[@idontgrillonwed]

I’m a high school teacher, and NONE of my students have real tube amps. None. I can see this replacing the bigger modelers for people on a budget or ironically replacing Boss’s other big seller right now - the Katana.

[@gigaha]

Everyone’s rig is unique but for what it’s worth: I did an A/B test with this and the UA Dream, then the UA Lion. This definitely doesn’t react as dynamically nor have the width of sound as the UA pedals - those are simply in a class of their own - but they didn’t put the IR-2 to shame either. The IR-2 will give you studio quality sound. Another thing to keep in mind: this takes mono input only. Yes, it has a stereo effects loop, but if you are sending a stereo drive pedal into this, such as your HX Stomp, a ProCo Deucetone, or the new Chroma Console, you lose your stereo separation and have to send it mono into this thing. For me that’s a major drawback and makes the UA pedals seem more flexible. I realize some people put their drive pedals in their effects loop but I’m guessing most of us do not. I did try my drives in the effects loop of the IR-2 and they sounded much worse to my ear. Something to consider before you make your purchase. Great demo and how-to for changing the Ambience setting. Cheers-

[@drcockles]

Had mine a week or two and only just had the chance to play it a short while ago, I’m blown away by how good it is, so many great amps in a standard BOSS pedal format. As of two minutes ago I just saw you can change the ambience types as well 😮 I love it 🤟🏽

[@user-zl5pz9qu8l]

sorry for a dumb question. So with this pedal you dont need an actual amp and it can be plugged directly to a cabinet?

[@bos9555]

Yes, it’s just like a modeler, you could could go straight to the PA, and/or to an frfr cab on stage.

[@r0bophonic]

⁠​⁠@@user-zl5pz9qu8l no, you can’t plug it directly into a guitar cab. You’ll need a (clean, neutral sounding) power amp and speaker. That could be a PA system or a powered cab (like an FRFR). This pedal emulates the sound of various guitar amp circuits (Fender, Marshall, Vox, etc), but it doesn’t actually provide enough amplification to power a speaker like a guitar amp would (it provides only line level and headphone amplification). Your question isn’t dumb - it’s just very confusing due to the word “amp”.

[@user-zl5pz9qu8l]

@@r0bophonic thank you! I just never used anything other than combo, so a bit lost in this )

[@dkijc]

@@user-zl5pz9qu8lusually amps are consists of Preamps then power amps. Then the power amp powers the cabs. Combo puts that into one package. Head and cab separates that. The reason for that is sometimes you want different speakers to get different "tone" or "timbre" or "character" based around your preamp. So pedals like this, you cannot "power" a cab with this pedal or any modelers because all of that is simulated and not really powered. Hope that makes sense haha

[@BartDietvorst]

I got one too; love it! Had the Iridium, Dream 65, TC Combo 65, HX Stomp and IR-200 but this one makes most sense to me and sounds great.

[@MassacreVegan]

How does the sound quality and feel while playing stack up against the Dream?

[@variok]

In the mix with a band, it's honestly no different. The IR-2 has a huge sweep range on the bass/mid/treble, so you need to find the sweet spot. The Dream is a little more dimed in, so easier to find a good sound. The benefit of this pedal is channel switching between a Fender-style to high-gain amp.

[@BartDietvorst]

@@MassacreVegan It doesn't have a Fender Deluxe setting but to me it feels great. Reverb on the Dream is better though but the plate setting on the Boss works better as a pedal platform to me.

[@robertj1303]

[@variok]

@@robertj1303 I would guess so? It makes business sense to reuse assets if they already sound good. Why spend money recapturing the impulse responses?!

[@GitShiddy]

There is a strong appeal to this Boss pedal. Even if I think "sounds a bit like a Katana" Katana sounds good, good enough at worst. Form factor, options, price are pretty spot on. For me the only other thing that has a similar appeal is the Two Notes Opus. Fewer amps, less wysiwyg, but XLR & bass amps plus the two notes sound quality...but at a premium.

[@Thrive-Off-Grid]

What do you mean fewer amps? It has just as many amps that available for the Katana it has 11 presets slots (not just 11 amps available.) You use the software and can load any amps, cabs and some FX from the software. You can even load 3rd party patches into it. This pedal is going to be huge especially when used with other modelers that can fill in the FX side while you use the premium amp and cabs from the Boss side as it has a premuim chip inside that is better than most moderers on market today. Your point that is sounds like a Katana will be this pedals success because it will be a low cost plug-in to convert any moderler to basically become a Katana.

