The IR-2 features sounds of classic tube amplifiers and mic'd speaker cabinets in a compact standard pedal, providing you with easy access to studio-quality tones on stage, during fly dates, recording sessions, and practice moments. Thanks to decades of BOSS expertise, every selection guarantees the same expressive nuances and dynamic touch response as a real amp and cabinet. The audio quality is also top-notch, thanks to advanced DSP, 32-bit floating-point processing, and a 96 kHz sample rate.
Inspiring tones for every genre
Eleven solid platforms create every type of guitar amplifier, from famous tube combos to vintage and modern stacks. There are also several original BOSS amps, including a high-gain Brown type derived from the Katana series. All the amps are complemented by Celestion Digital IR, giving you immediate access to complete tones in every aspect. If you prefer to use IR cab files from your collection, you can load them into the pedal via USB-C and a dedicated app.
Instant sound creation
With the intuitive interface of the IR-2, you'll be ready to play in seconds. Simply select the type of amp and modify the sound using the well-known amp-style controls. Then, use the Ambience knob to achieve natural spaciousness and depth if desired. You can connect your other pedals to the input of the IR-2, just as you would with an amplifier. If you want to take it further, use the send/return loop to connect modulation, delay, and reverb effects in the chain after the amp sound. The TRS return jack supports stereo operation, allowing you to pass stereo effects to the audio outputs of the IR-2.
