Boss IR-2 Amp & Cabinet Simulator and IR Loader

General

Following up on the IR-200, BOSS present the IR-2 Amp & Cabinet: an equally potent amp-simulator-and-impulse-response-loader stuffed carefully into a classic-and-compact pedal housing. Made for guitarists who basically want to tweak less and play more, this smart bit of kit is amazingly intuitive to control and easy to set up.

The IR-2: Authentic Amp Sound

Doing away with the need to lug a hefty amp head, speaker cabinet and instrument microphone around, this BOSS stompbox can be plugged directly into a live PA system, rehearsal space speaker system or studio audio interface. The built-in amp section gives you the pick of eleven different amps, ranging from natural cleans to extreme high-gain sounds to cover virtually every style and, to guarantee ultra-convincing tone, BOSS have turned to none other than Celestion Digital so each amp is voiced by the most authentic impulse response possible.

Load Custom IRs, Switch Between Amps and Up the Ambiance with Ease

On top of all of the above, the BOSS IR-2 Amp & Cabinet supports the IR-2 IR Loader app for macOS and Windows which means you're free to upload your own mono IRs via the fitted USB-C port. Meanwhile, switching between two different amps is as simple as tapping the footswitch, and to bypass the pedal altogether, you just press and hold the footswitch. The IR-2 even features an internal FX loop complete with a stereo return input, and has been packed with not one but three reverbs that can be accessed via the Ambiance pot. Staying in to practice? Plug in your headphones and noodle it up in private.
