03In depth

Sound, Phrases and Stomp Box Tone

IRON 2 offers 30 styles with more than 350 phrases, ranging from subtly distorted tones to aggressive rock sounds. UJAM notes that the phrases were sampled from a top session musician. For heavier parts, Drop D tuning and doubling modes are included.

The 30 stomp box combinations are pre-amp, so the amp and speaker section reacts dynamically to your input. Wah, delay, chorus and reverb are among the classic effects covered. The 60 Finisher FX modes add post-amp processing such as ambiences.

Workflow and Band Integration

The interface is designed so you can record guitar tracks quickly without deep guitar knowledge. Instrument mode lets you play your own riffs with the freshly recorded samples.

UJAM states that IRON works with its Virtual Bassist ROWDY and Virtual Drummer BRUTE, so a rock backline can be built within the same ecosystem.
