Ive come full circle to boss pretty much, mad to think. Went on from the boss katana to tube amps, went on from boss pedals to different things like strymon and all that, now im back to a katana and using plenty of different boss pedals as and when needed. Boss really are boss when it comes to tone you can rely on, and its not anything like as expensive as other stuff out there.
I have done that! Gone to pricey stuff and back to Boss in some areas :)
I never was boss I was Line 6 and had a falling out over a wireless unit they wouldn’t fix under warranty and went to Boss and haven’t looked back
Boss is best
I love Boss, I have maybe 50-60 Boss pedals, the IR-2 being the newest addition.
@@johnwardle9667 I agree!
Hi Dave! I had been HOPING you would review this pedal! Loved the video. Also Dave, on this pedal, you CAN actually change the "reverb/ambience" type between room (default), hall & plate.
From the pedal's manual, page 17. The instructions for changing it are a little fiddly but not hard. (Sorry if this is long)
1. Turn off the power (unplug the cable from the INPUT jack).
2. Set the type knob to “TWN”.
3. Turn the [AMBIENCE], [LEVEL] and [GAIN] knobs all the way counterclockwise, and turn the [BASS],
[MIDDLE] and [TREBLE] knobs all the way clockwise.
4. While holding down the pedal switch, turn on the power by inserting a plug into the INPUT jack.
After the CHECK indicator lights up green, it cycles between blinking orange twice and staying lit.
5. Use the type knob to select the ambience type.
Type knob Explanation.
CLEAN = Room
TWN = Hall
TWEED = Plate
6. Press the pedal switch.
This saves the settings.
Also, the CHECK indicator rapidly blinks red.
You can play normally with this unit after around two to three seconds.
7. DONE.
Have a great day Dave! I appreciate your content so much!

Opening jam was divine, had to pause what I was doing, to lean back and enjoy
That was brilliantly composed. You are a master at projecting your emotion through your hands
How does this masterpiece of playing not have 100k view. Dave you are an absolute legend mate.
I'm sure by now he knows this, but there IS a Reverb. Ambience lets you choose from Plate, Hall and Room reverb.
perfect timing. Been looking at getting this pedal for playing direct to PA when I'm at church. Awesome playing and demo, Dave.
Beautiful arrangement Dave. Love it.
Just got mine. Youll definitely need to get upgrded IRs. Its cool. Its on my board and i have an rfrf speaker and amp. Makes gigging a lot easier, but im not dumping any of my tube amps anytine soon.
oh god...I don't know if it's someone else's music or your improvisation...but the way you do it, it's (I don't have words to describe it) I have a message for you tube...put this guy to be timeless an icon so that future generations can hear him and be an inspiration to them when we are gone...he deserved it...❤
Looks like Boss thought out this pedal design very well. Amazing the level of tech we have.
Wow….that intro jam…floating on a musical cloud….. great playing man.
I think it has been mentioned but I can't find it...there are three reverb settings and in my opinion the plate reverb is the best. You just need to change it from stock setting. And a mistake I've seen on other reviews is the cab sim should/can be disengaged when playing through an amp/cab set up.
Great playing as always!
Ok, I'm sold, I'm going to pick me one up at the end of the month.
Had mine since Andertons released first batch such a versatile doodad. This and Ibanez twin peaks is all i really need for little one man gigs.
Shades of Maggot Brain. Love it!
At least it has an effects loop and a headphone output. I was going to spend 400 bucks on a UAFX plexi pedal, but no headphone out. This probably won't sound as good, but it is a lot less expensive and is sounding prettt good to me.. Most people listenimg will never know tue difference. I have a different style, which is moatly blues rock ( think 80s metal ballads) and this is perfect with a TC electromic 2290 for ducking delay and eventide micropitch im the loop and thats it giing to a PA. Maybe a direct box with an XLR out and ground switch, but thats just maybe. Of course I have to use my Steve Vai morley wah in front and maybe a keeley compressor for sweetening stuff. ❤
Very cool.. I am using a strat with EMG 85 in the brodge and HA in the neck which is a single coil in a humbucker housing. ❤
It sounds great om this demo for sure.
I meed to get a zoom camera for youtube vids. ❤
Thanks so much my Brit friend.. ❤
I just got my IR-2 a few weeks ago, I love it already! It is now one of my favorite pedals, and it's going to make recording ao much easier, and better sounding!
Now they just need to make a bass version, c'mon Boss, IRB-2?
