Reply To: H90 Routing with Friedman IR-x

[joecozzi]

There’s a few things you can try:

1. Perhaps it has to do with operating levels. The manual for IR-X specifies that the output is a balanced out, which usually operates at line level. Trying going into the System menu of the H90 > I/O > set In 3 to Line so the input of the insert sees the same impedance of the IR-X output. Outs 1&2 of the H90 should be set according to the type of input you’re connecting to. i.e. if you’re using the Instrument inputs of our audio interface set the H90 outputs to Instrument level; if you’re using line inputs of our audio card, set the H90 outputs to Line.
2. Not sure what you mean by “direct” mode, but if you’re trying to bypass the IR-X IR and Poweramp SIM, maybe you can try applying either the IR or Poweramp SIM by themselves using the software.
3. Or, you could connect to the H90 using the IR-X effects loop SEND. This will only give you the IR-X preamp tone, no cab or Poweramp SIM, for the most “direct” tone possible.
