Using only the factory IRs (144 Boss + 10 Celesion) there would be 11,935 combinations of any two in stereo (its the sum 154+153+152...etc). Plus any of the 154 individually in mono = 12,089 IR combinations x 8 amps = 96,712 total possible amp and IR combinations in either mono or stereo. If you played each one for one minute, for 8 hours a day, it would take 202 days to get through all of them.

[@RabeaMassaad]

THIS is what I meant! Hahahah thank you for making the effort there!

[@veerchasm1]

You are the Rain Man of IR’s…definitely 😉

[@stoneysdead689]

@@veerchasm1 LOL_ Nope, he just understands 8th grade math. You learned this in the 8th grade or somewhere near abouts yourself- if you graduated high school in the US anyway- but like most ppl, you probably don't remember.

[@shuster1921]

Math Buzz Kill🤣

[@JoeFic9997]

Came here to say this! #Amps x #Cabs x #Ambients = total base combinations And they can be multiplied by the number of tone modifications as well

[@danarmstrong8404]

This is basically a must have. A tiny box of all the amps you could ever want, with limitless cab possibilities. It’s way ahead of the competition.

[@florenttenryu5011]

Thank you Rabea ! I love your playing and i'm looking for this kind of device. Always a pleasure to hear from you

[@jamesfafrak7288]

Always love watching your videos your playing is both awesome and inspiring to watch.

[@waderamer2020]

Sweet!... Really diggin that Boss.🤘🤘 that natural tone is great. Thnx for the demo bro

[@timmoretti73]

Great Video Rabea I always enjoy watching your product review videos

[@emiliobertoli]

Thanks for all the captures and profiles you made for QC!!! Thanks Sir!!!!

[@jhagenseker]

Bea wtf?! How do you make EVERYTHING sound so good?!?! You are by far my favorite guitarist and I have spent many a dollar on your recommendations. Well done sir!

[@stevensrp2music985]

Bro I’ve been waiting for this!

[@EasyHeat]

Once again?! Yoshi knocks it right out of the park. Fantastic demo Bea! Cheers!

[@Doug5524]

I think that Rabea done a great job on this pedal thank you

[@markconger8049]

I’ve watched pretty much all the IR-200 reviews on KZbin and am stunned at the features. I’d love to see a video(s) on using it as an audio interface, a cab/mic only solution for a physical amp, and maybe even how to make your own IR.

[@lucaskaiser1409]

Thanks a lot for the review. I hope we will be able to update/upgrade these new amps and IRs to our GT-1000, too...

[@martinwillemse4192]

The Post-EQ Setup improved my Sound!! Thais you for the tip👍🤓👍

[@CarlGtSmith]

There are many IR products on the market, but I think DYNAX IR has the best sound. As stated in their product description, DYNAX IR is really fast. When using IRs, the pick attack is sometimes delayed, and it is difficult to add picking nuances, but their IR prevents all of that. It's revolutionary!

[@ROKZLEON]

Super helpful demo!!! Thanks man!!!

[@davidramos4317]

I own this and can confirm it’s the best digital modeler and it’s built so well

[@M00nkat55]

I just got my IR-200 and am still studying how to use it best. This video is quite helpful

[@damonkatos4271]

I needed this like 14 years ago

[@theauthenticsteve]

I got the feeling that cab spread thing could be a great studio feature from a productivity standpoint. To me it seemed like it had the potential to replace double tracking rhythm tracks and then may be used to get the lead to sit perfectly in the mix. I imagine any professional producer would hate it but I can definitely see some use cases there.

[@adamkollarSOOT]

from 19:54 starting something beauty again! Great respect golden hand!

[@VanjaSpirin]

You play well, an you are nice person. Also, very competent reviews.

[@ssdravidian]

Great, another pedal i MUST have !!!!

