Great demo of the BOSS IR-2. Among the videos I have watched, you are the only one who have demonstrated the power of using the stereo function of the Send/Return loop of this pedal. BOSS did not even show this in any of their videos AFAIK. This is a feature that I have long been waiting for in an IR pedal. Congratulations!!!
Your videos are consistently so good!!! I can tell you put a lot of work and thought into them and it shows. Great playing, great editing, and accurate unbiased reviews. You deserve *many* more subscribers.
Came here to check out the IR-2, found an absolute gem of a channel, so have subscribed. Blown away by your playing, knowledge and presentation; you’ve put so much work into this to make it easy for mugs like me, thanks very much!
30k subs is a sin. You are worth a million +. Always a great mix and composition (a little Vai'ish if I may say) to show off the product plus the technical breakdown and specs. The full feature.
It's the first time I've seen this channel. That's the best demo I've seen on this pedal. It's a great format, i.m.o., demoing new gear in the context of a proper mix. Great job & some nice licks as well 👍🏻
I love that boss added the features lacking from UAFX and others - headphones, effects loop and DAW interface. What a powerful compact pedal. I'm excited to see how the competition responds. I was going to buy a Two Notes Opus and UAFX Lion, but I think I will pass on both in favor of the IR 2.
Agree, without an effects loop it is a waste of time and money. Leo go me onto amp academy but I got a Lemon and sent it back. I use two Joyos, have a sans amp but I think this is my next amp for recording and gigging.
Great video as always Leo! Very cool pedal. Lots of features packed in a small pedal and sounds great. Seems like a fun pedal to use to just play with when you can’t have the amp loud
I need one of these, I get home from work at 2 am or later, and I always want to play guitar when I get home, but people are sleeping, so I can't play... the headphone jack on this pedal would be perfect for late night jamming.
Love it! I can't believe that it has taken so long to do this, in fact I wrote to celestion a few years ago suggesting such a pedal. Fantastic, small and easy.
Excellent demo and music.The pedal seems a great buy.All that in a classic Boss design.Great playing, you put lots of work and love into your art.Thank you
I was going to buy another all-in-one pedal you previously featured on your channel, but this demo takes the cake! Can't wait to order it, hopefuly it will be available on your Thomann affiliate page. Thank you Leo!
I've been following your channel since probably 5 years ago, and I remember you used to be a little bit shy, now you look really confident and te quality of the channel improves as the years pass by, congratulations amico!
Hi Eduardo....first of all, thank you sooo much for following the channel since so many years....it really means a lot to me! further I'm really happy that you appreciate the quality!!! Thank you!
In depth reviews like this are brilliant because it's a pedal with some powerful sound making possibilities....however that's only if these possibilities are understood properly by the user. So thank you for taking the time and trouble to really explain and explore what the IR2 can do..👍
Great job Leo! Im new to the channel but I have subscribed and look forward to more great content In fact Im buying an IR2 this Week after watching this video, Blessings from Savannah GA. USA!

Another fantastic demo, thank you! Your videos are a must watch for me for learning about all these gear options in a truly objective sense. Much appreciated.
Wonderful demo Leo, thank you! What a great demo tune and the vocals really add that something special, thank you for sharing. I think Boss knocked it out of the park with this one, stereo return, audio interface, user IRs, price and for me most importantly Headphones! I'll definitely be getting one. Thanks Leo!
You are welcome and I'm really happy that you like the song and...the voices....you know that when you like my music, I'm super happy! Thank you also for sharing your buying decision!
Very good demo, my compliments! I am thinking to buy this pedal to use it in my upcoming recording session in April instead of the tc electronic combo 65. Leo i can hear from miles away that you are italian and that is great 🙂! Just starting to follow your channel.
Hi, thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the demo!!! Yes, I'm Italian....and considering your name....you are Italian too...😀 Thank you for checking out the videos!!!
Leo doesn't talk about voodoo or magic. You never get an epileptic attack cause he doesn't use lasers or flashlights. No ear bleeding... Best channel on TH-cam. Please keep it as it is. Thank you Leo.
Really enjoyed the demo song! This looks like a great product. Seems priced well and competitive for what it does. I wonder how it sounds compared to the low priced multi effects pedals? Maybe another video? God bless and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁👍
Thank you sooooo much, when you enjoy the music...I'm super happy!!! Yes, that's a great suggestion for another video...maybe in the coming weeks. Thank you!
This is really nice for a board! I like my IR-200. With my own IRs it is a great solution to just play a quick few lines without having to switch on an amp. I pair it with my H9 and am done.
