IK Multimedia iRig 2 Mobile Guitar Interface, Black

Product Information

It comes with a microphone stand mount and Velcro strip that allow you to easy attach it for performance alongside other convenient tools like IK's iKlip range of mic supports for all sizes of smartphones and tablets. iRig HD 2 will free your mind from the confines of tradition and inspire you to be your creative best. The “FX” setting sends your processed signal, or the sound coming out of your software/app to the external device. It is compatible with a huge range of instruments and mobile devices such as iPhone, iPad, Mac and Sumsung Professional Audio devices. It provides you with a vast library of meticulously modeled virtual stompbox effects, amplifiers and other gear that you can use as a part of your physical rig when you're jamming with friends, at a practice session, in the recording studio or performing live.

With the heavier distortion settings, the signal came through a little noisy at times, though not more than I would expect with a physical amplifier. Better still, the IK Multimedia iRig 2 allows you to connect to an amplifier and even connect headphones thanks to a range of outputs that accommodate any setting, whether that's in the studio, stage or just jamming with friends. For a little variety (and to test distortion) I installed the Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier amp model in AmpliTube 4.When we say, “a higher level,” we mean you simply won’t find better with this many features and this much value. This model expands on its predecessor, the innovative iRig guitar interface, to provide you with an even more diverse range of experiences. It’s super-transparent preamp ensures that every nuance — from the pickups, wood tone, string size, nut material, electronics, and every other reason you picked “that” guitar in the first place — is accurately communicated to your device with zero coloration or interference.

You might have to experiment with these settings to get the mix sounding right or to avoid clipping. iRig 2 builds upon the success of its predecessor by introducing essential new features — like adjustable input gain, cross-platform compatibility and a 1/4" amplifier output — that will once again revolutionize the way you make your music while on the go.This model is based on the Peavey® 5150™ head, an amp made famous by a guitarist whose combination of chops and musicianship is legendary. When IK Multimedia's original iRig was introduced in 2010, it was one of the first interfaces to allow guitar players to plug into an iOS device, connecting via the iPhone or iPad's headphone socket and offering its own mini-jack headphone socket for monitoring. Model the sound of any amp, cabinet, combo or pedal, and turn it into a plug-in to use on both Mac/PC or iPhone and iPad for the ultimate tone experience. With iRig 2, you get an input gain dial that gives you the power to ensure high-quality sound in every situation.

You can then use AmpliTube 4, or other DAWs like GarageBand and Audacity, to run amp models and effects or even to record and produce your own music.