Waiting for mine. Putting together a board with it, JHS 3 Fuzz, Reverb, DD3, TS808. Just for headphones at home❤
Any video with Mr White , is a win in my eyes . Beautiful playing as always Dave . You really are an incredible talent 💗
When you kicked in the looper and drums this tone just went to a stratospheric level..🤘🇦🇺
Great playing . I really enjoyed listening to your performance . Thanx for the post . Cheer`s
I've come to the conclusion that Dave Simpson could make even a worn out tyre sound good. Amazing playing ❤
The pedal sounds great. Definitely something I'd like to acquire for my collection 😁
Just got my grubby hands on one of these today. Plugged it in and it sounded awful. I was about to take it back to the shop but then thought factory reset. Turned the pedal back on and it sounded fantastic. I've wanted something like this for ages for practice. It really does sound fantastic. I fully recommend this pedal. Boss are indeed once again, the boss.
Beautiful Dave!!!
Would love to see a shoot out of the Boss and the N-UX Amp Academy,, 👍🇦🇺
Your playing is just mind blowingly amazing. Boss nailed another one!
Glorious tones !!...thank you !! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🎸🎵 🎸
I have a Boss GX100 modeller (which is great) and they also name the amps diamond, juggernaught, x-crunch, boutique and so on. As you mentioned Dave its actually more inspiring and pushes us to develop our own sound.. forget trying to mimic a XYZ Marshall clone. I twist buttons till my ears ping not my eyes. Love boss products....
It remembers does it? I wonder if it can remember where I left my nose trimmer cause someone has to before I trip over this nasal hair. I can see myself tripping and going over the balcony in my block of flats. There is a net around the balcony right enough to stop pidgeons, since that spate of bread burglaries in the early 2000's. No I am not on drugs! Moving on - you had me at Boss.
As a life long Boss fan I've been excited about this pedal.....Boss rules in my view. My traveling pedal board is a BOSS BCB 6 case that that pedal would fit nicely in with my other BOSS pedals...At the price of this little amp in a box you can't go wrong
I was up night playing with the spark 40! This thing is a blast I haven't had any new equipment in a while, I shared you with my friend Craig up in Carolina he's a equipment junkie ❤ I told him to check you out.
BOSS provide professional grade equipment for those of us who are not multi millionaires, and the results are superb-oh and great playing Dave, you have that magic touch in spades mate.
I love Boss, I have 50 or 60 of their pedals, they are my favorite!
Hi Dave. Sounds great. Love your enthusiasm for gear an guitar playing. I think you might've missed something that is (bizarrely) hidden away in a weird button startup procedures, but you can change the ambience from Room to Hall or Plate .....Not sure why they didn't just say Reverb on the pedal !!
You can change the ambience knob to two different reverbs (spring and plate). Pretty easy to change it too. With that being said, I love your channel and your demos!!!
Oh my good man, your intro jams are things of beauty! Keep it up man!
Timely. I have one of these. I use it as my gig back up. So easy to set up. Works well with pedals with little adjustment. If you want to dive in a bit deeper you can add your own IRs. Forgot to mention you can change the reverb. Room, spring and plate. I use plate. You have a few button presses to make the change.
Awesome Dave. It's all in the feel and fingers 🎶👍
The boss IR 200 has reverb and alot more features. I highly recommend checking it out.
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful weekend Dave ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Good to see your well big fella. Really enjoyed your live show on TH-cam btw. Really tight band.
thanks for the video. you did another great job. I was fascinated by the drawing on your wall. Very nice :)
Fantastic Dave, lovely guitaring and an amazing tone. Your song sounds like a film soundtrack. Well done Dave 👍
Dude, you're playing is absolutely fantastic, blues, metal, whatever, just killer man!
The diamomd setting did sound like Rory. I saw him open for Rush and I was blown away and a big fan from then on ❤.. He was soooooo damn good. ❤❤❤.. I love the idea of this for a silent stage solution which is required at most places I would gig here locally in my small town or nearby. I play with more gain though and I am imterested in it's brown channel and the Boss x amp original channels, as well as the SLO and Rectumfrier. 😂..
Great stuff brother. Regards from the heartland. South Central Indiana. USA.
Tim. ❤
This thing is perfect for pedalboards. And I am not the only out there who wants something easy to dial in. I have Helix and its way too much for my use.
This one looks perfect for what I need. Just the amp sim!
If is says Bos on it- it's a winner in my book- thank you for the demo Dave
Amazing Dave, I just bought a used GT1000 Core, and I’m using it as a solo pedalboard, but on my real pedalboard is the Boss IR200, and all 3 of these pedals share the same IR/Tone Stack Foundation, you can run any of these into an FX Return and you have a plethora of authentic, GREAT-sounding preamps, like another commenter said, I’ve come full circle as well, selling all my pedals and amps and no pretty much only running a few Boss pedals, they just work well, sound amazing, and don’t cost a fortune. Truly the workhorse of the guitar world.
