IK Multimedia iRig 2 Mobile Guitar Interface, Black

Most of the time when practicing at home with my Guitar I use this amazing piece of equipment, due to living with a number of other people, I often try to keep the noise down when playing, so I reverted to this. The IRig allows me to connect my guitar to my phone and practice both through headphones or through my amp, allowing the use of virtual pedals available in the Amplitube app. Have used this product for a while now and have able to do so much with it, such as trying out pedals virtually which I am interested in buying properly and much more. Perfect for practicing and learning as I was always worried about making too much noise, along with my habit of playing the same tune over and over and over again when learning, which I know can drive people insane.

I got a chance to unbox, test and experience some of the new improvements and features of the iRig HD 2, which built on past iRig releases. Highlighting these improvements are: • ​24-bit/96kHZ audio quality • Integrated headphone output with level control • Amp out jack (with switchable output) • Comes with AmpliTube 4 software. IK Multimedia specializes in mobile music production devices, focusing specifically on guitar interfaces in conjunction with its popular AmpliTube 4 amp modeling and effects software. So, how does a device like the iRig HD 2 benefit you? Primarily, the iRig HD 2 interface allows you to use mobile amp modeling and effects processing applications to play guitar more freely, with or without a full rig. Its most significant benefit, that I can now vouch for (more on that below) is its portability. The iRig HD 2 interface essentially routes your signal through one of either a phone, tablet or computer, allowing you to use any of those devices as a fully functional amp modeler. 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. In fact, any software that can recognize and hear external audio should be compatible. An additional benefit (that I overlooked before trying the iRig HD 2) is that the small interface lets you plug in and play nearly anywhere

Wanted something very small and easy to use for practice, and this is pretty close to being an ideal solution. No, it won't give you studio quality of sound (what would you expect for <£30?), as a pre-amp it's noisy and I'm sure the HD/digital one is much improved (~£80) but this is great for professional and beginner alike as a practice tool. It's actually quite amazing to plug this into Garageband and within minutes be hitting those Gilmour bends with pleasantly surprising amp/pedal sounds. More or less plug in and play, no batteries - just guitar, cable and headphones; wish I'd had access to this kind of gear when I was practicing in my teens! Beats the hell out of lugging amps and pedals around. IK triumphant once again.

Really impressed with this device - there are loads of reviews taking about it's features. This review is to help anyone using an iPhone 7. If you're having trouble with this working, hopefully this review will help as it's an amazing bit of kit when it works. Bought one of these a couple of years ago and sent it straight back. I was using with an android phone and the lag made it unusable. As far as I know most Android phones don't have the audio chips to process the sound in real time. After a bit of research I bought another and tried it with an old iPhone 7 plus. Works really well, but only with a Belkin lightning audio and charge adapter (£30). Ive tried with a cheap lightning-headphone adapter (£5) claiming to be Apple certified, got no output at all. Other adapters may work. Agree with all the other positive reviews on the capabilities with Amplitude and Tonebridge. Fantastic. I used Lekato wireless system between guitar and irig, then Sony analogue wireless headphones MDR-rf865R (ebay). Overall lag isn't noticeable for practicing competely wire free.

this is a clever little gadget to stream live on social media. i have successfully telecasted the live with top clarity. loads of comments received for the sound output and I was absolutely thrilled. i was bit sceptical about this product as my trails were not good. i explored on youtube and watched several videos as the instructions included are pretty poor. my first trial had severe distortion, but a youtube video saved me. make sure you use stereo adaptors only. do not use mono as it may lead to poor sound quality. i have used various other equipment for live and so for the most cost-effective way is this tiny little gadget. lack of some led lights is a minus as there is no way you know if the unit is actually working or not.

The product its self is fine; more the website that cant seem to admit that this doesn't work with samsung phones. You can see its heavily marketed at the apple market, but often little mentions of android too. Fact is since android updated to (I think 9) they took the advanced sound drivers out, so this product is useless on android! Luckily I had an old iPhone 5s laying about and it does work great with that. Sounds good depending on the app you prefer. Eg it works with bias amp and bias fx (best tone in my opinion). Also garage band no longer works with older iPhones like the 5s so cant comment on that. The included ik multimedia app is mediocre and basically sets you up for micro-transactions... that the world we live in now hey :/

Well worth the money. I have a Roland PD 5 drum kit, a little mixer, a go pro and my samsung s10 + Everything through the mixer (backing tracks and PD5) via main mix out, into the Irig, which then goes into headphone jack of phone. Using irig recorder or if im making a music video- using native camera app which uses the Irig as sound source, can get decent quality results!

I returned it back. Nothing against the product itself but with the fact that it is useless due to its incompatibility with Android devices. I got a Lenovo S8-50 with Android 5.0.1 that supports the CTIA/AHJ wiring standard, but it does not work. Regarding the manufacturer's description: To be compatible, the mobile device must be compliant with the CTIA/AHJ wiring standard, which is illustrated as follows (see picture). As of today, all popular Android devices branded Samsung, LG, Motorola, Google Nexus, HTC, Huawei, Sony, Lenovo, Xiaomi and more, use this standard. They simply omit that they do not provide any app rather then Apple or Samsung even if you wont to pay for it ()the Amplitube UA app is just for AplitubeUA device and there are others such as the selected Samsung devices that support Samsung Pro Audio). And whit other apps simply it does not sound the input guitar (the output works fine, I can hear the guitar through the amp if I switch TH button and I can hear music in the amp from the tablet as well but no guitar input works to me). Even with Samsung galaxy S4 mini doe not work seen it is not an Android 5 device. IKMultimedia support replied me back saying I could use http://www.ikmultimedia.com/irigrecorderandroid or http://www.ikmultimedia.com/ezvoiceandroid which are useless to em seen I wanted to test some guitar effects rather then simply recording... I would have bought a mic otherwise. Returned back, I got the refund not problem about this

Ger gitarrspelet hemma en helt ny nivå. Koppla ihop gitarr, padda och lurar och få tillgång till en mängd effekter mm. Ingen förstärkare behövs heller!

I'll get straight to the point. Things to remember before buying this product: 1. This does not work with every android devices. Only Samsung devices support it. You can use other android devices but they all have latency issues. I tried with One Plus 5T. 2. If you have any IOS device (Apple products) then iRig 2 will work like a charm. I tried with new iPad 2017 model. 3. You will need to buy the amps, effects, looper, pedals, etc. once you install the Amplitube app. The free app has only 4 amps, 1 distortion, 1 noise gate, 1 delay, and 1 phaser. If you want a tube screamer then you'll have to buy if from in-app store. I think this is a neat product that allows guitarists to practice and play around with different sounds without have to spend a lot in buying real amps and pedals that are way too expensive to afford.

Happy with my purchase

Its nice and its working

Good for the price
