What I love about Pauls playing is his restraint and great simple lines and beautiful phrasing. A relief to see someone not feeling that they have to play a billion notes to be great!.
Agreed, it's the main reason I subscribed to this channel. Paul's playing is always very musical and tasteful. Worth having a guitar on hand while you watch to try out some of the ideas.
🎸🔊 Exceptional skills on display! That guitarist is taking the IR2 for a ride, and it sounds absolutely killer! 🙌🔥 Boss, you've truly nailed it with this one. The tone is on point.
I’m a guitar teacher and I would disagree. It takes time to develop your ears. When you first start playing you don’t even really know what you’re hearing. Over time, students learn to discern pitch, rhythm etc. Subtlety is one of the last things to develop. That’s where dynamics and understanding of harmony develop. A sense of “good” guitar tone always seems to come waaay down the line, and is always developing. I’m not saying everyone learns it. Some people play for decades and suck at all those things. But it can definitely be taught and learned.
@@ColonelPaynus Well said and I agree with you, however my statement is referring to ones taste in music composition that attracts the masses, there were many good composers in Bach's time but not like him or Lennon & McCartney, Cole Porter etc. I'm referring to the tasteful guitar melodics that Paul Drew constantly plays, he has great taste.
Thanks for this. The Boss IR-2 is a very versatile fly/IEM/session rig in a small stomp box format. So nice to have a thorough demo by a really solid lyrical player who does this gear justice. Cheers!
The thing that turned me off from the IR-200 was the switching latency, making it impracticable for live playing when used as a 2-channel amp. Can you share your impressions regarding the CH SEL latency in the IR-2?
There is zero latency. I know exactly what you mean. The Iridium also has a dead spot when you switch channels. The IR2 is smooth and instant. Like turning any regular Boss pedal on/off. I have mine set so channel 2 is my solo boost.
I realize most watchers here are guitar players, but what Paul did to get that bass sound on this pedal (3:52) is amazing. Most bass amp modeler reviews on YT focus on the growl sounds- not for me. This easy tweak on the IR-2 is amazing to get a studio bass sound into a DAW. I have mine ordered as they are selling out here in Ontario like hot cakes. I've watched countless video's on the amp modelling subject....this is THEE best bang for your buck for home recording studio's. No fluffy extra sound effects crammed in to make things more confusing. *Just straight amp/ cab/ slight reverb-DONE . Boss IR-200 would probably be a good fit for the gigging musician for the extra sound effects live. Paul has the best reviews. I want to vom in my mouth when I see guys ONLY pull out a single coil type guitar when they do reviews on any gear . Anyone who does gear reviews should be pulling out a single coil AND a humbucker style guitar OR as Paul does it ... the PRS for this one ( capable of most sounds) Great video. Thanks Paul for taking the time on your reviews .
Seems like a really great pedal to throw in the gig bag and have as a backup amp just incase the real amp dies. Or even as a solution for touring when space and weight is an issue
Out of curiosity, what pickups are in that strat? It always sounds so good! I know that's because of your playing and mastery over tone shaping but just curious because they handle gain so well lol.
Great video thanks!!! Love all your work! I would love to see a video showing how useable the reverbs built-in are… (Thanks for the bit you did btw) Everyone is using an external pedal and want to know how well this will work as a travel interface solution.
Ditto! For whatever reason there don't seem to be any UA-cam vids showing what the three reverb options sound like with examples from subtle to full on for each.... :(
While it’s great to go “exploring” with a pedal like this (and i have one) to land on some sounds we like, what would be really helpful is to see how certain tones can be dialled in to emulate specific sounds. For example, a Gary Moore tone, a Jimmy Page , early Peter Green, Mark Knopfler, John Mayer, and so on. The options available here are overwhelming, and while i've seen lots of videos exploring the range of sounds, very few that actually demo how you can get to a particular place, especially with all the cab IR options included in the mix. its a great pedal straight out of the box, though :)
