Re: New Boss IR-2 Amp & Cabinet

Got it, after 3 1/2 months wait. Well worth it! Does everything I expected and needed. Used it with some Sony MDR7506 headphones and went through the various amp/tone platforms. Interestingly, I found two of the Boss MDP models the most to my liking: Clean and Modded. Clean was big and full. It also...

Re: Boss IR-2 with footswitch

So I got some hands on time with the IR2. Here's how to get fast response from effect to bypass mode and then bypass to effect mode. 1. Use an external footswitch for red to green/channel toggling. Not only is this essential for quick bypass and engagement, but the footswich has to be a momentary/un...

Can't wait for the review on Wednesday haha.
Haha!
It won't be as long winded.
Probably along the lines of: I love it, works and sounds great, does just what I need it to do, and it does more stuff than I'll ever use.

Re: Boss IR-2 with footswitch

I don't have my IR2 yet, it's arriving tomorrow, so I can't answer with direct experience. By this time Wednesday, I will have a full report... However, I can relate some things I picked up reading the IR2 manual (to familiarize myself before it's arrival), how the IR2 is intended to be used, and al...

Re: New pedals in the design phase

Very cool!
I had a Mutron Bi-Phase for a short time 30 years ago. The parallel and series phasing options were really cool for getting some wild sounds.

Re: Electrolytic capacitors - a perspective

Yeah, I look at 20 year old caps as something to keep an eye on. Once they hit 30 years, maybe not a bad idea to start replacing, and look at some of the resistors, too. I have found that it's not a massive difference when replacing working filter caps with direct replacements, unless they were uppe...

Re: New Boss IR-2 Amp & Cabinet

If one popped up for under my price, I'd snag it. It's like the BB1X, when it came out almost 10 years ago, they were around $160ish new. I liked it, but decided to wait. About 3 months later, one popped up used on ebay for $65 shipped. I jumped on that. Very happy with it. For years, they were rare...

Re: New Boss IR-2 Amp & Cabinet

Well... Going on nearly 3 months waiting for my IR2 to arrive! Seemingly, BOSS is inbetween production runs, as many places don't have them, and they are popping up used for nearly new prices. I'm patient, been looking forward to this, and still have my two other IR 'amp' rigs in the meantime, thou...
