This demo sounds great.
I watched the Dave and Sammy one earlier, but what I think is audio clipping kinda ruins the demo.
As a former owner of both a Dirty Shirley and Twin Sister, I still think I would go the route of the IR-X.
I think, if this makes sense, the gain is clearer with the IR-X?
Honestly, not sure how to articulate what I am hearing with the IR-D gain? I dont want to call it muffled.
IR-X to me is a touch more aggressive and clear (again, not sure how to describe the gain) but can be rolled back.
Plexi setting.
I don't think I'd want to "chug" with the IR-D over the IR-X...

I really dig this thing. I like it more than my IR-X I used to have. I think the overall gain structure of the IR-D is more flexible also. Great low gain crunch and IMO better higher gain sounds too.
It sounds really good through my powerstation and splawn cab too. (Again, better than the IR-X in that regard)

I went on a video hiatus for a while mainly because I was just happily gigging with an axeFX III for about a year then downsized to my FM3 for another year and didn't really buy anything new.
I decided to shake things up and grabbed quite a few things and then ZZounds hit me up to do gear demos with them so all of a sudden, I've been spending a lot more time trying out new stuff.
On one hand it's really great to be able to test out new stuff at every show but on the other hand, it's a different sound every time I'm up there and as primarily an IEM user, it can be kinda wierd hearing something completely new at every show. I do miss the consistency but it's busted me out of the same old same old gear rut. (not that I was suffering with the FM3, far from it)