My worry with this is that I'm afraid of how it'll play with pedals. Cause I tried the ir200, and I REALLY wanted to like it. I tried it after using an old two notes torpedo cab. Not even the cab m, but the OG cab. And no matter how I set the thing, I just couldn't get it to sound even useable for me with overdrive, fuzz, and compression. The saturation wasn't where I wanted it, it was basically impossible for me to get edge of breakup, and I tried all sorts of different combinations of the stock IRs and third party stuff like York IRs. What I'll say about the IR 200 is that the feature set was incredible and it certainly did clean tones beautifully. However, I just can't exist without edge of breakup and my pushed fuzzy overdrive sounds. THAT'S what I'd want to see. Can you feed this thing, say, a fuzz face, with an odr-1 or a BB type drive, and get edge of breakup with gain variation changing with your volume knob?
I get this is a really cool device, but I used to use a line 6 pod2 15 years ago which I know probably isn’t as refined, but my god it got me 90% of the sound I wanted.
Great demo. I only recently discovered the IR-200, of course right when the IR-2 gets announced, haha. I'm not the biggest fan of menu-diving (a la -200), but I feel like that might be easier than hidden functions like the IR-2 has... Both sound great though! Having played through both, do you prefer the 2 over the 200, or vice versa?
Does not really convince me. But I still have one question, what have the horses to do with this pedal? Did they instantly flee, after they had heard the first tones from this pedal? Would not have surprised me.
Looks like another homerun from BOSS. It reminds me of the Katana in that I'm confident I could get several good tones right from the front panel and just start playing. The extra versatility beyond that is pretty remarkable at this price point. I wish my Katana 50 had an effects loop. I'd like to try it with a pedalboard amp to push my favorite 4x12. It might sound awesome.
A real katana only costs £50 more! Still a nice considering the compact size, though. It is a shame that they don't do an effects loop on the katana 50. I bought a 100 purely for the effects loop, and I only use it on 0.5W mode at like 8 o clock master volume. I wouldn't much preferred the 50, but need an effects loop.
@@BlazertronGames I wouldn't get this first instead of a Katana or similar good amp of that style. But I already have one... and for the price of a good pedal, this thing offers a lot of versatility. I do like the idea of being able to go sit by a creek with a stompbox and earphones and just play. Also bringing a phone or laptop you could record, etc. That right there is kind of a fun selling point. And when you start trying to add FX loops to amps that don't have one, you can spend a couple-three hundred real fast anyway.
@@DogSlobberGardens-i7f If you're going as far as brining a laptop, there's amp sim vsts that are likely easier to use, and just as good sounding as the pedal. I get what you're saying though, it's a nice idea. I do wish it was a little bit cheaper, though, like £130, instead of £170.
Loop on stuff like this seems like a cover to keep folks from freaking out about it. Its routed after the cab, before the reverb. Nice if you're recording from usb but not sure how important it is on a pedalboard
Hi. I luv your videis. They are very well done and full of information. I wanted to ask you a question. I noticed that in most of the demos of this pedal that both the A and B output is being used to go to their DAW most likely, even in people not using stereo pedals. My question is, if I plan to go direct to a PA, do both outputs have to be used? Or just use the MONO A output? Does it sound better using both outputs? Also, do you have to change something in the parameters of the pedal when you use both outputs, or just leave it in the default setting? Thanks for the answers I hope to get.
Excellent demo. But why are people freaking out over it vs the 200 that has been around for years. You briefly mentioned the 200 for recording base. Isn’t it the same device in a scraped version? Besides that the 200 has midi and that the usb is a c on the ir-2 vs a usb mini on the 200?
