I’m pondering the potential benefit of an Ironman ii mini just so I can run my Orange lunchbox at 2 or 3 on the master (as I’ve been doing at band practice, at which level it seems very happy) rather than just off the stops.
At the moment I’ve been running a multi fx in the loop, and using the unit’s own output as a second master volume à la DSL40, which works better than simply running the amp’s master at 0.25 as it keeps the clarity - presumably due to decent buffering?
Just wondering if there would be a noticeable difference in response what with the Ironman mini’s frequency compensation et al? Or would it just sound the same as dropping the level in the loop as I’ve been doing? One advantage is that it would allow me to use individual pedals in the loop if I fancied.

I like mine but it’s not noticeably better to my ears than the THD and Marshall units I’ve had before. With some amps it has the affect of making them seem gain-ier than they are, and it definitely does something to the treble (dulls it IMO, which is odd because it has a presence cut option on it, suggesting in some use cases it adds top end).
Were I choosing now, I’d just get a powerbrake.
