The IRT-PULSE opens up a new world of opportunities for guitarists and is a totally new way of experiencing the legendary IRONHEART tone.
The IRT-PULSE is a tube-loaded multi functional guitar interface.
Plug into the IRT-PULSE and instantly have your tube tome wherever you want it. IRT-PULSE is a recording guitar players dream – plug into the IRT-PULSE and plug directly into your recording software of choice.
TUSB
The on board TUSB interface gives you a direct route into your DAW, with nothing to get in the way.
Leadless reamping
The IRT-PULSE enables leadless re-amping at the push of a button saving valuable time in the studio nailing your guitar tone.
Silent practice
With on-board cabinet emulation and a headphone facility the IRT-PULSE is a totally silent all tube practice rig. Equipped with a headphone socket, an aux in and on-board cabinet emulation the IRT-PULSE allows you to practise wherever and whenever you want with true IRONHEART tube tone!
Boutique boost
With a pair of high gain ECC83’s on board and a FS option the IRT-PULSE is as happy sat in front of your favourite amp as a 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.
Ultimate compact rig
With comprehensive EQ and on board cabinet emulation the IRT-PULSE is the ultimate compact rig. Simply rock up, plug into the PA and you are ready, nothing could be simpler or sound better than an IRT-PULSE.
The IRT-PULSE works across any platform whether it’s PC/MAC/iPAD/Android
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.
FX 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.
