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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 👍🏻
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.
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.
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..👍
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
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.
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!
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 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 so much, I'm really happy that you like the video!!! Well, good point, I should do a direct comparison to answer properly...in terms of latency BOSS is tipically a top performer...in terms of sound I need to do some tests... Thank you!
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!

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!!!

Thank you so much, I'm really surer happy that you appreciate the video and the content and your sub really means a lot to met!!! Thank you also for sharing your findings!!!!
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.
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.
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?
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!

Ciao, thank you so much, I'm happy that you like the review! Yes, I think it is possible, removing the cab sim from the IR2 and using it just with the amp sim. Thank you!
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video! Not considering the time spent finding out / composing the music....I would say that recording the song, shooting the videos, etc....took me around 4 days...working pretty hard....in fact, honestly, I put too much effort on these videos...but that's how I am....I'm not able to make quick demonstrations...everytime I tried....I finally go back to my approach...which is time consuming but I really hope that you can enjoy the final result. Thank you!
Wow, this intro is awesome. The pedal looks good too. Is the quality of the amps and cabs the same as the IR200 but with a reduced number of opti0ns or is there a sound quality compromise (to me it sounded great anyway, specially at your hands).
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the into!!!! To me it sounds the same...please notice that in the IR2 you have 11 guitar amps, where in the IR 200 you have 8 guitar amps and 3 bass amps. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!!! Actually, I prefer not to provide a "black" or "white" answer, as I think it really depends from your needs and my answer may induce you to buy the wrong unit.. I'm sorry, and I hope you understand Thank you!
Ciao Leo, ottima recensione di un pedale molto interessante. Però penso che il riverbero on board sia un po' carente per cui ci aggiungerei un bel pedale reverb (strymon blu sky)? Ma poi lievita il prezzo è la domanda è sempre la stessa: perché a parità di prezzo non prendere una pedaliera modeler (HX Stomp) che offre molto di più?
Ciao, grazie, sono contento che ti piaccia la recensione!. Per me il motivo è che potresti già avere dei pedali disponibili, oppure vuoi creare una combinazione di pedali unica...con suoni non facilmente ricreabili da altre pedaliere.Poi c'è comunque il fascino di aere diversi pedalini a comporli come vuoi...vecchio stile...per così dire... Grazie!
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!
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!!!
Thanks Leo for your amazing videos! One question not easy to find the answer online, This boss IR-2 do not have a low / high cuts options like other bigger units, is that an issue to use it on stage(fletcher manson effect...) ? I am always wonder if it s actually needed Low High cuts if using IRs, as they are already supposed to cut frequencies similar to a cabinet would do,...thanks for sharing your thoughts about it!
Hi, interesting topic. I don't have a "black or white" answer, but I think that if you go straight into the mixing desk, you can apply eq in the mixing desk itself (if needed). Actually some eq should be applied in any case, in order to fit the guitar tone with all the other instruments.... Thanks
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thanks for your answer, thats very true, if playing in some venue with mixing desk normally the sound guy should do this LPF HPF for guitar and bass, sometimes in small venues that is not the case tho, and for monitoring can eventually be an issue too, imho the main things of amp sims that ppl complain about are 1 the tone (this in 2024 is very solved I think even unexpensive units with some twicking can have a very usable nice tone), 2 the feeling, (I think when ppl say sims do not feels like an valve amp, 95 % of what they don't feel is related to latency and your channels seems to be the only one who put focus on that🙌) and 3) the tone is not reliable when passing from room/studio to live gig volume. Normally a parametric eq with LPF HPF should solve that last issue and just big units or just a few small ones have that. Thanks for your channel I learned a lot
This channel deserves to be one of the top guitar channels on YT. Keep up the great work Leo!
Thank you so much for such an amazing compliment!!!

