Boss IR-2 Amp & IR Cabinet Pedal

Description

The Boss IR‑2 packs full amp‑modeling and cabinet simulation into the classic Boss compact pedal format, giving guitarists a complete direct‑to‑PA or direct‑to‑recording solution that fits on any pedalboard. Powered by AIRD technology, the IR‑2 delivers the dynamic feel and response of real tube amps, with 11 amp types ranging from sparkling American cleans to British crunch, boutique overdrive, and modern high‑gain.

Each amp is paired with a matched impulse response cabinet, captured by Celestion for authentic speaker tone. Players can also load their own IRs via USB‑C, making the IR‑2 a flexible tool for any rig. The pedal includes stereo outputs, headphone monitoring, USB‑C audio interface functionality, and a dedicated effects loop, allowing seamless integration with drives, modulations, delays, and reverbs.

Whether you’re running silent stage setups, recording at home, or building a compact fly‑rig, the IR‑2 delivers professional amp tone with zero fuss — just plug in, choose an amp, and play.
