IK Multimedia iRig 2 Mobile Guitar Interface, Black

Product Information

Heavy distortion came through a little too noisy at times, though not more so than what you'd expect with a physical amplifier. All the high gain settings I tried at various volumes sounded full and studio-quality, like you would expect out of a full rig. Once I had everything plugged in and was able to play (I tested headphones first, then the iLoud Micro Monitors) the tone I got out of the system was absolutely phenomenal.

You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. The “FX” setting sends your processed signal, or the sound coming out of your software/app to the external device. This is perfect when you want to use your iPad or Laptop as your effects pedalboard, your amp’s front end or complete tone rig in a live setting.My wife and I have four kids, who go to sleep fairly early. After they're in bed we watch TV, read or just hang out in the living room. There are plenty of times I'd love to plug in and play guitar, but can't, because either my wife is watching a show or I'm afraid I'll wake the kids up. IK Multimedia offers the industry’s widest range of interfaces, controllers and amplifiers to connect to your computer or mobile device.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. Slowly turn the volume up on your mobile device, iRig, and input and output sliders in the app until it’s at a comfortable listening level. Windows 10 should handle the HD 2 in a similar fashion, and I do know that the Amplitube 5 SE software works great on both Mac and PC platforms. Update the Latency and Oversampling settings. For the best performance, set the Latency to Ultra Low and turn Oversampling on. Note: On less powerful machines, the Kernal Buffer can be adjusted. Increasing this value will increase latency.iRig HD 2 + TONEX for iPhone and iPad is your on-the-go dream rig featuring IK’s breakthrough AI Machine Modeling technology. Play, practice and record using the most authentic and hyper-realistic gear models ever made. As I mentioned in earlier paragraphs, the best "feature" that the iRig HD 2 provides is the convenience and ease-of-use that you get from being able to play guitar through your computer or mobile device. I was able to enjoy a full range of effects and amp models, on my couch, while my wife watched TV and my kids slept.

We recommend uninstalling the iRig Pro DUO ASIO drivers if you want to use the general iRig ASIO drivers. Both ASIO drivers will work with iRig Pro DUO and iRig Pro DUO I/O; but using the general iRig ASIO will allow it to work with other iRig models. Credit is provided by a panel of lenders with whom we have a commercial relationship (so we cannot provide independent advice). Also new is a knob to control input gain, plus a belt clip and Velcro loop so that you can attach the iRig 2 to a microphone stand. In Use An amplifier may not be the most practical equipment to have with you all the time. Thus, a number of artists and musicians today have chosen to record their electric instruments directly into their computer’s recording software. This is known as Direct Input (DI). Today, we will talk about the differences between the iRig 2 and the iRig 2 HD. The iRig devices from IK Multimedia are ground-breaking guitar interfaces. The variants in this category are cutting-edge guitar interfaces explicitly created for use with iPhones, Macbooks, and iPads.

In 2010, for the first time ever, the original iRig allowed guitar and bass players to plug into their iPhone and use their mobile device to play, practice and record with apps like IK's AmpliTube, Apple’s GarageBand and thousands more. You could start by purchasing a ¼” to 3.5mm converter to plug your instrument into the mic input of your computer or laptop. With iRig 2, you’ll be able to enjoy AmpliTube for iOS (the #1 app for guitar players). It's ready to go right out of the box. It comes with a powerful cross-platform suite of apps and software that includes free versions of AmpliTube for iOS and AmpliTube for Mac/PC.

I've heard some people say that they've experienced latency issues with the iRig HD 2, though that wasn't a problem for me, during the time I spent testing the unit. I know that in some situations, a sound card or compliancy issue can cause this, especially if you're pairing the interface with a PC. This opens up a whole world of opportunities when paired with AmpliTube for iOS, IK's powerful guitar and bass multi-effects processor. 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. Or, if you want to be discreet, plug your headphones into the included 1/8” headphone output.If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered Make sure your operating system is updated and that you have updated drivers for your sound card (especially if you've installed a sound card that didn't ship with the computer). Note: Do NOT enable the 'Hardware Buffer' under Options in the ASIO4ALL panel, as this causes poor performance. The volume wheel controls the master volume going to your headphones after the signal has been mixed. The gain wheel controls signal strength at the preamp level (which can increase distortion in some instances, just like a real guitar amp).