Great review, thank you. Did you noticed any latency? Also small correction: DIAMOND model is AC30.
Thank you so much!!!!
I'm measuring the latency right now...I'll let you know.
You are right! Thank you for pointing it out!
Great video, as always. Congrats! Is Walrus Canvas totally necessary to go direct into a sound desk / audio interface or just IR-2 is enough? Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! The Canvas is NOT necessary. It is useful (not necessary) if you want to run long cables without adding noise.
Thank you!
Brilliant work, can I ask how long it took you to put this together? great song and video, you have convinced me re. the IR2 👏
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video!
Not considering the time spent finding out / composing the music....I would say that recording the song, shooting the videos, etc....took me around 4 days...working pretty hard....in fact, honestly, I put too much effort on these videos...but that's how I am....I'm not able to make quick demonstrations...everytime I tried....I finally go back to my approach...which is time consuming but I really hope that you can enjoy the final result.
Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr well I can only encourage you to keep doing what you are doing, the time spent really shines through in these high quality videos 👍
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!
Wow, this intro is awesome. The pedal looks good too. Is the quality of the amps and cabs the same as the IR200 but with a reduced number of opti0ns or is there a sound quality compromise (to me it sounded great anyway, specially at your hands).
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the into!!!! To me it sounds the same...please notice that in the IR2 you have 11 guitar amps, where in the IR 200 you have 8 guitar amps and 3 bass amps.
Thank you!
Very nice video. Im curious as to what kind of pedalboard you're using. I've never seen one with what looks like a decibel meter built in.
Thank you!
This is a Vangoa pedalboard. More info here: th-cam.com/video/f97d912FQrk/w-d-xo.html
Great review Leo, as usual. Can I use the IR-2 as a preamp plugging it into the return of my amplifier or into a power amp?
Thank you!!!! Yes, I think it is possible, disabling the cab sim from the IR 2 and using it just as a preamp.
Thank you!
A perfect Video demo and review.
The pedal is also very good and compact with reasonable price.
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video!
Yes, it's very compact....thank you for sharing!
Great Review Leo!, which one is your favorite amp pedal modeler multi effects ? , thanks, great channel !
Thank you so much!!!!
Actually, I prefer not to provide a "black" or "white" answer, as I think it really depends from your needs and my answer may induce you to buy the wrong unit..
I'm sorry, and I hope you understand
Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic video have a wonderful weekend ❤😊
Thank you so much, and I wish you a fantastic WE to you too!!!
Fantastic demo as always. You rock Leo.
Thank you soooo much, really appreciated!!!
Best song in a product demo video at the start!
Thank you for such an amazing compliment!!! I'm really happy that you like the song!!!
Ciao Leo, ottima recensione di un pedale molto interessante. Però penso che il riverbero on board sia un po' carente per cui ci aggiungerei un bel pedale reverb (strymon blu sky)? Ma poi lievita il prezzo è la domanda è sempre la stessa: perché a parità di prezzo non prendere una pedaliera modeler (HX Stomp) che offre molto di più?
Ciao, grazie, sono contento che ti piaccia la recensione!.
Per me il motivo è che potresti già avere dei pedali disponibili, oppure vuoi creare una combinazione di pedali unica...con suoni non facilmente ricreabili da altre pedaliere.Poi c'è comunque il fascino di aere diversi pedalini a comporli come vuoi...vecchio stile...per così dire...
Grazie!
Great video Leo. Top notch channel. Thanks man 👍👊💯🎸🎸
Thank you so much for such an amazing compliment!!
Thank you for taking the time to live a feedback: it means a lot to me!!!
🙏🙏🙏
@@LeoGibsonGtr your welcome your awesome 😎👍
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
Hey, Leo! Lovely demo, thanks for that! Am trying to choose between nux amp academy and boss ir 2. Which one you liked more?
Hi, both are good product....it's hard to give a "black" or "white" answer...I will try to make some comparison videos...
Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtrgreat Leo! Thank you! a comparison between them would be awesome! ❤
Got mine this morning, fab playing and great demo Leo, as usual
Thank you for sharing and I'm really happy that you like the demo!!!!
Another banger demo song 🎵
Thank you so much, I'm really super happy that you like the music!!!
gonna try this one - thanks for superb review!!
You are welcome, I'm really happy that you like the review!!!
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!!!
This intro is one of the ones I like more 👍
Thank you so much Christian, I'm super happy that you like the intro!!!!
Ha Leo, nice video as always. Can I ask you what type of pedalboard you are using? That one with the big level meter?
Hi, it is a Vangoa: here you can find more info: th-cam.com/video/f97d912FQrk/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!
That intro song was insane
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the song!!
Thank you for taking the time to live a comment: it means a lot to me!!!
Very good! Cheers from Brazil
Thank you!!!!
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!!!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Hi Leo. Thanks sir. Very cool.
Thanks!
Thanks Leo for your amazing videos! One question not easy to find the answer online, This boss IR-2 do not have a low / high cuts options like other bigger units, is that an issue to use it on stage(fletcher manson effect...) ? I am always wonder if it s actually needed Low High cuts if using IRs, as they are already supposed to cut frequencies similar to a cabinet would do,...thanks for sharing your thoughts about it!
Hi, interesting topic.
I don't have a "black or white" answer, but I think that if you go straight into the mixing desk, you can apply eq in the mixing desk itself (if needed). Actually some eq should be applied in any case, in order to fit the guitar tone with all the other instruments....
Thanks
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thanks for your answer, thats very true, if playing in some venue with mixing desk normally the sound guy should do this LPF HPF for guitar and bass, sometimes in small venues that is not the case tho, and for monitoring can eventually be an issue too, imho the main things of amp sims that ppl complain about are 1 the tone (this in 2024 is very solved I think even unexpensive units with some twicking can have a very usable nice tone), 2 the feeling, (I think when ppl say sims do not feels like an valve amp, 95 % of what they don't feel is related to latency and your channels seems to be the only one who put focus on that🙌) and 3) the tone is not reliable when passing from room/studio to live gig volume. Normally a parametric eq with LPF HPF should solve that last issue and just big units or just a few small ones have that. Thanks for your channel I learned a lot
Amazing video as always! may I ask what is that pedal board you are using with that cool lighting?
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video!
It's a Vangoa pedalboard....it's a nice product in my opinion...
Thanks!
I enjoyed the music, thank you! 10 years ago I think I could hear difference between a pedal and the real thing, now I can't.
Hi, thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the mnusic!!!! Thank you also for sharing your findings!!!
Thank you, another product i must purchase...
You are welcome! 😀
Thank you for all your work!!
