iRig Stomp I/O: Greg Koch Live from the IK Amp Room

www.irigstompio...
Master guitarist Greg Koch visited IK headquarters in Modena, Italy and feasted on iRig Stomp I/O's amazing guitar tone and the incredible and realistic guitar gear in AmpliTube.
Watch as Greg adeptly works his way through presets with supreme control over the amps and effects of AmpliTube while retaining the true tone of his instrument, all with iRig Stomp I/O. Greg shows off the true power of having a great audio interface with a robust controller coupled with the most realistic guitar software - just watch as he sculpts his tone with just the volume knob on his guitar.

[@charlieleonardo]

this man has to be one of the best guitar players in the whole world

[@MichaelLynMusic]

Who...besides myself....thinks Greg should have his own TV Show??

[@interfrastically]

Who... besides people who haven't ever seen him... DOESN'T think Greg should have his own show? The only problem would be keeping the typical "reality TV" scripted drama out of it. Just let him be himself: playing, joking, looking for guitars and amps and it would be FANTASTIC!! Damn, now I'm thinking of how awesome a Greg and Les Paul episode would have been if only it had happened when Les was still with us!

[@JamesGowan]

Greg was in my neck of the woods, East Texas, at Action Sound, plugging Fishman Electronics. He was phenomenal

[@keithclark2136]

5MIN EPISODE'S THEN MOVE ON THERE'S ALOT OF TALENT OUT THERE

[@therealjackfisher]

Are you trying to get him fired from IKm? 🤣👍

[@MikeJones-oe3do]

10 years ago we didnt even know what an ipad was, good time to be a musician.

[@MNGuitars]

Everything about this video is y I love Greg Koch, true master, showman, and comedian...sick products too!

[@MrPinkStrat]

Greg Koch must know Every Chord... Every Note ..Every Style Possible from the Top Frets to the Bottome Frets..Every technique humanly possible ..the man is just Awsesome

[@frantisca]

He is the reincarnation of Robert Johnson back from hell Mhouhahahahahaha (satanic laughter)

[@craigmaddenmusic3408]

No that's Ted greene

[@magnusoddsson8168]

check out guitar George..

[@SyntagmaStation]

“Savage musical congress.” Ahh. Omg. He never gets old, musically or comically.

[@mitchmalik8963]

Area Mann freakin genius, the guy.

[@thestump5272]

He's amazing and just keeps getting better and better. A pleasure to watch and learn.

[@donrutter6765]

My favorite guitarist.

[@asdjfklasdfjklasdfjk]

Everything Greg does is gold, pure golden goodness.

[@mwrable]

Not sure what the I-rig is about but Greg’s playing and amp room is fantastic!

[@mattsefton]

How could over 30 people dislike this video? Monster playing, monster sounds and monster personality...

[@kranick8094]

Ik multimedia should add these presets to Amplitube!

[@dannywoody5497]

Fabulous demonstration as always Greg

[@CristobalBragagnolo]

You Sr have just sold me one of those glorius invention

[@YesuAiNimen]

Greg could shit on a broken banjo in a wind tunnel and it would sound amazing.

[@andivax]

Greg is awesome!

[@ikmultimedia]

We think he's pretty darn awesome too

[@JeremyRayWilliams11]

Well I have got to say that this purchase was worth it. I did figure out a way to use it with my pc as a controller while using it with my ipad for fx control. The expression pedal does send MIDI CC out as well as the two extra expression connections. So using a USB to MIDI I/O cable from my pc to the Stomp I/O, I connected two extra amp clicker boxes to the extra expression connections. These transmit CC messages out of the MIDI out on the Stomp I/O to my pc as well as the Stomp I/O's expression pedal. BOOM! Got control to my PC Amplitube as well as my ipad version. A few caveats. #1 The four main stomp buttons do not transmit MIDI CC's while in ipad mode. They only control the ipad Amplitube. #2 The Stomp I/O expression controls both the ipad Amplitube as well as the pc Amplitube. Just FYI, the MIDI in on the Stomp I/O will let you send MIDI messages in to your ipad for control from your pc/mac. It is amazing. Once again IK Multimedia have made a great, fun, easy to use product. Thank you IK!! Only one request. An ASIO Driver for Windows. ASIO 4 ALL works good but a dedicated driver would be better.