Well.......our friend here makes it all look so easy. What occurs to me when considering the IR2 is....CPU in my computer from the plugins I have. EZdrummer3 is essential. Then there are 3 bass amps, half-a-dozen amp sims, a distortion box....I doubt that this is untypical. But it comes with the resident virtual retailer/warehouse offering more stuff than I'd ever want and fills the DAW with unwanted graphics. Big lumps of bytes that take considerable time to load for....absolutely nothing that I want. Re-amping my guitar doesn't interest me one little bit. Since I also have an interface, I could dump all this and use IR2 to replace the lot, record to the DAW without troubling the CPU or the neighbours but I also have a nice little 15 watt tube amp and a very decent Rode mic so I can go that way too......that's the only way to properly wring its neck anyway. F*ck the neighbours, f*ck health and safety, f*ck decibel meters and f*ck the dog, I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! Even so, I'd like to check the clean sounds before wiping out the plug ins. Almost all modellers are heavily slanted towards the gain merchants. We've all seen the UA-cam dems where the player doesn't know what a clean sound is and of course manufacturers respond to this but a Plexi or a Fender Twin are wonderful at low volume and an AC30 is a different animal at sociable levels. To be seen.........if IR2 can output anything like that through a Harley Benton 15.......and what happens when you chuck a proper 60s germanium dirt fuzz at it........ Maybe IR2 can cut out big lumps of bytes stolen by sellers to flog stuff and the rotten screen they want me to look at and even create a return of some kind to when we weren't all doing mouse/screen/mouse/screen/click click click so much of the time? That's....interesting! Yes, our friend here makes it look all so easy..........nice! Thanks for explaining quite a complex pedal so simply.
I’m so sick of everyone only playing blues licks and strats for these demos so thank you for doing a semi-hollow dual humbucker sound. On the intro, the very start of this video what amp model are you on? And when you put the reverb pedal into the FX loop I’m not seeing any high amp is active but this is close to what I’m after. Was it the Twin the whole time?
Boss always shows up at the party late, but when they do, for the must part, Boss is always impressive. I think the next GT1000 “Amp/Cabs”will be as good or better than this IR2.
Hi Paul excellent playing and then review of the IR2 (just bought one!!) I have a question about those last 2 chords are they Emaj7 and Asus2 ... requires a major stretch of the left hand. I also really admire your restraint and minimalism ... something to aspire to
I loved the reviews as always. Very good and with lots of useful things. I wanted to know between IR-2 and IR-200 which is better? Knowing that it's not a question of money or space on the pedalboard. Just which one is best? Another question is that the IR-2 has 11 amps available and the IR-200 has 8 for guitar (+4 for bass), will the IR-200 be upgraded to the 11 amps of the IR-2? Thanks
@@TheStudioRats thank. I was afraid that some amps would be better in the IR-2 unit. Firstly because it has more choice of amps then because it is more recent and the sound of British amplifiers (Marshall) seemed better on the IR-2 in the UA-cam videos.
I believe it should be mentioned if this video was a paid promotion or not, at the very beginning. I'd like to know your unbiased opinions, now I'm not even sure is what I'm hearing is not post-processed... Sadly I feel like my time was spent tricking me into something I hardly would trust anymore.
Nice demo! One question, I’m trying to load the V30 412 onto the tweed setting with the cabinet loader software but can’t seem to. Do I need to buy the V30 set from celestial even tho they are already loaded into the pedal for the Soldano setting? Thanks.
Hi Paul. First time of watching your channel. Can you use the audio interface aspect without engaging the amp sim? This would allow me to use another amp modelling pedal like a Dream without needing a different audio interface
Question: possible to output to House as well as use headphone out at same time? Would make for killer solution with my dual input headphone in ear system. Monitor mix on first input and direct IR-2 on second input to hear exactly what guitar sounds like...?
Where can one get an IR made for one, capturing your own rig or set up so you can load it into a pedal like this - particularly for bass guitar say, in the UK. Surely there are studios or sound engineers offering this sort of service ?
This with a DD-8 would be an amazing first rig for a starter. My IR-200 with my H9 is a great office rig. I think a lot of guitar players will have this under the christmas tree this year.
What I love about Pauls playing is his restraint and great simple lines and beautiful phrasing. A relief to see someone not feeling that they have to play a billion notes to be great!.

