Pre-Owned Friedman IR-D Dual Tube Preamp & DI
The Friedman IR-D is a powerhouse tube preamp and DI box that brings the unmistakable Friedman tone into a compact, pedalboard-friendly format. This pre-owned unit captures the raw character and dynamic feel of a true Friedman amp, making it a serious tool for both stage and studio.
At its core are two real 12AX7 preamp tubes, delivering authentic tube warmth, touch sensitivity, and harmonic complexity. With two fully independent channels, the IR-D covers everything from sparkling cleans and edge-of-breakup crunch to searing high-gain lead tones. Each channel features its own gain, volume, and 3-band EQ controls, offering incredible flexibility and precision.
But the IR-D doesn’t stop at being just a preamp—it also includes a cabinet simulation IR loader, giving you instant access to world-class mic’d cab sounds direct to front-of-house or recording interface via balanced XLR out. USB connectivity makes loading your favourite third-party IRs simple, while a headphone output allows for silent practice without losing that Friedman fire.
Built tough and ready for the road, the IR-D functions brilliantly as a standalone rig, a front-end to a power amp and cab, or as a studio-grade DI solution. This pre-owned model brings pro-level tone at a great value, with all the Friedman character you could ask for.
At Musicmaker, we’re always excited by gear that blurs the line between amp and pedal, and the Friedman IR-D is exactly that—a dual-tube monster in a box, ready to roar.