Oh, and that playing is unbelievable man, wow….
A very good and now iconic brand of not only guitar effects. I have in mind to build one smaller PB exclusively with effects of this brand. I only have the 50W MkII combo from Boss, very happy with it. I have a certain alternative to this particular effect from the company Joyo, it is fully sufficient for me as a complete amateur. This effect + other Boss pedals must certainly satisfy even professional guitarists. Greetings Pavel CZ.👍👍👍
That was fantastic man !!!
Apologies if you've mentioned this later in the video Dave. I've got to the bit where you said there was no reverb... but there are three settings within Ambience; room, hall and plate.
Thanks for the video! I was waiting for this! Love the tones and naturality it has. Also,You can have a reverb Dave! Check the manual bro(:
Holy sugar, what a beast ! The kit also ....
Great demo. Boss/Roland just seem to know what to make.
Brother, I bet you can put a set of strings on a broom & still rock . Love your playing style.
Wonderful Dave! - If you get a chance, check out the Studio Rats second review of this pedal. It's the one where Lee changes the IRs. The tone is improved massively! Well worth a watch IMHO.
You should try out the Two Notes Opus. I have both and prefer the OPUS.
Wow great plaing!!! Great review!
Great sounds Dave,like it a lot,Boss are a great pedal.🙏🙏🙏
I have the Flamma preamp and cab pedals but this… man, Boss just rules and I need this.
Nice Jams Big Dave. Thanks for sharing buddy. 👋👋✌️✌️🎸🎸
Absolutely spot on about the lack of reverb - I've got this pedal and used it recently plugged straight into a desk playing in a band for a panto, I put the ambience up at full whack to get a bit more room feel. It is a great pedal though, even without the reverb. Great playing Dave. There are also a whole bunch of other customisation features that can be accessed by having particular settings selected at power on, it is very customisable.
You have a choice of ambience and two different reverbs as it says in the manual.
@@davidmurphy4844 The ambience settings are room/hall/plate with room being the default. Changing from the default was barely noticeable in the live environment so sticking with default and turning up to max was the best option. That is the nearest you'll get to a traditional reverb setting on a real amp, it's a stretch to call it a proper reverb, I think ambience sums it up.
@@AndyH2O I've not tried the other two reverbs as when I gig I normally don't use reverb. I tend to use a slap back set pretty low.
Beautiful 🙏👌😊☮️❤️
I believe I heard the wonderful sound of the pickup setting between middle and bridge. You should use it more often and explore its potential instead of ignoring it. It's a magical sound. Also, I'd love to hear you play with a particle reverb with complementary effects ,such as, delay and other reverb. Brilliant as always.
That won’t happen. I only used it as the tone reminded me of Rory. I personally hate the sound. Haha. :)
That’s a very useful device. Maybe they left the Reverb out because they assume the people using it already have a separate Reverb pedal. You could send Boss an email and ask them. 👍🏼☮️🌞🎸🎵
It does come with Reverb built in, Room, Hall & Plate
Boss I R2 got no money to buy one until Christmas time its so perfect in sound it sounds brilliant. I think you made the right choice to use it dave. This is a fantastic pedal. Heavenly pedal
I believe there is a way to switch the reverb types for the ambience dial. It might require the app.
Awesome that Dave. The Rory sound 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I have one of these and love combining it with the BP-1W for some Frusciante tones!
Fender Stratocaster! Yes-yes-yes-yes🙂
Dave you are amazing my bro
That’s a badass pedal‼️ I’m okay without reverb on pedal because my amp does have reverb. If this is a pricey pedal - then yes add reverb toggle switch.
Man them killer metal tones
🤘🎸🤘
I like a my bass from 11 o’clock to 1 o’clock or mood I’m in.
Wow Dave, that intro is amazing! One of your best. I need a bunch more hours of that...
you're in my personal top 5 favorite guitarists of all time
Nice demo. A Valentine gift from Boss. 😂. They find you, they know you exist... Good stuff. Hello from Belgium.
Someone else has probably pointed this out already, but as far as I know (think I saw it in a different video), with the editor app you can exchange the ambience for your choice of traditional reverb, and change some settings for the reverb.
You always take two amps to gigs? You are old school. I have the Boss IR-2 - among other small magical units - and use an amp perhaps 3 times a year now. Your playing is great, and you showed really well what this new Boss unit can do. Thank you.
