BOSS IR-2 Amplifier and Cabinet Emulation Pedal
Get consistent tones no matter the playing venue with the IR-2 Amp and Cab Pedal from BOSS, which emulates 11 premium amplifier and cabinet combinations, from crunchy vintage tube amps to modern high-gain stacks, so you always have a signature sound on hand. With a wide array of Celestion Digital IRs, 3-band EQ, and a dedicated Ambience control for dialing in the perfect amount of space, you'll get a perfect tone for any style, every time.
96 kHz sampling and 32-bit float DSP ensures a smooth, natural sound. The onboard USB-C connection facilitates DI recording and playback with DAWs and the loading of custom IRs of your own via the IR-2 IR Loader app. I/O is versatile enough for any occasion, with stereo outputs and an FX loop for fitting your virtual amp and cab into your existing pedalboard setup, plus you get a dedicated external footswitch input and a headphone output for practice. The IR-2 includes a 9V battery to get you started.
The amps are all paired with curated Celestion Digital IRs for dialing up polished sounds right away. If you prefer to use cab IRs from your own collection, you can load them into the pedal via USB-C and a dedicated app.

You can plug your other pedals into the IR-2's input, just like you would with an amp. If you want to go further, use the send/return loop to patch mod, delay, and reverb effects into the chain after the amp sounds. The 1/4" TRS return jack supports stereo operation, letting you pass stereo effects to the IR-2's audio outputs.
Or plug into your smartphone and capture inspiration on the move. You can monitor audio from the IR-2 and your software through headphones, eliminating the need to use a separate audio interface.