[@GitShiddy]

Introduced in November, six months later I was able to get one. Made a lot of noise intermittently, but according to Boss this noise was acceptable. Sweetwater said electricity can be very problematic and cause noise issues. Even though I ran this on the battery, it still made noise intermittently (even with no other gear upstream or downstream). I returned it as it was defective. If a pedal is making random sizzling sounds on battery power there is an issue with the power supply circuit OR this is the nature of the circuit. Either way, not my cup-o-tea. If you don't have one currently I was told more may be available by summer. Thanks but no thanks.

[@MarinerEarendil]

@@jasondorsey7110 i didn't mean that the others don't sound good, but most of the amp in a box solutions (especially the compact ones) don't offer many high gain options that some of us need.

[@buzzfretwear2906]

My two cents. I've been sort of considering one of the current "amp on a pedalboard" options (UA Dream, Iridium, Humboldt Simplifier MkII) as a quick and convenient practice/recording/grab and go solution when I don't want to bring my main rig. I don't disagree that this Boss unit is a good value but I can't help it - it sounds more like a Katana than the other solutions. Again, it's just my two cents, which isn't even worth that much since I haven't played through any of these units yet (I did own a Katana briefly) and my observations are based only on the video reviews I've watched. It's just there there seems to be a certain artificial quality in the tone of the Boss that I didn't notice in other units.I might be wrong about that but that's what I hear.

[@neilwarden]

Excellent review and nice playing. I've recently sold TC Ampworx 65 ... too grainy, but nice reverb, Zoom G6... liked the IR capability but not too fussed about amps but better than TC. I swear by Tech 21 as they are analog (Blonde). I wasn't convinced by UA and feel that they are overpriced considering this is a new era for amp sims and a lot of competition. Strymon.... last years model I'm afraid. The Boss totally clean sounded good enough for pedals and has reverb and USB interface/editor. I'm not sure about the Boss for pro recording BUT it's a winner for sure. I'm old school and once I get a bit of gear that works I ain't budging. I almost changed my pedalboard and guitars for a recent old school 'wrecking crew' session for R&B, soul, LA style singer songwriter but stood by my standard. Tech 21 Blonde > T-Rex Tremster > NUX Atlantic Reverb/Delay for base backing tracks, producer loved it. I'm going to buy IR-2 for sure, great for just firing up with my MacBook. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your comparison review. Best demo so far.

[@blueleaftuber]

The question is, now do we all try to sell our Iridiums at the same time?

[@garrysimmons111]

I don't know. For live gigging, it only gives you two sounds to choose from without having to manually futz with the knobs. The mono/stereo and FX loop are nice features and the price is really attractive.

[@chemistry3934]

I’m thinking about this too. I’m a function band player so need to cover bases from funk to GnR. However I’m thinking one nice clean sound and one good lead sound - and then a drive pedal to take the clean into crunch territory. Then add chorus / reverb / delay / wah and maybe a clean boost. Could be the ticket and save me carrying Mark 5:25 head + cab + UA Ox + loads of cables to every gig…. I’ve got all those other pedals anyway. We’ve got a great Fohn PA. V v tempted especially after hearing this!!

[@variok]

It works great for gigging band, I jammed at 2 sessions last weekend, covering 70/80/90s stuff, from rock, pop, grunge, metal, blues & adult contemporary. This pedal covers it all, and takes drive pedals really well.

[@EnJoony]

This, along with some effects pedals, into the Harley Benton Thunder 99 stereo (2 x 50 watts) power amp will get you a pretty impressive portable stereo rig - All on a small pedalboard. The Thunder 99 is currently under a hundred bucks I believe and is about the size of a standard MXR pedal!

[@ozzyvknox]

[@jackprice7828]

That pedal has some really good amp sims. It's got me thinking of ways to use it with my HX Stomp. Using the Stomp for effects only saving DSP by not using an amp model.

[@ogmakefirefiregood]

As a huge fan of the Boss GX100, this pedal is a great option for your foundational tone.

