IR-D reacts and responds like a real tube amp, not a simulation. You’ll hear—and feel—the difference, from dynamic clean headroom to rich, reactive crunch.

Two Channels Become Four With Independent Boosts

The Friedman IR-D equips each of its two independent channels with a dedicated boost circuit. Essentially, this gives you four distinct voices to craft your ideal gain staging—from pristine cleans to roaring overdrive. Each boost is highly tweakable via the Friedman Editor software. Access two channels at the stomp of your foot, while the extra boost kicks transform the Friedman IR-D into a versatile tone toolkit. The channels themselves are based on Friedman’s famed Dirty Shirley circuits, dialing in those coveted British tones.

Onboard IRs Put World-Class Cab Tones at Your Feet

Thanks to built-in IR cabinet simulation, the Friedman IR-D consistently delivers studio-quality mic’d up tones no matter where you plug in. It comes loaded with 13 of Dave Friedman’s favorite IRs, from classic 4x12s to more exotic combos. Easily select an IR for each channel with the mini toggles. The onboard IRs can be bypassed entirely for use with your own IR loader. Whether recording direct or playing live, the IR-D equips your pedalboard with an arsenal of iconic Friedman cabinets.

Preamp — A preamp pedal shapes and boosts your guitar’s signal before it reaches your amp or recording interface, giving you control over tone, gain, and headroom. It acts as the first stage of amplification, adding warmth, clarity, and character while preparing your signal for the next part of the chain. Some preamps emulate the response of classic valve circuits, while others offer clean, transparent tone shaping ideal for acoustic instruments or direct recording setups. Used on its own, a preamp pedal can serve as the foundation of your tone, providing a consistent core sound wherever you play. When combined with other effects, it enhances dynamics and helps each pedal sound more defined and natural. Whether you’re looking to push your amp harder, bring life to a dull signal, or refine your sound for the studio, a good preamp pedal adds presence, punch, and musicality to any rig.. Tube — Tube-sounding guitar effect pedals are celebrated for their ability to replicate the warm, rich, and dynamic tones associated with classic vacuum tube amplifiers. These pedals emulate the natural harmonic distortion and compression produced by tube circuitry, which adds depth and character to the guitar’s sound. This results in a more organic and engaging tone with a pleasingly smooth overdrive that many musicians find desirable. The warmth and complexity of tube emulation can enhance both subtle nuances and powerful lead tones, making it ideal for genres that favour vintage or classic sounds. Tube-sounding pedals often provide greater responsiveness to playing dynamics, allowing for expressive performance variations based on how hard or softly you play. This dynamic sensitivity ensures that the pedal’s effect adjusts naturally with your playing style, preserving the nuances of your technique. The harmonic richness and clarity achieved through these pedals offer a more detailed and full-bodied sound, which helps in achieving a distinctive tone that stands out in both live performances and studio recordings. Despite the higher cost and occasional maintenance needs, the unique tonal qualities of tube-sounding pedals make them a favoured choice for guitarists seeking an authentic and versatile sound..
