I don't have a bunch of effects pedals. What does it do without them — running straight into my Fender Vibro Champ Reverb?
beautiful intro sound.
Is it possible to model an auto wah sound effect and load it as an IR simulation for his Pedal
No built in Noise Gate?
Can I use this by running it into a clean amp and stacked it with distortion pedals?
hello. What do you think sounds better? ir2 or ir 200?
Nice demo! I've been using the ir2 for a year now! Always used valve amps throughout my career, but now I'm knocking on bit (old man!), I struggle with humping amps around! In a live situation the Boss IR2 sounds great through a decent pa. I use the 'clean' sound with pedals,overdrives straight through and delays, reverbs and modulations through the stereo loop. The IR2 goes through a Walrus Canvas, into the desk. Nearest thing I've used to a valve amp, and a hell of lot easier to carry, for me a definite win win result!!
So you have to buy 10 expensive pedals to make it sound good?
I'm only playing through a 10w vox pathfinder practice amp, is this worth buying ?
I own one and love it. Workd perfect as a preamp in the front of my pedal board. Use it to get "dumble" like voicing out of my deluxe as well.
Hot opening tracks as usual man !
That Lefty Paul is sweet man you best hold on to that one
You're the first person that demos the thing correctly you've got the mic cut off real quick when you're playing and then cut get back on to speak I'm curious what you're listening to it through listening to it through
I dig your smile at the end of the intro you know that was some pretty good stuff
For the money you can't even come close.
Have you played it into a PA? Any background hum and noise?
How do u actually use this pedal? Pedals into it then into mixer desk or ???
There's no point in hearing all of this with all that reverb
I have this pedal and I love it! I feel like most people who had one and sold it never really messed with loading in IR's to it. Bought a laney IR for it and it sounds fantastic!
Wasn't there an amp company called "Diamond"???
6:43 I can't help but notice how much Ponyboy looks like Bojack Horseman
Great video, Shane.
I agree on your point about the stacked pots and the cramped layout. I just catch myself turning the wrong part of the knobs from time to time. ????
Although I think a big part about this pedal, that you didn’t really touch on, is the impulse response part. The stock celestion impulse responses just aren’t amazing on all the amp models. I had an issue with all the same amps you seemed to not enjoy too. But at least for the Soldano and the Rectifier, once I replaced the impulses with the York Audio Mesa 212 pack, they came alive instantly. As for the vox, I usually only use the ac30 for chimey cleanish sounds, so this emulation of that isn’t really for me.
I know you might think “well, I shouldn’t have to change the IRs out of the box”.
And normally I’d agree, but since this has IR in its name I think it’s a major feature for this specific pedal.
is your hoodie in your store? .. i love to get one!!
Have you tried the line 6 pod express? Curious what you’d think of that as well
Would you say this was like a Katana preamp in a pedal? I'm just looking for a decent clean amp tone for starters. I was using a Katana mini amp as a preamp for my one man band set up (need compact and easy and direct) The boss mini is actually gives me amazing tone as a simple preamp, but is messy to set up as it only has a mine 8th inch output. I have a Katana 100 and love it. I am trying to find a pedal that sounds as good as the Katana mini to use as a direct preamp.
You should try the IR-200 if you want more control over the sound.
I don't know about how it feels to play but it all sounds pretty good.
Bought it few days ago, it worked for two days then, all of a sudden all I can hear is a low volume clean sound on all amps. Returned it immediately. I think it needs a huge revision for the size they offered. I,m sticking to my boss katana 50 mkii ex. I love it.
I wish it had Matchless modeling from Boss GT-1000. Other than that I love its versatility.
Great demo and lovely jam. Kudos.
My favorite pedal purchase over the past year. The ability to load in your own IRs is huge. Solid playing. ????????
Hi there, thanks for a great vid. I’m wondering if the level knob can be used like a master volume, allowing more or less headroom in a live PA mix? Thanks.
Thank you In the Blues – popped out to score an OLD Ashton 40w BA4012 Bass amp for $50 for learning bass on MY nice SX bass that will do but…
He handed me a PEAVEY BANDIT 112 and it goes for nothing (ZERO $) and a couple of practice amps – TEAL STRIPE – MADE IN USA – No Complain
Just had a week play – I am liking it -$25 and amp leaves me budget for a RED STRIPE – thank u – thank u – Best blues channel
I liked a couple of presets. I won't say which ones now, because I don't remember. But so – plastic is plastic, judging by the sound. )
So it goes!
Has some usable sounds but man that Vox sounds horrible.
1990 – this sounds just like a real amp!
2005 – this sounds just like a real amp!
2020 – this sounds just like a real amp!
3287 – this sounds just like a real amp!
I think the best way to use this is with stacking pedals into the clean amp. It sounds pretty great when paired with overdrives
Hard pass. Sounds like a Line 6
I heard that you need to swap out the boss supplied IR's for better quality ones and then it shines….
I use the Strymon Iridium to record and getting the Strymon Flint for matching reverb and tremolo is a big spend. That being said the 3 amp styles they offer sound very realistic and respond to playing the same as an amp – no fizzy failures and you can see and manipulate the controls easily.
Almost 30 years into digital guitar modeling and still the cleans are nice but the distorted sounds aren't quite there.
If you are picky I guess you have to either pony up for the really high end digital stuff or stick with tubes.
Too many digital artefacts on this for me. I just reminds me why digital pedals just can't cut it against a valve amp. These things are just a novelty.
If you want everything laid out instead of compact, buy the IR-200 ????
