Can you use overdrive snd distortion pedals with this as in an amp. If so how is the tone?

I bought the Strymon to allow for a direct connect into the PA system. It works with all my pedals, but I don't use my distortion anymore. I use the Marshall setting and boost the drive and it works fine for what we play when I need that punch.

What do you gear guys recommend. Iridium or Simplifier. I’d rather pay extra 100 for better tone?

I know nothing about the Simplifier. However, I can tell you I'm a purist when it comes to tone. I swear by tube amps and have been playing through them for years. The Iridium has incredible tone in all the amp and cabinet combinations. I owned a 65 fender deluxe which I kick myself for selling. The iridium sounds and feels like I'm blowing through my old deluxe. I never thought I'd say this but I've rediscovered my pedals(not a big pedal guy) I put together a pedal board that'd with the Iridium I'd feel great about plugging directly through the PA and not hauling am amp. I haven't played out since March 2020 so using it more for recording. I was just telling my buddy no way could I play through my tube amps here recording as loud as I would need to to capture the tone I'm getting with the Iridium and head phones. So there you have it however long winded. It's changed my whole approach and point of view on all this tube vs solid state conversion. The technology now is amazing.

Can it be as a active loader( like two notes torpedo c.a.b)? connected it after a amp head then input to record interface?

This device does not have a speaker input, meaning, it cannot take the speaker output of an amplifier, and then process that into a mixing Consol, this takes a an input directly from a guitar, or guitar pedal, and then can be inserted into a mixing console.