[@Sebastianandthedeepbluemusic]

That made me smile. It’s about having FUN lol

[@Xenozenomusic]

IK emulations are one of the best out of them all. I use them often when i'm away from my reliable amp+mic.

[@bobrock9758]

Yeah as a beginner it’s made getting good tones so much easier, I won’t say it’s right on the money but it damn good.

[@IsaacVeronneauFamily]

Holy shit that demo on the Orange amp was oit of this world.

[@jeffreyjordan5325]

Good God dude...SOLD!

[@guitarboogie2]

Wow, never heard of this guy before. He is AMAZING! He'd deserve to be rich'n famous!!!

[@nacienlos70]

He must be pretty wealthy.

[@truetech4158]

Wow that was really very good. He's clearly almost as good as me.

[@mikestroud9969]

Guy is a great guitar player. Great video. 😎👍👌💪🎸🎸

[@b.rodclark7349]

WOW...that Boogie setting crunches HARD!

[@perihelion7798]

Greg: I learned nothing about the IRig, but I did learn you a hell of a guitar player. Thanks.

[@NGBlad]

Koch's an amazing talent!

[@TaylorWheeler]

IK's Emulation is reaaalllllly good, love this new concept - nice to get it out of Logic or your DAW and into reality and of course - gregs playing is face-meltingly good!!

[@qstudiomusicandproductions2695]

The show should be called Guitar Monster! An unscripted reality tv- with Greg’s comedic timing and way ‘beyond mere mortal’ chops. He just needs a side kick or two - perhaps a rhythm section 😄 I’d watch it! Oh yeah this and his others videos deserve two thumbs!

[@guitarplayerstowohio]

Greg: Need a new instrumental album from you!

[@lukex1337]

SBP thank you for recommending this song! It’s been on repeat all day, so good

[@alphasxsignal]

Im still using my StompiO pedal and Amplitube III,,, all works great. Now have the Amplitube 4 going too.

[@HalfApology]

This is awesome I can’t believe I haven’t seen this, this unit will blow a Kemper out of the water and a lot cheaper. Great work

[@texacomann]

Great playing!

[@GuitarAnthony]

No Atari? I'm out.

[@andy80sdrums]

LOL.

[@recombatant]

I love this guy.

[@ernzzz]

You can only get the double bent exorcism notes after your second soul sale..

[@slimturnpike]

[@goldtop54blues90]

Oh man, FIESTA RED TELE!....love it

[@bengibson3955]

Pissed off. I could only like it once. Beautiful expression.

[@MaestroZ]

Monster guitar player. Scary good.

[@MikaTarkela]

Damn that Mesa sounds good! Greg is awesome!

[@iiWNMii]

I assume the Atari support will be in a later patch

[@sickb2200]

I'm about to give in to digital.

[@ryant3600]

I did about 3 years ago not really understanding the entire Amplitube 4.. it's taken me a couple years of really messing with it (which is part of the fun), but now looking to getting this and some monitors for those days I don't want to use headphones and be able to change between settings without stopping..:) but the tones are incredible.

[@Zlagie]

me too! ran my iRig pro into an old 60s Gibson amp for FX from the iPad. sounded fantastic! i just put up the iRig for sale to buy this one for gigging. no worrying about a pedal board for a while.

[@frantisca]

A dream amp room... ! IK does a lot of great stuff. SampleTank has the best drum sounds there are. Only thing is I can't quantize the drum track by playing them from GarageBand through Audiobus :( It processes the track in audio only and not MIDI. If this was part of an upgrade in a future version, SampleTank would be the most awesome drum machine on iPad without a doubt !

[@julianfehling6984]

this is craaazzzyy

[@artheriford]

Greg, what are you playing the Stomp I/O to for an output? I have a Fender speaker with an Electro-Harmonix power amp to boost the signal.

[@gerrymcfarlane2615]

Excellent, just Excellent.

