Ola you are the best, and you always give me a chuckle no matter what the topic!

I own one and I absolutely love it. The versatility of this thing is what sold me on it. Fantastic product.

Its been almost 30 years since I got my first guitar as a kid. The years went on and I had less and less time to play. Been too long, though I still have that first guitar! THIS Boss pedal? Dude its a game changer and frankly I want to go play right now on my dusty Waza MT-2 and Crate GX-212... and then plan to buy this pedal cause all those tones sounded KILLLER. Thanks for the demo Ola!

The IR 2 is really diverse for the price point. Adding the IR2 to an analog pedal board and loading your own IRs makes the IR2 super versatile. I love mine. Moreover, being able to plug direct into a mixing board, PA, FRFR, or mixing software (without needing a DAW) is pretty cool. 🤘🏻

Also the Ambience stock setting is a room reverb. You can switch to a Hall or Plate and the Plate sounds GREAT.

I would love to see a metal zone plugged into the clean channel of the IR2 to give us perspective of using this as a clean platform for distortion pedals :)

Great video as always and that pedal seems a great piece of kit for using in cover bands & original music as it is quite diverse👍🏻

A parametric EQ would help so much with this pedal. I might get it for gigging honestly. Good little practice and gig board.

I got this as soon as it came out. Comes in real handy for late night jams so you can’t bother the neighbors. lol. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽

Hey the remote footswitch also lets you use the main pedal to turn it on and off and then the footswitch will change channels (instead of the "hold to bypass"). Kind of nice if you need a clean channel (which can just be straight into the PA), a high gain channel for punk rawk chugs, and then a solo channel with a signal boost and maybe a bit more reverb.

Tmho is the most distinct high gain tones I've ever seen in a small unit. You can actually hear the difference between them and in a good way.

Probably would be really good with an EQ pedal in front of the IR pedal.

nice demo, i'm impressed

Been interested in this pedal since it released. But I often wonder if the upside of its familiar stylings vs the digital menu diving feel of the ir-200 is also a downside. Dual function concentric knobs can feel a bit cramped and perhaps a slightly larger form factor would have allowed for more comfortable knob tweaking. I do appreciate the sounds and features however. It feels like a step up from the ir-200 despite not having some of its features and capability. Sounds better imo

Kinda cool old pedals are coming back with the addition to this and the line 6 one last week

Very useable. Tons of great possibilities. 👍🏻

It's alright....I really Love that Guitar!!!

LOL!!! You demoing this unit helped figure out a way to get a better rectifier sound on my GT-1000

Seems like it would be a really good super simple travel rig. Maybe just add like a reverb pedal and that's it. It has headphone out built in. Might have to get me one of these!

5:41 That's how the treble works on a Multi-Watt Recto, that's probably what they are emulating on that mode and that's actually really cool. Very few amp sims/models ever capture that detail on the Multi-Watt so I commend them for the accuracy.

i like cheeseburgers

While looking through our studio inventory, I found something that looks like a Behringer MT-2 clone. Sounded surprisingly great, although I was playing through a fat Orange amp/cab

The 2 is because it's part of the 2nd range of boss pedals, the boss compact series. The original range was like the old boss chorus ensemble.

Sounds pretty good.

HalfLife T-Shirt! Sweet! (I got the IR-2 after my amp caught on fire during a show. I love it for patching directly into a DI-BOX to PA). No more heavy gear! just guitars and pedal board and In-Ears!

I have the Boss IR-200, which is the somewhat bigger unit with more adjustability. I liked some of the tones on it. A lot of the tones on this remind me of my 200, but with the lack of adjustability due to no digital readout and such. Still, it does an ok job. I still like my IR-200 tho :) You should try it, you might like it. Very Metallica-ish, but I used it for some songs and it sounded pretty good! The bass presets aren't terrible either.

@ravendagrey

I agree this unit is nice but if you are going to make or break the pedal board it has it place but the IR200 for the little more real estate it takes seems to be the better unit overall especially as it isn't that much more considering. I got mine on sale for $429 CAD which works out to be around 291 Euro

I ❤ that Solar guitar!! Beautiful guitar, Ola!! The pedal is pretty cool, too

Ola overdrives everything

Compassion left behind, set for a controllable mind! (Or something like that) I've been curious about this piece of gear. Thanks.

It’s cool. I feel the pedal format isn’t really ideal for it but….i would have loved it when I started playing in the 90s

Thanks For The Demo, Beautifull Colour Guitar ByThe Way. Which Solar Model is it?

My good sir, what is your fav chug and how to acquire it? I need to watch more of your videos, they've all been great so far, a blast.

I'm more curious to see a review on the new line 6 pod express.

Hey Ola would you ever consider to please do an old school tab run through of Trespass?

I understand why Ola tried the Precision drive with the Boss IR-2. The Horizon Devices Precision Drive is always on with my distorted tone. I can’t imagine my rig without it.

7:35 woah!!! Was that Mors Principium Est we heard there?!?

Of the high gain settings, the soldano setting sounded best to me.

I wonder how the clean tone would sound with a metal pedal going into it? Like an Empress Heavy or Metal Muff or Revv.

I have IR-200 and use it only for clean tone, EQ and pedal base feeding it with analog drive pedals.

The clean is louder for the same reason it's louder on most other amps. I've tried. No compression from the high gain! At least, that's what I always thought.

This literally reminds me of the tonal qualities of the Cube series of amps to the T

Rise and shine..Mr Englund..Rise and shine

Tried one, wasn’t terrible but wasn’t thrilled with it. Sounds fine for a tiny practice amp type setup or something but not sure it works great otherwise. Doesn’t beat my thr30ii for a practice setup.

Does it chug...seems so...really a couple settings there sounded great to me..

Ola is just a wild and crazy guy

Boss have some really good pedals even in this price range. For almost the same price you'd get a GT-1 with a travel bag for instance.

♫ It’s never too scooped. It’s impossible. More is more. How can less be more ? (Yngwie told us).

impressive ! I want it ! thx for the test

A few years ago I bought my first modeler for about $500 US. It's amazing and can do almost anything. I hate it, wish I'd waited and bought this instead.

Maybe dialing back on the ambience (which was maxed out during the IR upload part) - may change the sound to more balanced.

I love leaving an engaging comment. :) Well done on the vid though Ola

How do these types of pedals work with the clean setting, and using a distortion pedal in front of it? Like a Revv or something.

I'm not sure about those compact amp-sim pedals. They don't really chug. Or they only start chugging at the most extreme of settings. Especially with passive pickups... Don't forget - Ola is using active pickups here, and still it ain't that tight. I've tried some of these and they seem to cry for the addition of a tube screamer. And that's fine, I mean in the end they simulate amps that also might need an overdrive pedal. But for me, in the end I found a multi-effects pedal that incorporates overdrive pedals to be more versatile.
