Complete with headphone out for silent practice, the Boss IR-2 covers all scenarios - all in a compact box that'll slot into any pedalboard.

 

Full Description

 

Guitar gear on-the-go

 

A huge arsenal of amps packed into a compact stomp. The IR-2's staggering 11 amp characters cover everything from sparkling clean British combos to screaming, high-gain stacks. And with the addition of an impressive 9 Celestion Digital IRs (including both classic and modern options), you'll be able to nail those tones that have been evading you all these years. It's ideal for any travelling guitarist - just plug into your chosen destination's PA system or mixing console and you're game on!

 

The Boss IR-2 puts an end to the nightmare of inconsistent backline setups. Your tones will always sound just as they should - your tones. So whether you're heading out for a gig, session, or jamming with friends, know that your trusty pedal is going to make sure you get heard in the best way possible.

 

Unlimited possibilities

You're not restricted to Celestion IRs - if you've got your ideal digital speaker setup nailed down already, then you can simply load it in via the USB-C interface and dedicated app.

 

Shape your sound with ease

The Boss IR-2 Amp Simulator and Impulse Response Loader offers the freedom of immediate sound creation. Equipped with an intuitive interface, initiating play is a matter of seconds. All you need to do is select your preferred amp type and fine-tune the sound using traditional amp-style controls.

 

To add an element of roominess and depth to your output, the Ambience knob allows for slight adjustment. The compatibility of the IR-2 extends to other pedals, which can be directly plugged into its input, similar to any conventional amp. To elevate your sonic experience, the send/return loop lets you incorporate modulation, delay, and reverb effects post the amp sounds. Plus, the TRS return jack supports stereo functionality, thereby facilitating the passage of stereo effects to the IR-2’s audio outputs.

 

Covered for any performance scenario

Whether you're practicing, performing, or recording, the IR-2 is your ideal partner for powering your sound. With its versatile and comprehensive connectivity options, you're guaranteed to have a seamless experience in any performance scenario. Its compact size also makes it easy to transport and integrate into any setup, giving you the freedom to focus on your music without worrying about technical difficulties.

 

Recommened accessories

Need help completing your setup? These Boss products are an excellent addition to the IR-2 and can help perfect your rig.

 

For powering the IR-2, we recommend the PSA Series AC Adaptor, a reliable source of consistent power.

 

To power multiple pedals simultaneously, consider getting the PCS-20A Parallel DC Cord. For additional control over your performance, the FS-5U Footswitch, or even the dual FS-6 / FS-7 footswitch, can be a valuable addition.

 

To ensure the signal integrity from your guitar to the IR-2, and from the IR-2 to your amplifier or audio interface, choose our high-quality BIC-Series Instrument Cables. For setting up your pedalboard, we recommend the BCK Series Pedalboard Patch Cables, designed specifically for high-density setups.

 

Speaking of pedalboards, the BOSS BCB Series Pedalboard offers a robust, easy-to-setup solution to organise your pedals, including the IR-2, for quick setup and teardown.
