I’m wondering if and/or how much an IR pedal can affect the guitar signal being sent to any of the commonly used vocal harmony pedals? Or even POG/ Sub n’ Up type octave pedals? I think it might be significant.

Anyone experience something similar with their IR pedal chains?

Perhaps this is worth testing with harmony, etc pedals that use guitar signals to generate a musical key?

Or maybe the IR pedal should always be at the END of the signal chain...? That would solve the awkward XLR output placement on the left side of the pedal. Hmm. But this defeats its purpose of being a DI, no? Especially for passive pickups.

An enigma wrapped in a riddle.
If you look at my channel my last concert stream with tens OMJM was using a lot of IR with a Fishman Matrix and the harmonies acted as expected.

Thanks Aaron. Always a pleasure listening to your material. I figured it wasn't the pedal or the IR but it was probably me. Haha