Great review and performance. I am awestruck! Boss is amazing; I doubt I'll need this since I already have a GT-1000Core and a Helix Stomp which for me is modeling overkill (not to mention an Ampero 2 Stomp and a GP-200LT) all for a nylon string Flamenco guitar. Your reviews save me much research pain and time learning about all of this that I never had before. I am 83 and won't be around for too much longer, but all you lucky kids have access to tones never available in my growing years... (and, of course, Flamenco uses very different techniques than electric or even acoustic guitar). That said, there is good and bad news (about music, but also applies to politics in the US) First the good news: The tools of production are at last in the hands of the proletariat. Then the bad news : The tools of production are at last in the hands of the proletariat. :)
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you lie the review and I'm happy to be of some help!!! 😀...interesting point about the tools availability... :)... Man 83...I wish to stay around for 100 years more!!!
@@LeoGibsonGtr I dunno; but then again, the only reason I look the way I do is because I spent 4 years in Isla Vista, CA in the early 60's (my undergraduate years)
Thank you Leo for making the most musical demos on youtube. The composition is beautiful! Also very interesting that Boss is using Celestion IRs for this product instead of AIRD, I wonder whether these will be made available for the ME90 as it was released recently, and whether they will also be made available for the GX100 and the GT1000/GT1000 Core
Thank you so much for such amazing compliments....when you like my music I'm super happy! Interesting point...I will ask BOSS...I think it's AIRDS...but having so many IRs...I'm not completely sure... Thank you!
Great video as usual Leo! A comparison, especially regarding the quality of the preamps, with the Nux Amp academy and Walrus Acs1 (updated) would be great!
Your videos are always of the highest quality, and thanks to you, I managed to choose the modeler that best suits my needs (Ampero II Stomp). No other video can compete. Truly congratulations! Thank you for everything
Hi Leon. I've been offline awhile as I had an accident working in the garage and broke my leg. Just now walking again after 3.5 months. I saw this and had to watch. Very cool. I love Boss products and think the value is great we get from Roland and Boss... I'm going to search in a minute to see if you've used or tried the UAFX Plexi Super Lead 68 pedal and reviewed it. I hear great reviews about it's sound and it's feel which I want.. The only negative is that it has no headphones out put so you need something like an FRFR speaker to monitor yourself or use the 4c method to plug into the power amp of some amo and a cab.. This is a real bummer for me.. We shall see if they change it in the future, but so far UA hasn't done so with their amp pedals.. ❤ Be well sir. ❤
Hi, I have done a direct comparison between the IR2, the Lion and the Iridium, that you can check out here: th-cam.com/video/C9J15uOhzzE/w-d-xo.html Thanks!!!
Hi, thank you for your suggestion! I'm receiving a lot of request of comparisons: vs the Iridium, vs the UAFX, vs the Opus, vs the Amp Academy.... 😀...I have to decide which one to do...
You’re one of the few that highlights the positioning of the fx loop return (after cab but before reverb). That will be perfect if you have a looper last in your fx loop and wanna make use of the loopers drums or add vocals or piano via the loopers inputs. They won’t be affected by the cab sim which is great. Of course the reverb might have to be toned down in those cases or add a reverb pedal only for guitar just before the looper. So no extra gear needed to implement other instruments if you’re a solo looping artist. The IR2 is the base for everything. Or do I miss something?
Thank you, I'm happy that you like the review! Tipically BOSS latency is really good...and around 1ms even ith the loop....but actually I didn't test it...I have to check it out... Thank you!
I'm curious to see a demo of someone using the USB interface for post effects and sending the signal back into an amp. There are many great sounding reverb plugins for ipad for example and I think it would be a convenient setup if latency etc is manageable. I haven't seen this covered yet!
Hi, there are 2 main advantages in my opinion: 1) you can hear the external effects also when you use the headphone out of the IR 2 2) you can place for instance a stereo chorus before the IR2 reverb...otherwise you should have placed the chorus after the reverb...which is odd. Thank you!
I am really enjoying all the hype above this great pedal. As a GT1000 owner I coudn’t adapt to other pedals like tonex, kemper, Headrush, helix and fractal for feeling better with the GT (faster response and tube-like dinamics as no other) and kept wondering why most users don’t bother the Boss units. Maybe its a game changer for Boss corp.
Yes, it's a TRS cable: a TRS jack that goes in the return of the IR 2 and two female inputs. In the "more sound section" of the video I've tried to show you the pedalboard I have built and how it works. Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtrafter revisiting this great review and exploring modellers and amps with a multitude of functions it seems that we arrived at the necessary essentials in a small, good sounding scale/version If i could use your showcased pedal set up change the maxon to a Klon and a treble booster may be a compressor so i am still small scale?! I could use it stereo out to a PA and headphones out to a FR speaker that would be a nice rigg with punch and auditable stereo effects? Adding one ear monitor for precise playing would be a surplus for me and my bad ears😮👍This way i maybe able to play to any recording or backing tracks und any given situation 🙋
Hi, you are welcome! No, you cannot, you need a power amp and you have to deactivate the cab sim of the BOSS. These are all in one devices aimed to mimic the full chain amp + cab. Typically you connect these device directly to your mixing desk or to an FRFR speaker.
