Boss IR-2

Boss IR-2 is a guitar pedal with 11 amp and cabinet IR models, an effects loop, a headphone output, and model loading via USB-C.

The IR-2 offers 11 premium amplifiers paired with Celestion Digital cabinet impulse responses. Each amp model conveys expressive nuances and the dynamic response of a real amplifier and cabinet. High-quality sound is ensured by advanced DSP, 32-bit floating-point processing, and a 96 kHz sampling rate. If you prefer to use your own cabinet models, you can load them via USB-C and a dedicated app.

You can connect other pedals to the IR-2 input like a regular amplifier or use the effects loop to add modulation, delay, and reverb after the amplifier sound. Playing audio from a computer or mobile device is supported via USB-C, allowing you to jam along to songs from your music library. If you need more than one tone during performances, you can switch between two IR-2 amp/cabinet configurations with a pedal footswitch or an external pedal. Send the sound of your entire rig directly to music recording software via the USB-C port.