[@joshparedes_]

Is this rig going straight through a PA or mains? Just want to make sure there's no amp/cab it's routed through and simply using iRig/AmpliTube amp sims and effects to some speakers.

[@therealjackfisher]

Pretty cool addon to amplitube.

[@bendybendtmichaelmadsen6307]

were is your irig board going out to... what cabinet you use?? or are you going tru af amp too?? can you tell the set up to go live

[@GTrules123]

6:13 just how

[@gergemall]

Sounds great

[@adreenal]

Just found my new guitar hero &, 'want it' gear!

[@wolfm8097]

So this stomp i/o is the only footswitch compatible with my Irig hd2 - iPhone setup? I thought I found a footswitch that gave a little wah simulator and activation/switch before this came out. Anyone familiar with that?

[@ikmultimedia]

The iRig BlueBoard is another great foot switch. iRig HD 2 is an audio interface however, so I'm not sure what you mean by the only foot switch compatible. I can confirm AmpliTube will accept MIDI from any CoreMIDI device, like the iRig BlueBoard or iRig Stomp I/O :) www.ikmultimedia.com/irigblueboard/

[@alphasxsignal]

Hope you do some more of these videos using the Amplitube

[@pdbordelon]

Fantastic!

[@christophersmith8850]

He makes that tele talk! Speaks some spacy sounds!

[@mookytc]

Nice video! Are Greg's presets available for download?

[@frantisca]

That would be just great ... !!

[@espedale]

Great, but what cabinet/speaker is the output?

[@jamiegustkey2573]

What are all these sounds being played out of? Greg says... "This is my amp"??... But What are we hearing all of these different amp types through? A mic'd FRFR? A direct source into a DAW? Into an "amplifier" with a clean setting?...

[@ikmultimedia]

iRig Stomp I/O is also an audio interface which is running out directly to the board which is what you are hearing. This is pure AmpliTube through iRig Stomp I/O.

[@ehdforlife]

So I was thinking of buying a power PA speaker, with 400 Watt capacity. Would that work well with this type of set up

[@ikmultimedia]

Yes, a full range powered speaker will sound great with amp sim software that includes speaker cabinet simulation.

[@arturobetancourt2091]

If i Buy I/o stomp it includes amplitube 4 deluxe for mac. Does it also includes a full versión for iPad? Or do i need to Buy sepárate pedals and amps for iPad?

[@ikmultimedia]

The iRig Stomp I/O will unlock all of the gear from the paid version of AmpliTube for iOS, in the free AmpliTube CS app. Read full details of what's included here. www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigstompio/index.php?p=apps

[@adigunhotep4826]

Does all the amps like fender Marshall come with it or do I have to buy them in custom shop

[@ikmultimedia]

iRig Stomp I/O comes with some great models, but there are still models to use for expansion. Read full information here: www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigstompio/index.php?p=apps

[@user-sr7fo5fe6x]

@ 7:25 - what shoes are you wearing. Love em. Want em. Just need to know what they are. Any hints.

[@jc4x467]

Mine stopped working in a month. Hope to hear from IK soon. Sent 3 emails and nothing

[@ikmultimedia]

Please send us your support ticket number and we'll make sure to get your case flagged down. Please allow for some extra time with the global situation. Our team will get back to you shortly. Thanks for your patience and support.

[@jc4x467]

ikmultimedia support ticket number 6819980. Thank you IK

[@paolunna]

Greeeg!! bello!!!!

[@user-yl4lf9mh1w]

Is amplotube really psefect

[@ikmultimedia]

Yeah, it is.

[@ivayloindzhov8553]

What would be a good headphone impedance to use with the iRig Stomp I/O - 32 or 80ohms? The specs say Headphone Output Power: 100mW into 50Ohms but I don't understand if that is going to be enough at 80 or too much at 32 or whatever xD

[@romyromeo5622]

very nice for amp tone..👍😋

[@backsidegrind76]

I hope that tele was at least 18 years of age, because you just violated the hell out of that thing!!!

[@jwstout007]

6:14 rewound that a few times, neat harmonics!

[@CristobalBragagnolo]

jwstout007 dude I just had to go slow motion to try to understand that. Sick move.

