BOSS IR-2 Amp & Cabinet | Premium Amp Emulator & Cabinet IR Loader | 11 Different Amp Types | Cab IRs from Celestion Digital | Simple User Interface | USB-C for Recording & Audio Playback

Only gave 4 stars coz I have only used it once. As a home recording tool it seems perfect. I’ve only tried the VOX AC30 voice so far and got a perfectly useable glassy jangle out of it. It’s got loads of headroom for effects pedals. I don’t know quite how Boss did it for the price. This will not be a pedal that would interest valve amp purists but, for the rest of us, chugging away in our garages and home studios, it saves an incredible amount of money that would have to be spent on the ‘real’ thing. By my rough estimate, if you bought just 3 of the 11 simulated amps (VOX AC 30, Fender Bassman, Marshall 100 watt stack), you’d be looking at about £4,000.

Tube amps are great when played loud enough and if you don't need to lift them, but this is not possible for all, hence we have plenty modellers on the market, however for someone like me it is too much options to go through. I do not need complex devices to tweak for hours, I want to play and this little GREAT boss has everything to do just that, 11 different amps, you can use it as interface, load your own ir's . This is not everything, you can plug in headphones for silent practice and it has effect loop. Isn't a great device ? for me it is, now I can focus on learning new things on guitar instead endlessly searching through modes. Boss IR-2 has 11 amps simulation to choose from, loop effect and it's so small I can have it right on my desk. If you want play more and tweak lees, this is solution. Thanks for reading.