[@TheDilligan]

Honestly… this thing could replace my HX stomp. I use the stomp in place of a reverb, delay and to use an amp sim. But most amp sim pedals are too large to fit on my board with the reverb and delay. So an Hx stomp has been the solution. But with this, I can easily fit everything and use my favorite verb and delay instead of the stomp. Not that I would ever get rid of the stomp. It would just move to a fly rig.

[@user-dx1jb4zq9e]

That intro jam is great

[@Klaus80804]

You are correct. Soldano and Recitifier are almost identical. I would have prefered to get an Rockman Style 80s Distortion instead. To me this high compressed tone is very usable for many styles and is hard to find in most modeler units.

[@marekgitarzysta5193]

I hoped you would review this pedal - thank you! I think the main competitor may be Two Notes Opus: no fx loop but has MIDI, it supports dual output but is mono all together, and it's backed up by Two Note's famous DynIRs. Oh and it has one bass amp model and can load two IRs simultaneously plus has an extra EQ (independent from its amps EQ) and a noise gate. Opus' preamp and power amp sims are two separate blocks, so you can decide if you want just pre, just power amp or both. No way to change presets or channels other than MIDI or app, though

[@PaoloC.]

very very clever pedal, but I guess when you set the red channel and maybe moove the pots for normal channel there's no way you know where you have set them for the red.

[@evinoc]

I think the katana is the same on the presets. I did a gig where I had set my amp in soundcheck but spilt a drink just before I went on and turned off the amp while I cleaned it up. When I put it back on my settings had reverted to the original preset settings. I was so loud for the first few songs before I could figured out what was going on haha

[@slimsantilli4476]

Definitely getting one. Just for my practice amp.

[@michaelcunneen2665]

Why do no reviewers detail what amp options they use for these pedals (or any of the amp-in-a-box pedals for that matter). Do I run this through a FRFR cab? Or through the return on the FX loop of an amp? Or just straight into an amp? What is best? Not all of us want to run it into a computer.

[@variok]

You can do all of those things. I have it just as a pedal in the middle of my board, after the drives/modulation pedals but before delay/reverb. It then goes to a DI box, then out to the PA mixer at jams/gigs, or a FRFR speaker for home practice, using an XLR cable.

[@bon2yan88]

still wanting to buy this

[@Athraminaurian]

I wish they would have gone for a Sunn Model T instead of the rectifier. Give the doom lads some love Boss.

Amazing sounds John 🎸Now please tell me you can play it through the Fender Tonemaster FR12 you recently demo’d 🙏 If so, that’ll be my fly rig for 2024 as I’ll go straight out and buy them both. Would like to get your thoughts on if that set up works with some of your other guitars also. It would be an absolute game changer for me if it works as a live rig..🎸😎🙏

[@mchalespermanentbrew]

P.S I’ve just bought the Boss Waza PB1 and it’s definitely worth a demo 👌🎸

[@veissanr]

Hello ... When you move through the amplifiers and come back, the settings have changed... I wonder why? thank you

[@RolleHardrocki]

Blues Crab is a klon of Boss blues driver I think!

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

Wow … really good playing. 😳 Is that a stock bridge-pickup? 😳

[@phy7ajw]

Have been obsessing over this awesome intro for months, can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me what track this was based on? It sounds so familiar but I just can't place it!

[@scrollkeeper6636]

Rectifier and Soldano is a very big difference in terms of voicing.

[@blueleaftuber]

Anyways here's Wonderwall

[@davidgoode7416]

Great video, thanks

[@GoranPantic]

Did you get a chance to try Mooer X2 Preamp? I recently bought it and it seems to do more/less the same thing as this boss (minus the reverb)

[@Hotrod9207]

Does anyone know, if it uses the models from GT-1000/CORE or utilizes completely different approach?

[@PauloNunoTeixeira]

Very good work, Thank you :)

[@dreadnotpop]

are you playing this into your solid state head/ev cab set up? I gotta hear it in the room

[@RudolfZ]

Would Two Notes Opus be something to compare this with?

[@elektriskduvel8835]

Hi Can I use a synthesizer like a Korg Volca in the input ?

[@tfwthewhen]

this could actually replace the hx stomp on my pedalboard.......

What delay was engaged with the blues driver at 1:14
