Boss IR-2

The Boss IR-2 Pedal allows you to deliver your distinctive sound directly to a PA system or recording setup whenever YOU need it.

At the heart of the IR-2, YOU'll find a selection of eleven high-quality amp types paired with top-notch speaker simulations (IRs) from Celestion Digital. The device offers straightforward controls for Level, Gain, Bass, Mid, and Treble. Additionally, there's an Ambience effect to add spatial depth to YOUR tone.

The Boss IR-2's mono/stereo loop allows for integrating effects after the amp emulation, which is especially useful if YOU want to use modulation, delay, or reverb effects. There's also a headphone jack for quiet practice or monitoring.

Integration with music software is facilitated by the USB-C connection, providing options for recording and audio playback on computers or iOS devices. YOU can also load your own cabinet IRs through the dedicated IR-2 IR Loader App (for macOS/Windows). A unique feature is the ability to switch between two amp/cabinet tones using the pedal switch or an external footswitch.

The Boss IR-2 is not only a tool for shaping sound but also an investment in reliability and quality. The build quality and components are of high quality, backed by Boss's five-year warranty. Furthermore, the device can be used independently as an amplifier or cabinet simulator, adding another layer of flexibility.

The Boss pedal offers exceptional audio quality, a variety of options for sound shaping, and practical features for live and studio applications. It is an essential tool for guitarists looking for a reliable, versatile, and user-friendly pedal that enhances their sound in any situation.