[@hankthewolf8395]

Bought one of these because of this awesome tutorial and love it! One thing to keep in mind if you’re using this with headphones, go into the menus and turn off “Surround” on the headphones output. It baffled me for a half hour that when I turned the ambience down or off why I still heard it. Apparently the knob for that doesn’t doing anything if the headphone surround is engaged. If you’re plugged into a board it’s fine but headphones it’s active. Weird…

[@macshebly4330]

Hay Rabeea it sound freaking awesome that boss pedal mate.

[@DamianS1893]

I've placed this on my New Gear Purchase List

[@kiko2129]

I can't wait for your video on the synth

[@wehappyfewmusic]

Excellent review, great features and I really liked the natural IR. I was almost ready to pre order one, but the high gain settings put me off a bit as were a bit to compressed and lacked a bit of low end warmth. I look forward to hearing some more user reviews once it’s released.

[@ricardoraulino-guitar]

Gorgeous guitar! Fantastic tone!

[@phenixreturns]

try a tube preamp pedal : so much dynamic ! warm tone you can't have here

Great vid, Bea! Thanks. Would love someone do a video of using this pedal like a real amp....pedals in front. I know you put a fuzz, but I'd like to hear clean channel with a pedal in front or how are the dynamics of the Amps in it. Thank you very much. Loved the video as always!

[@jimshannon2661]

Dude is a monster player!

[@stephanzobeley9443]

Hi Rabea, thx as always for the excellent review. How's the processing delay/latency on this thing ?

[@jips123]

I have the Strymon Iridium but this is very nice also.

[@LeBoun64]

Great test. I like that you mentioned you have been paid fir this. I would have liked to see 2 inputs for my stereo rig.

[@AntonovichHicksenbrau]

I LOVE that Tele

[@terryeaster1]

Love your studio, looks like the attic of a church. Thanks for the review

[@mikeroadblock]

I like how the iridium is so simple.

[@tombundick1536]

That guitar, though. It’s beautiful. IR 200 sounds great too. Thanks, Rabea!

[@waldo13ification]

They all have similarities 😂. exactly how it sounded at this end too.

[@LeBoun64]

Agree !!😂

[@markconger8049]

Rabea - my wife and I are about to start learning guitar and I want to get a decent little modeler for our initial setup. The IR-200 seems ideal for it but it isn’t available until January and I think the demand plus the chip shortages worldwide will squeeze supply pretty hard. BUT, for not so much more money the GT-1000Core is available now. I watched your review of it recently and love it. Question: is the GT-1000Core and IR-200 approximately the same or is the IR-200 better, or is it not better? Thanks

[@VelhosNovos]

Great tone and Tele!

[@katsumotoamaya6540]

I like the IR-200, but I love the ML3 Bea. 😍

[@therewasascene]

That reverse headstock…

[@Johnny-oy9fh]

Sounds great

[@bostonpickman4169]

Nice vid as always. You gonna make a video on the SY-200 as well?

[@jamdalf4343]

Sounds great Rabea, Line 6 better be working on something like an awesome AF Spider VI or a Helix Go to compete with this, lol!

[@jasonleespyder1706]

Thank u so much !

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

I have so many Boss pedals, should I buy another one? lol Loving the playing as usual dude. You're the reason I am here.

[@nicholaskillmeier4895]

Can you set it up to run the preamp of a model only? As in, pre-amp in a box for a GCX type of rig if you have a high gain amp and dont like the clean channel on it, run this in the amp's effects loop instead for your clean channel.

[@paultoczylowski997]

I ORDER ONE BASED ON YOUR REVIEW. IT WAS VERY GOOD THANK U IT WILL REPLACE MY FAILING LINE 6 HD500 X THANKS

[@ElcanaldeReyesManuel]

gracias por tu revisión

[@nameless2340]

Hi Rabea. How do you rate this compared to using a real amplifier and using an attenuator/ speaker sim such as two notes captor? I know you liked the later.

[@ScottGailor]

Damm, now I need this

[@jasonneri1063]

I love this channel great job with all products. The Boss-IR-200 I might have missed the comment can the pedal go direct to powered speakers

[@jordanzylstra7913]

The outputs are high impedance so a DI box would be the safe way of doing that. Designed to go into an audio interface. I’ve been trying to dig up the answers to this same question.

