Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

IR-2 puts amp and cabinet modeling for guitar or bass into a compact pedal, with eleven amp types and twelve cabinet impulse responses that include Celestion Digital IRs. Use its bass, mid, and treble controls as you would an amp’s tone stack, then add room, hall, or plate reverb from dedicated controls. Two channels are selectable at the pedal or with an optional footswitch, and the effects loop accommodates other pedals. A headphone jack supports quiet sessions, while USB audio lets you record directly to a DAW.

Who this is for