[@jaimegomezdelcampo1212]

Muy buenas emulaciones Gracias greg

[@TripleBMusic]

I have to ask... wth is that thing Greg does at 6:15?? Sounds like he's making weird harmonics with his pick by sliding it, but it happens so fast and I need to know lol 😅

[@ikmultimedia]

Those are palm harmonics or palm mute harmonics. The technique was used by numerous guitarists, but people tend to associate it with Eddie Van Halen frequently.

[@TripleBMusic]

@@ikmultimedia Oh wow! Thanks! I'm gonna have to do a deep dive to figure thosw our now lol 😁

[@HiredGoonage]

it is impossible for this guy to ever sound bad

[@soynachosonido]

What is the sample rate, bit depth and buffer size used in this demo? Thanks!

[@rowdyhoo]

What "amp" was Greg playing through or was it direct into the audio feed?

[@ikmultimedia]

Direct from the iRig Stomp I/O outputs.

[@danilopousada9153]

The 30 pin cable doesn’t work anymore?

[@DJCasey]

How will this work with headrush cabinet

[@rareform6747]

Front Row Concerts Suck Today !

[@jtgaebe9281]

Dumb question; so if I get one of these and bring it over to a friends house to jam, what do I plug it into for sound? still need power amp and a speaker right?... like I said, may be a dumb question

[@ikmultimedia]

You can plug iRig Stomp I/O's outputs into a powered speaker, amp, PA/mixer, and similar.

[@ehdforlife]

Is he running everything direct to a pc or is it running through a cab? Can it run through a cab?

[@ikmultimedia]

He's using an iPad connected to iRig Stomp I/O www.irigstompio.com You can run the balanced outputs to a PA/mixer but not directly to a guitar cab. A guitar cab would actually color the sound further so a PA/mixer/power speaker with full range speaker(s) would give you the best tone.

[@ehdforlife]

ikmultimedia Could it be ran through an effect loop on an amp head through a cab. Run the head clean? Just trying to see how I could use this in a live setting with a bad PA.

[@DJCasey]

Answerrrrre

[@carlstawicki1915]

Do the 1/4" outs require a power amp, or can they go straight into cabinets? Thanks!

[@ikmultimedia]

The 1/4" outputs are Line-Level outputs to go straight to a PA/Mixer. Check out the AXE I/O for a built-in re-amp system. www.ikmultimedia.com/axeio/

[@TLMuse]

It would be helpful to have more info about this session: What was Greg hearing the audio through? How are we hearing-the speakers he is hearing, mic'd, or direct (is his lapel mic muted, then?)?

[@ikmultimedia]

Greg is monitoring through speakers in the room, and the sound you hear is directly out of the balanced outputs on iRig Stomp I/O www.irigstompio.com

[@ehdforlife]

Can you use this to control a Boss Katana 50?

[@Guitars-Gear-Music]

Great demo. Greg is amazing. Just saw this demo while looking for the Amplitube 4 Deluxe. If I buy the Stomp IO, will I get the software for my DAW also? Then I would buy it right away.

[@ikmultimedia]

Yes, there is over $/€800 of included software and apps: AmpliTube 4 Deluxe, T-RackS processors (White 2A, Black 76, VC-670, EQP-1A, Mic Room) and Ableton® Live 9 Lite™ for Mac/PC, AmpliTube and AmpliTube Acoustic for iOS, VocaLive iOS and Mic Room for iOS www.irigsttompio.com

[@Guitars-Gear-Music]

OK, odered it. But I can't download the software. Guess it will take some time till everything is processed. Thanks.

[@michaelmorales3049]

I just recieved an ad from Sweetwater .com special promo for what you're looking for I shop and buy a few gear stuff from the Gear Guide if interested yu would all understand when they say they have an exclusive agreement with IK interztjng ?

[@neilbarnwell]

What amplification was this ultimately going through? Straight into the recording for the video, or amp'd and mic'd?

[@ikmultimedia]

We're recording directly from iRig Stomp I/O's balanced outputs.

[@Ky1_chris]

The real question for me is can I just use the pedals with my own personal amp instead of using the amps on the app?