Love this guys playing in all of his videos……
Also ……….
I want that pedal…… ! 😅👍
2:12 Good ear. It boggles the mind how many UA-camrs play a fairly overdriven signal and call it “clean.”
Always irritates me
Yeah Buddy, That is full of soul and so tasteful playing, not to mention great tone. Thanks Paul...
The playing is always great. We've come to expect that. But the matching hat and jacket combo on a country walk....thats next level
ha ha.

Wonderful watching you finally play, fantastic!
I completely missed what the video was about. I just kept listening to the riffs. Most excellent.
Every time I come here for a gear review, I end up being more impressed by your playing.
That absolutely needs to be a backing track. Beautiful composition. I'd happily pay for it anytime.
My god those chords are beautiful, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful music with us. You are a legend mate.
My pleasure!

Also, love the helicopter effect later on, very apt for that black strat👌😊.
Seems like a really great pedal to throw in the gig bag and have as a backup amp just incase the real amp dies. Or even as a solution for touring when space and weight is an issue
Just bought this pedal. Here for a look at what it can do.... and what a nice video I found.
Paul well done. Absolutely fantastic. What a great piece of gear. I think I might jump on one of these for the simplicity.
Great job with this Paul!
This won't replace my UAFX pedals but I do suspect that one will live in my gig bag. Perfect for headphone practice or straight to DAW.
What makes you think it could not replace your UA FX pedals? Price tag only?
Woah. A walk through the English country side, Johan style! Like it.
Great demo, I didn't know I needed one of these until now
Excellent review Paul. Clear and concise on the pedal and its use

Good god these tones. Your playing. All of it is just so good.

Alright I'm still watching the video hence why I keep adding to this but that bend @8:14 is SO tasteful.
Thanks Brandon, Its got Ancho Poblano Fender pickups.
Far out I love your playing, Paul, and I love that guitar! (PRS hollow body) Great video, as always.

Hello Paul
Congratulations for you reviews
How to you compare it to the friedman ir X ? I usually do Gigs and I have a Headrush mx5
the amp sim pedal also plugs into an amp?
whooaaa duuuude 🤘👽🎸
Loop on stuff like this seems like a cover to keep folks from freaking out about it. Its routed after the cab, before the reverb. Nice if you're recording from usb but not sure how important it is on a pedalboard
What a slam dunk product
If the amp models were also overwrite-able with additional models, this would an instant buy...
Hey Paul, how does the IR-2 compare to the IR-200? Are the sims the same sounds pulled in from the IR-200 or does the IR-2 sound better?
looks fab, but seems an incredible oversight to not include a Spring reverb in the ambience options!

Thank you for a nice video! Which one is your favorite? IR2 or IR200? Thanks ❤
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!
Great review and pedal sounds fab.
Would you say is gt family preamps technology or katana models in a pedal. ?
Or is this something different ?
It’s way more GT and GX.
How do these amp sims compare to Boss Katana sims?
Where can one get an IR made for one, capturing your own rig or set up so you can load it into a pedal like this - particularly for bass guitar say, in the UK. Surely there are studios or sound engineers offering this sort of service ?
Would one of those amp models be similar to a Hiwatt?
It would be cool if you could blend the IRs rather than turn them on/off only.
Comparing Boss Me 90 with Boss iR-2 in terms of amp&cab only, which one is better in terms of sound?
Do you know if you can plug a speaker to it AND going to PA during a gig ? 😮
Is it possible to put un clean boost in the fx loop and make a volume boost for solos in a live application ? Is it work ?
So can I run this directly to the p.a without the use of a amp?tryin to get away lugging a amp to shows
That’s correct.
This with a DD-8 would be an amazing first rig for a starter. My IR-200 with my H9 is a great office rig. I think a lot of guitar players will have this under the christmas tree this year.
It almost sounds too good to be true
@@themomentkiller9167 Yeah, almost. This is so feature packed that I‘m really thinking if I could just use the IR-2 instead of the IR-200
