Boss IR-2 Amp Sim & IR Cabinet Pedal

Introducing the Boss IR-2 Amp Sim & IR Cabinet Pedal—an essential addition to your rig, delivering consistent tones across various performance situations. This compact pedal ensures that your signature sound shines through, whether you're plugged into a house PA, recording setup, or practicing silently with headphones. Packed with 11 premium amp sims and Celestion Digital IRs, the IR-2 brings studio-grade tones to stages, studios, and rehearsal rooms.

The IR-2 captures the inspiring sounds of 11 classic tube amps and mic'd speaker cabinets (see Table below), all within a standard stompbox footprint. With Boss's decades of tone expertise, each selection delivers the expressive nuance and dynamic touch response of a real amp and cabinet. The pedal features advanced DSP, 32-bit floating-point processing, and a 96 kHz sampling rate for impeccable audio quality.

This pedal offers versatility with a range of amp flavors, from famous tube combos to vintage and modern stacks. Original Boss amps, including a high-gain Brown type from the Katana series, are also included. The intuitive interface allows you to select an amp type and tweak the sound with familiar controls, and the Ambience knob adds natural spaciousness and depth.

The IR-2 is not just for stage performances—it expands your pedalboard's versatility. With headphone connectivity, it becomes a perfect practice companion, allowing top-quality guitar tones in any setting. Connect it to a house PA for consistent stage sound or use it as an interface for recording directly to music software via USB-C.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we like the Boss IR-2 for its exceptional audio quality, ease of use, and the ability to provide pro-level guitar sounds on the go.
