BOSS IR-2 Amp & Cabinet Simulator – Pro Guitar Tone Anywhere

Studio-Grade Sound in Your Gig Bag

The BOSS IR-2 Amp & Cabinet Simulator gives guitarists a portable, professional solution for achieving consistent, record-ready tones anywhere. Whether you’re plugging straight into a PA, recording directly into your DAW, or practicing silently with headphones, the IR-2 delivers the feel and response of a miked tube amp in a compact stompbox.

With 11 premium amp types, each paired with Celestion Digital cabinet IRs, the IR-2 covers every style from sparkling cleans to high-gain firepower. Simple amp-style controls make it easy to dial in your tone, while onboard ambience adds natural depth without extra pedals.

Flexible for Stage, Studio, and Practice

• Stage Ready: Go direct to the house PA and get the same polished sound every night.
• Studio Friendly: Connect via USB-C to record high-quality tracks instantly.
• Practice Anywhere: Plug in headphones for quiet, inspiring practice with full amp feel.

A stereo effects loop lets you place delay, reverb, or modulation after the amp simulation for authentic signal chain flexibility. The pedal also supports loading your own cabinet IRs through the dedicated BOSS IR Loader app, giving you limitless tone options.
