ULTIMATE COMPACT RIG

SIMPLY PLUG IN AND PLAY  

DAW
Designed to give you true Ironheart performance in a convenient desktop package, directly into your DAW using the T-USB 2.0 interface.

The USB2.0 Bidirectional interface simultaneously sends an amped and a dry signal to your DAW via different channels, allowing you to re-amp the dry signal later using the leadless re-amp feature – simply hit the re-amp button and your original dry guitar track is re routed via the USB socket back through the IRT-PULSE.

With real tube tone into your DAW thanks to the two ECC83 high voltage tubes on board the IRT-PULSE features two modes REGULAR and HOT. Regular allows you to dial in a small amount of tube drive giving you a really nice amount of natural break up whilst hot mode switches you into real IRONHEART lead tone and everything in between.

The IRT-PULSE comes equipped with a switchable on-board cabinet emulation – the same as the great sounding cabinet emulation as the IRT-STUDIO.

So you can use the on-board emulation or record it dry and add an IR from you DAW. It’s your choice.

SILENT PRACTICE
Equipped with a headphone socket, an aux in and on-board cabinet emulation the IRT-PULSE allows you to practice wherever and whenever you want with true IRONHEART tube tone!

HIGH END BOOST PEDAL
With the availability of floor based pedal loop technology high end boost pedals have never been more popular and non sound as good as the IRT-PULSE and believe me we’ve tried the best!

Equipped with a footswitchable bypass function the IRT-PULSE is as happy sat on your pedal board, as it is sat on your desk and it’s two high voltage ECC83’s tubes provide masses of front-end gain to any amplifier. It will happily sit in with the rest of your pedals on your pedal board.

In order to cater for different amplifier characteristics the IRT-PULSE has a number of EQ options, Dark, Bright and EQ. When connecting to an overly bright amplifier use the DARK switch to cut some of the HF in the IRT-PULSE signal, conversely if you are connecting to a dark sounding amp then engage the BRIGHT switch to boost the high end of the IRT-PULSE and for general tone shaping the EQ button calls up a fixed EQ curve which boosts the bass and tops whilst pulling back the mids giving you a very pleasing sound.

FIX LOOP INSERT
The IRT-PULSE can also be used to add some TUBE tone to a non-tube set up simply by connecting the IRT-PULSE into an amps effects loop.

Supplied in a protective soft carrier bag with a power supply included.