Paul-D's captured what many of us experience over the years. I'm a Katana guy, and there is only one of four Boss pedals I sort of regret buying (too expensive but only did half the job. Some of you know.) Anyway, you can't go far wrong with Boss and Fender.
Good morning Dave from Central florida. You always make me happy and you're informative. Hey man I suddenly have 51,subscribers
Pretty sure you can change the Ambience setting from "Room" to "Hall" or "Plate," it's complicated, but there are YT videos on how to change it.
Amongst a sea of guitar shredder hacks, your emotion fuelled playing is truely exceptional Dave. I need your solos on my songs!!
Great video Dave. Amazing guitar playing, especially the heavy riffs and shredding leads!
Cool Boss pedal for sure! I want one! Happy Friday!
Cheers.
🍻
Yeh bean hard to get hold off will be impossible now you have demoed it lol 😂nice playing mate. cheers.
Have seen some vids of the "nothing" pedal 😉😉 and wondered about getting one - I have a Boss ME70 & quite like the "Amp" sounds on that (remembering to plug a jack in headphone socket to engage properly but I wondered, other than some additional amp sounds, how much "more" does it give than that (considering that the ME70 has Reverb - as well as lots of other effects) & of course later versions of teh ME series have even more
But, as ever, a great vid, @Dave
Love that Tree of Life or whatever that thing on the wall behind you. Looks so fitting in your room.
A lots of retailers are telling folk they are so popular they are waiting on new stock....bullshit!!! they are reluctant to carry them now because their amp sales have taken a severe dive is the fact instead...Boss have turned the guitar amp industry deservedly on it's overpriced arse thankfully...
Absolutely brilliant Dave ,that intro was amazing I just wanted it to go on and on.
I have got the nux mighty air after seeing your review.
I would be very grateful Dave if you could help me out with the ton of Gary Moore Loner, it was brilliant in your demo so be very grateful for you help. Many thanks Peter
They’re are reverbs on it Dave😳
Great demo, some great playing as always, I’m usually a pedal board guy, recently gone to the headrush core, awesome, stuff, But yes boss done a great job, and covers everything, you need, I know you mentioned xlr, you could always add a converter. Fantastic recording system, and love that cloudburst pedal you use, keep positive and cranking out the great demos, and being Dave,
The great news is that you can keep all your favourite pedals and still fit your DI amp (this) on the same board. Only thing I'd say is, it's rather pricey for a compact pedal.
Unreal! Boss, what magic is this?! 👏🎸Also; Dave, fabulous playing as always!👏
i absolutely love this man, the amount of feeling he puts in his playing it's just out of this world, besides that, his way of making videos is just unique. 🙏
Professional! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☇☇☇
Can Dave Chug? Yes, why yes he can and how!!
10/10 for that intro. what a great sound and feel.
I thought the " Ambience " control would vary according to which model you are on, eg a vintage twin reverb amp would hsve a soring style siund on the Ambience. Maybe there is an online editor with which you can get more reverb. In any case since it is supposed to be an amp modeller, shouldn't you place your pedalboard actually in the loop ( which the pedal has), rather than in front of the amp, unless you want an old time 70's pedal before amp input; or you could put a reverb in the loop, which is what it's for. To have more than the basic "Ambience" inbuilt would make the pedal too large, and also would make it a multi-effects unit, when it isn't..... it's just an smp modeller that's small convenient and has some ambience, which is probably more about imagined distant mic placement than actually a specific effect like reverb. If you had reverb, you'd be moaning that there wasn't delay and chorus and harmony etc, so for what it is, it's pretty comprehensive and economical. I'm used to those Boss modells, and they aren't meant to be 38:13 specific captures that you might get in Fractals, but generalised most popular ball-park types of amp sounds that might originally been inspired by Fenders, Marshalls, Vox's, Mesa-Boogies,Hi-watts and magnatones or whatever, but now they are generic sounds that by a process of " chinese whispers" have settled into the public's consciousness a little changed from their earlier nature, but only purists worry about what sort of grill-cloth you hsd in which year... taste in sound is influenced by ever evolving tones optioned to the 15 -25 year-old economic consumer base, and eventually becomes a paradigm amongst younger producers and amp makers. If you are at the mercy of a sound man who changes your sound, all you need is a small full-range flat response monitor wedge which you can even have st the front of the stage facing back at you so not needing to be too loud,or risk annoying the sound guy. Keep up the good work... your playing has improved in taste and pacing in the last three years.
Essential piece of kit getting one soon congrats on the Trios Bonamassa praise!🙂
I'm actually glad it doesn't have reverb, I prefer simplicity and I already have a great reverb pedal.
Well that was fu@king awesome.
