IR-2
$199.99Reference price
A compact pedal that unites an amp simulator and a cabinet IR loader. It carries 11 sounds pairing a variety of amps with high-quality Celestion Digital cabinet IRs. Placed at the end of a pedalboard, it functions as the amp itself, enabling a consistent tone across the stage, home practice, and recording.
An amp simulator and IR loader that lives at your feet
Combining an amp simulator and cabinet IR loader in a single unit, it takes on the role of the amp when placed at the end of a pedalboard. It runs at a 96kHz sampling rate with 32-bit float internal processing, in a design aimed at keeping the same tone as environments change.
11 amp types with Celestion Digital IRs
It offers 11 amp types from clean and crunch to modern high-gain stacks, each preset with a Celestion Digital cabinet IR. Switching amp types changes not only the tone but also the playing feel, and your own IR data can be loaded through the dedicated app.
The same operating feel as an amp
Sound shaping follows an amp-style layout of LEVEL, GAIN, TREBLE, MIDDLE, and BASS knobs, while the AMBIENCE knob adds natural ambience. SEND/RETURN jacks integrate external effects such as delay and modulation, with the RETURN supporting stereo input.
Use with any output destination
It supports home practice through the PHONES jack, direct output to a PA from the OUTPUT jacks, and recording over a USB Type-C connection. Two sounds can be switched mid-performance with the onboard or an external footswitch.
