“An entire Friedman rig in a compact pedalboard-friendly package”: Friedman’s expanded IR-D puts a cult classic amp mod into a tube preamp pedal without breaking the bank

Friedman IR-D.

Friedman has expanded its collection of pedal amps with the IR-D – an tube-loaded, two-channel preamp pedal that has been described as “an entire Friedman rig in a compact pedalboard-friendly package”.

The IR-D follows Friedman’s IR-X, which arrived late last year. That pedal set a new precedent for the firm, putting boutique tube tones on your ‘board at a rather enticing price point.
