HIGH VOLTAGE DUAL-TUBE DIRECT SOLUTION

The Friedman IR-X dual-channel tube preamp is an entire Friedman rig in a compact pedalboard-friendly package. Powered by two high-voltage 12AX7 preamp tubes, each channel delivers the harmonic richness and touch response of Dave Friedman’s finest designs. DSP IR cabinet/power amp simulation sends a studio-quality mic’d-up tone to your DAW or Front-of-House.

ALL-TUBE FRIEDMAN TONE

IR-X 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 12AX7 preamp tubes, running at a proper high voltage, are this pedal's beating heart. A genuine preamp in every way, IR-X delivers all the tone, response, gain characteristics, and harmonic complexity you expect from a Friedman design.

TWO FULLY INDEPENDENT FOOT-SWITCHABLE CHANNELS

Like the famed Friedman flagship amps, channel one takes your tone from bluesy, British-voiced cleans to a muscular Plexi-style roar. Engage channel two for the Friedman signature higher-gain voice and all the percussive punch, note clarity and singing sustain that comes with it.

DUAL INDEPENDENT BOOSTS

Both channels feature their own independent and highly tweakable boost circuits. This essentially gives you four channels, accessible with the tap of your toe.

 

IMPULSE RESPONSE CABINET AND POWER AMP SIMULATION

All great tube amps need a great speaker cabinet, and whether sending your signal straight to the board or silently playing through the onboard headphone output, IR-X gives you a selection of Dave Friedman’s favorite IRs. Select the IR per channel using the 3-way mini toggle switches or load your own quickly and easily via IR-X’s editing software. You can even disengage the onboard IRs entirely to use IR-X’s tube preamp with another IR loader.

 

IR-X SOFTWARE EDITOR

IR-X gives you astounding tonal control, but its included Friedman IR-X Editor software takes it to a new level. With it, you can tweak each channel’s power amp simulation via the thump and presence controls, load your favorite IRs, activate the Boost Lock feature, select loop ON/OFF and save it all to 128 MIDI presets.

Very Straightforward and Easy to Use
Reload type: One Time Reload
I have used this several times, and it has always been a smooth and convenient experience. The biggest advantage is how intuitive the process is. Reloading the balance is simple, quick, and easy to understand without unnecessary steps or confusion. It is especially useful for managing spending, setting a shopping budget, or keeping funds ready for future purchases. Instead of entering payment details every time, having balance available makes checkout faster and more convenient. I also appreciate how quickly the funds are applied, allowing immediate use once the reload is completed. This is one of those simple Amazon features that works exactly the way it should. Overall, easy, efficient, and user-friendly. I have been very satisfied with it. Five stars.

Easy and simple: Exact Step-by-Step Guide to Reloading Your Balance
Reload type: One Time Reload
I found reloading my Amazon gift card balance much easier than expected. The process was simple and took about 5 minutes at most. Here are the exact steps to do it: ​Login: In the Amazon app or on Amazon.com, log in to your account. ​ Menu: Tap the 3 lines on the bottom right corner of your screen (next to Rufus, Amazon's AI). ​ Find Category: In the section highlighted "Shop by category," tap on Gifting & Registry (3rd option down in that section) and a drop-down menu will appear. ​ Select Gift Cards: On the drop-down menu, tap Gift Cards (first option). ​ Choose Your Action: "The Gift Card Shop" will appear. There you will have three options: "Redeem a gift card," "View your balance," and "Reload." ​ Start Reload: To add funds, tap Reload. ​ Select Type: Scroll down to "Add funds directly to your Amazon Gift Card balance" and tap which reload type you want (one-time, low balance auto-reload, or scheduled auto-reload). ​ Enter Amount: Choose your reload amount. The default is $25, but you can type in your own amount as well (the minimum amount is $5.00). ​ Finish: Tap the orange "Buy Now" tab. ***I used the Amazon app using the u i OneUI version 8.0 these Amazon app on Android version 16 (Baklava) on a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Others may have a slight variation of the menu setup on the Amazon app.***

Easy way to add balance
Reload type: One Time Reload
Reloading my Amazon gift card balance has been easy and convenient. I like using it when I want to keep a little money set aside for Amazon orders or make checkout quicker without thinking about which card I want to use. The process is straightforward, the balance shows up fast, and it has been reliable every time I have used it. It is also helpful for budgeting because I can add a set amount and then use that balance for regular purchases. Nothing complicated about it, which is exactly why I like it.

Monthly reload for Subscribe & Save Orders
Reload type: One Time Reload
Not a glamorous review, but a genuinely useful tip for Subscribe & Save users. I reload about $100 to my gift card balance once a month, a week or two before my S&S order processes. Amazon pulls each Subscribe & Save item as a separate transaction, which means 10+ individual charges hitting your bank account on before or on ship day. A headache for budgeting and a minor anxiety trigger if you're watching your account for unauthorized activity. Loading the balance first consolidates everything into one clean transaction. Your S&S order then pulls from the gift card balance rather than your card directly, and your bank statement stays tidy. The side benefit is built-in budget discipline. I set about $100 as my monthly Amazon ceiling - if my cart runs over, something gets pushed to next month. It's a simple system that keeps spending intentional without any extra effort. If you're a regular S&S user who wants cleaner finances and less ""wait, who charged this and what was that charge?"" moments, this is worth making a habit.
