🔥 Boss IR-2 Amp & Cabinet Compact Pedal – Amp Emulation + IR Powerhouse
Dial up tones that slam, sing, and scream — all from a stompbox footprint that’s pedalboard-friendly and gig-ready. The Boss IR-2 isn’t just another amp simulator: it’s a premium amp emulator and cabinet IR loader that gives you studio-level amp sounds without hauling a stack to every show. Whether you’re practising late night, recording direct, or going straight into a house PA, this is the Swiss Army knife your tone has been begging for.Â