[@ikmultimedia]

iRIg Stomp I/O can be used as a standalone MIDI controller, so it can control MIDI-capable hardware too but it will not replace your amp's channel switching or similar controls (unless they are MIDI of course) www.irigstompio.com

[@MikeNPeeGee]

Is it cold in that room? What is with people wearing stocking hats indoors?

[@jopestv1063]

if anything it shows very little latency problems...especially in the hands of the REAL heir to the 'Telemaster' title. Greg...you are a gift from the angels! howdy from Sconnie

[@ikmultimedia]

Correct, the built-in high-quality audio interface provides very low latency performance. Plug your guitar in, and go - preserving the tone of your instrument with very low latency. www.irigstompio.com

[@MarcCoteMusic]

You will experience whatever latency is inherent in the device it's connected to, plus a little bit for IK unit. The real issue is the computer / tablet / phone / pod you are using and how low-latency that can go.

[@Zlagie]

just sold my iRig Pro for this baby, solely because i tried effects emulation on my iPad into my amp, and it sounded fantastic! the software was Tonestack, the iPad is a Mini 2. i experienced an indiscernible amount of latency. it convinced me that i needed the tactile control that this thing has, and i no longer had to worry about a pedal setup.

[@Dogsrule777]

Mr Koch is so freaking tasty on that thing! 🙏🏽✨

[@sneifert1968]

Are you running direct into a/v equipment or an amp? Would you recommend FR FR type of amplification for this type of device?

[@ikmultimedia]

We're recording directly from iRig Stomp I/O's balanced outputs.

[@rickpitchuck1215]

In to what ?

[@JeremyRayWilliams11]

I have a burning question that no one has answered yet or tried. Can this thing work on an i/os device and a computer at the same time?

[@ikmultimedia]

Hi, that is not possible.

[@JeremyRayWilliams11]

Thank You.

[@ProjectIke_Presets]

Where are the cables going? what kind of speaker was used?

[@ikmultimedia]

The tone you are hearing is taken directly from the balanced outputs of iRig Stomp I/O www.irigstompio.com

[@keithfoster8994]

So no speaker/amp/monitor?

[@ikmultimedia]

You can send the outputs to powered speakers, amp, mixer, PA, etc.

[@mikemaroney6688]

what external speaker, amp, PA is Greg using with the Irig I/O? Also can same result be achieved with Irig HD?

[@keithfoster8994]

I understand that, but the question is, what is Greg actually listening to? iloud micro monitors or something bigger?

[@joshuamichael4312]

Shit, this guy can play his ass off! Damn......

[@DCFGuitar]

This is a cool video, and Greg's playing is (obviously) off the charts...but i personally couldn't invest in a unit that puts my (way too pricey) iPad that close to my feet...

[@ikmultimedia]

If you prefer you can mount your iPad to a mic stand or similar using our iKlip acceessories and the available cable extender.

[@MrJoeyBoombotz]

Such a master!!!!

[@kewlbns69]

no atari support? yea that's a deal breaker man.

[@tomthx5804]

One day the irig stomp will replace Greg Koch, it is that good.

[@Mr77pro]

Awesome Greggness for sure...as we’ve come to expect!! What was your monitor set-up? Or were we getting a direct feed to KZbin land?

[@ikmultimedia]

What you are hearing is a direct feed from the balanced outputs of iRig Stomp I/O www.irigstompio.com

[@Mr77pro]

What was Gregg hearing....or I guess more to the point, what would be the preferred monitor setup if you were playing live and wanted more than a monitor mix from FOH?

[@slimturnpike]

Kevin W The question has been asked 3 times already, and IK is being very cagey.

[@Mr77pro]

slimturnpike ...yeah, my bad for not perusing all the comments before asking the obvious.

[@MasTejeda]

But what speakers are you using? You plug this to studio monitors or a cabinet or what?

[@ikmultimedia]

iRig Stomp I/O has balanced outputs to send to your mixer, PA, full range speakers, etc.

[@mbhb99]

Does anyone know if this product works with positive grid apps

[@ikmultimedia]

You can use iRig Stomp I/O to control apps/software that support MIDI CC/PC messages.
