Frequently asked questions
Can I use either amp for silent recording at home?
The Loudpedal Ironheart offers speaker-emulated direct output via balanced XLR and USB-C for direct-to-console recording. The IRF Dualtop includes a cabinet-emulated headphone socket specifically for silent practice and recording. Both support headphone-free recording through their respective outputs.
Which amp is better for touring and transport?
The Loudpedal Ironheart weighs only 3.7 lbs and measures 7.8" x 5.6", making it ideal for compact pedalboard integration. The IRF Dualtop (7" x 14.8" x 7.2") is also portable but follows traditional amp head proportions. Choose the Ironheart if you already use a large pedalboard; choose the IRF Dualtop if you prefer standalone amp operation.
What's the key difference in channel design between these amps?
The Loudpedal Ironheart features a clean channel with symmetrical/asymmetrical clipping options and a drive channel with three voicing selections (bright, natural, dark). The IRF Dualtop provides two independent channels with individual gain and volume controls plus a unified 3-band passive EQ. The Ironheart offers more granular per-channel tone control; the IRF Dualtop emphasizes channel independence with shared EQ.
Can I scale the wattage on either amp?
The IRF Dualtop features variable wattage scaling from 100% down to less than 1%, allowing precise power adjustment for any venue. The Loudpedal Ironheart provides 60 watts RMS with no variable wattage option. Choose the IRF Dualtop if you need adaptive power across different performance spaces.