[@JoeFic9997]

Thanks for a great review, I will definitely be checking out the IR 200

[@Gabetorres1976]

Can you hook up Overdrive pedals pre IR-200 and effect pedals via the effects loop and all the pedal sounds will carry over to the computer?

[@chrissavage1534]

This seems to sound a lot better than the Iridium

[@robertlewis5439]

Lots of options to this. With just the cab IRs (282) and amp models (11), you're looking at over 3000 combinations, double that if you go stereo. How many of those 3000+ combos work together is another story to tell.

[@hugotyson308]

This could be really good paired up with one of Boss's DD-200 Delay and MD-200 Modulation Pedals in the loop, a midi controller footswitch and an overdrive or two plus a compressor in front. For a compact pedalboard rig with a huge selection of tones and effects.

[@mitahapsari4960]

Can any of the two output be set to "thru" to bypass the pedal to pass the signal to amp(to front, not fx return) ? I'd like to know how to set 1 direct 1 amp output scenario on this pedal.

[@hanovergreen4091]

Best Regards man!

[@KateLynnBeatty]

It is nice to see more of this type of unit in the $500 range....Headrush has a unit....Humbolt .....and Strymon Iridium.....each has its pluses and minuses.....I am waiting for sound comparison between this boss unit and the Headrush MX5.....both have stereo effects loop....both have aux in and headphones ....if i had to guess....boss will be more "audiophile" sound with the ease of use going to the MX5....but let's see

[@theflipflopman2259]

What bridge pickup is that in your tele? Any sweetening to the wiring?

[@ryleuty]

Was this recorded through your audio interface, or using the pedal as an interface?

[@gibson2623]

Did you say Fuzz? where? LOL ;) Great video as usual. Thx mate ;)

[@andysheppard7763]

Great video & demo - but I'd really like to see some coverage of using this for bass.

[@phenixreturns]

great promo lol just marketing

[@Gayamongusballs]

Hey Bea Thanks again for a great review. Will this work with a line out send from my amps and bypass the amps in the pedal?

[@metootube30]

Yes it works… but don’t forget to use a load for your amp (plug in a speaker)

[@ArenaPAsys]

Any idea how the 1 plug Stereo Return works? I have a Boss DD-200/Golden Reverberator and do I need a separate Y shaped TS-to-TRS connector to get the most out of their stereo functions?

[@yzimsx]

Are the amp models _significantly_ better than the Zoom G1 FOUR, which costs 20% of the price of the Boss IR-200?

[@benjaminkoskinen5835]

Can you get stereo in (pedalboard) and stereo out from the ir-200? Before potentially getting this I would like to make sure I can get the wet effects before this go stereo 👐🏼

[@slash196]

What delay were you using for the intro? Was that the Microcosm?

[@gradeaclassholes7814]

Rebbea, you may have covered this in the video but can you bypass the irs and just use the cab sim? Say- to send the duchess v4 to front of house?

[@ricklaurens5884]

I am using: FX > preamp > stereo FX > poweramp > cab. Problem is micing it in a live situation (too much other stuff comes bleeding through the mic). I am wondering if I can put the IR-200 in between the FX and the poweramp. What are thoughts on that?

[@federicofrigola4108]

Hi Bea, from Italy! I was curious if in the near future you'll review the Mezzabarba amp, i live near the "factory" so i'm really intrigued on what you think of it. As always great video and tones, Cheers!

[@GuitarNerd-xu6fm]

He has a review of it up on his channel

[@federicofrigola4108]

@@GuitarNerd-xu6fm Oh, thank you!! Strange that i've missed that review since i watch basically all Rabea videos. Thank you again

[@jackjackdaw5065]

I would totally go for a Boss compact version for £150.

