Signal Chain:

Guitar Tuning: E♭, Drop C#

I've posted almost exactly thirteen (13) months ago about a handful of 'Irin' pedals which I got at a bundled offer that I really can NOT turn down, as shown on the link below. Unfortunately, I'm still yet to make a demo of the ones with larger footprint due to obligations at work. And to top it off, the last time i played guitar was also when I uploaded my 'Mosky Ch-Vibe' demo (30AUG24). So, that also adds to the laziness in doing a demo 'coz i got to proverbially "sharpen my claws" & just basically stretch out those aging joints all over again prior to making another one...

But, just recently, I caught wind of one of their 'siblings' being let go at a price that i can NOT say 'no' to either as well. So, I took the opportunity to add that one up into my collection immediately & obliged myself to swiftly make another demo just so I also got something new to serve for 2025 & for the heck of it - straight off the packet.

For direct monitoring from the 'cube baby', I'm using an ATH-M20X headphones by Audio Technica. However, a parallel out also directly coming from the 'cube baby' itself goes to the audio input of my phone, which is just an old Samsung J6+ unit. And, upon transferring the 'ATH' into the 'J6' for previewing, there really isn't much variance at all. BUT, soon as I've watched the file/video from my desktop, which drives a pair of Bose Companion 2 Series II monitors, the discrepancies in audio quality is fairly large. Apparently, the 'ATH' trumps the 'companions' this time around, though.

Hence, quite likely, the tone you'll be hearing from your end may not give justice to how I've heard the pedal when i had it tested through my own system.