Excellent demo. But why are people freaking out over it vs the 200 that has been around for years. Isn’t it the same device in a scraped version? Besides that the ir-200 has midi and that the usb is a better c on the ir-2 vs a usb mini on the ir-200? I don’t have any of them yet but just confused. So if anyone can clarify 👍🏼🎸
HI, maybe I will make a video with all the differences between the two devices. Of course the form factor, the weight and the price are pretty important aspects (in my opinion) to take into consideration. Thank you for your message
This channel deserves to be one of the top guitar channels on YT. Keep up the great work Leo!

Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video!!
Leo can can you make a vs with the boss ir2 and the two notes cab m+ or opus?
Hi, thank you for your suggestion! I'm receiving a lot of request of comparisons: vs the Iridium, vs the UAFX, vs the Opus, vs the Amp Academy.... 😀...I have to decide which one to do...
Excellent review
Thank you sooo much, I'm really happy that you like the video!!
You’re one of the few that highlights the positioning of the fx loop return (after cab but before reverb). That will be perfect if you have a looper last in your fx loop and wanna make use of the loopers drums or add vocals or piano via the loopers inputs. They won’t be affected by the cab sim which is great. Of course the reverb might have to be toned down in those cases or add a reverb pedal only for guitar just before the looper. So no extra gear needed to implement other instruments if you’re a solo looping artist. The IR2 is the base for everything. Or do I miss something?
Than you!
Yes, I do agree....the fx loop is very useful!
Great intro song
Great for Boss
Useless to ask you for a comparison because I know you’ll do all imaginable comparisons😂
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video!!
Great Demo!
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the demo!!
Great review of what seems a very useful pedal. I'd love to know its latency (especially using the loop).
Thank you, I'm happy that you like the review!
Tipically BOSS latency is really good...and around 1ms even ith the loop....but actually I didn't test it...I have to check it out...
Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr just let us know please
My only gripe is that you have a Soldano on the floor under a couple other amps. ;) Great demo, great playing!
😀...thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the demo and the playing!!!
I wish you talked more about sound quality with samples, and did the technical comparison like you did with other modelers
Hi, thank you for your suggestions!
I'm curious to see a demo of someone using the USB interface for post effects and sending the signal back into an amp. There are many great sounding reverb plugins for ipad for example and I think it would be a convenient setup if latency etc is manageable. I haven't seen this covered yet!
Hi, interesting point...I will think about it
Thank you for your suggestion!
What is the advantage of placing the effects in the effects loop as opposed to having everything straight in a row to the soundboard?
Hi, there are 2 main advantages in my opinion:
1) you can hear the external effects also when you use the headphone out of the IR 2
2) you can place for instance a stereo chorus before the IR2 reverb...otherwise you should have placed the chorus after the reverb...which is odd.
Thank you!
I am really enjoying all the hype above this great pedal. As a GT1000 owner I coudn’t adapt to other pedals like tonex, kemper, Headrush, helix and fractal for feeling better with the GT (faster response and tube-like dinamics as no other) and kept wondering why most users don’t bother the Boss units. Maybe its a game changer for Boss corp.
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience and your findings!!!
Thank you, another product i must purchase...
You are welcome! 😀
excellent demo wow
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video!!!
Could you please explain the stereo connect ... Is it two cables or one cable with TSR?
Thank you
Yes, it's a TRS cable: a TRS jack that goes in the return of the IR 2 and two female inputs.
In the "more sound section" of the video I've tried to show you the pedalboard I have built and how it works.
Thank you!
Fantastic Performance🤘
Thank you soooo much!!!!
@@LeoGibsonGtrafter revisiting this great review and exploring modellers and amps with a multitude of functions it seems that we arrived at the necessary essentials in a small, good sounding scale/version If i could use your showcased pedal set up change the maxon to a Klon and a treble booster may be a compressor so i am still small scale?! I could use it stereo out to a PA and headphones out to a FR speaker that would be a nice rigg with punch and auditable stereo effects? Adding one ear monitor for precise playing would be a surplus for me and my bad ears😮👍This way i maybe able to play to any recording or backing tracks und any given situation 🙋
Thanks, I just bought one. Can it connect to my cab with 1 celetion speaker? Thx
Hi, you are welcome!
No, you cannot, you need a power amp and you have to deactivate the cab sim of the BOSS. These are all in one devices aimed to mimic the full chain amp + cab. Typically you connect these device directly to your mixing desk or to an FRFR speaker.
Excellent Leo, thank you.
You are welcome, and I'm really happy that you enjoyed the video!!!
Excellent demo. But why are people freaking out over it vs the 200 that has been around for years. Isn’t it the same device in a scraped version? Besides that the ir-200 has midi and that the usb is a better c on the ir-2 vs a usb mini on the ir-200?
I don’t have any of them yet but just confused. So if anyone can clarify 👍🏼🎸
HI, maybe I will make a video with all the differences between the two devices. Of course the form factor, the weight and the price are pretty important aspects (in my opinion) to take into consideration.
Thank you for your message