[@tanguydelooz2881]

Yes with a TRS loop and the 1 footswitch for toggling between clean/dirty amp. So a pedal that's always on a soon as you plug it in because there's no reason you would want to footswitch it off while playing. And the clean/dirty footswitch would save you the need of an additional drive pedal on a very small board (e.g. nano+ pedalboard). However, I believe such a simple pedal could be done with a fully analog signalpath, just filters and gain. I hope one day Boss does that because why go digital when you don't need to to sound great.

[@johnerodz7]

Hi Buddy Great video so How do you connect to FOH like at church no amp I play with in ears Please let me know thank you and God bless you

[@johnevans1453]

D20/G20 vs IR200? THANKS Rabea!😃

[@dasczwo]

Awesome bea. But i think i get myself an old flyrig instead! Too many options

[@WillCareyisfunny]

For live shows would I be able to put this on a pedal board with some basic pedals and go direct into front of house? If I’m using the house backline could I get all my sounds from this? Trying to decide between this and a torpedo cab m

[@patrickcarroll1754]

Forgive me if this has already been answered, but can this be used or uploaded to an HX Stomp block?

[@entropynebula606]

Is the stereo return in the effects loop a trs connection or two ts? Looks awesome either way. We're you running the effects back in stereo? On the setting screen it looked mono ret.

[@spudw2k]

It is a trs jack on the fx return.

[@jameshalbert181]

Let's say I'm set up in stereo, and the sound guy can't give me 2 channels. Will this sum to mono?

[@crustyapplejack2609]

Hey can anyone confirm that this bad boy used as an interface records in stereo or only mono? Thanks!

[@arigunawan8685]

i have question sir, about the sound only, do you prefer to choose acs1 or ir200?

[@WalterBranky]

Hi I'd like to know what effects the Ir200 has exactly. I read it has modulation effects such as flanger, reverb and chorus. But what else? I couldn't find this info anywhere!

[@jabez1409]

Using this LIVE, with NO amp, straight to mixer, would I still need to plug this into a DI BOX?

[@sgtitters]

Is this better than the Sansamp GT2 that I'm thinking about rebuying?

[@shoseinen]

Bea, do yo know if the Boss IR200 can do Convolution reverb??

[@ChippsChippendale]

As a fellow attic dweller... How often do you smack your head on the ceiling?

[@semiforte]

Hey there - great video. I still just wonder: could I use it like an ir loader only and feed it with a line out of a tube amp? Or even send the speaker out of a tube amp through and end in a dummy load?

[@SergeiVlassov]

Yes

[@r3dh34d32]

I'd have a suggestion for the reaction videos that you've done before: Delain - Combustion Would love it

[@jarrusjenkins]

Any audio product that has an EQ or something that allows you to change the sound, I'd say it demands that you tweak it! IMO it makes it a bit more personal I think... so powerful eq coupled with 100+ cab presets AND the ability to add more if you choose? Hell yes!

[@alexreever5788]

Can you run this into a power amp and use it as a preamp

[@zealousguitar]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@WutipongWongsakuldej]

I'm going to replace my GT-100 real soon (been thinking about this for years). Now I have to choose whether I'd get a Helix or just get one of these and put it on my pedal board instead.

[@WutipongWongsakuldej]

updates: I've got a Helix now :). I might also buy this later as a part of my mobile pedal board (both Helix and GT-100 are too heavy for my rehearsal uses).

[@fedboy21]

Im a new user and kind a bit confuse to how to run stereo. Where is ur output A and B goes in this video?? Is it the ir 200 make ur stereo rigs or the time based fx??

[@Foxywaterable]

Man I hate to be that guy but here it is…. These all sound fucking amazing

[@jeshely]

To my ears sounds different and more to my liking than the GT-1000. I guess it really is totally different technology. If I already have a favorite pedal board and want a solution that could both easily go direct to front of house or to an FRFR monitor this could serve that purpose I guess.

[@zolwikwkurwik]

No XLR out? Are these out jack balanced?

[@Mesa3077Boogie]

Can it go straight to an effects loop as the pre amp?

[@ShaighJosephson]

A 500 series with extensive compression control would work for me...
