IK MultimediaiRig 2 Mobile Guitar Interface, Black

This has been absolutely brilliant for me. I couldn't get my original iRig to work with the amazing free Tonebridge app, but this upgraded version not only works, but brings additional functionality. I can now plug my electric ukulele in to headphones or my little amp and make it sound like I'm playing electric guitar! I previously bought a Laney mini amp which had direct Tonebridge connectivity, but all I got was a terrible buzzing, horrendous feedback and poor control over volume. The iRig2 has solved all those issues, works flawlessley and is half the price. If you want to use Tonebridge, don't buy Laney, buy this!

I love my amp. I really do. But when you're living in a terraced home with paper-thin walls, even what to me feels like playing quietly apparently resonates all the way to the far corner of the next floor of the house, let alone the neighbours' living room on the other side of the wall from my own. I read a write-up about this product when I was, in a moment of pure desperation, looking to see if maybe, just maybe, it could possibly be safe to somehow plug headphones with a 1/4" jack into an amp's speaker outs (spoiler alert: it never is). But the iRig was mentioned, and it made me curious. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, and there's really not as much material on the internet about it as I would have liked, but I thought I'd bite the bullet and order it anyway.No regrets whatsoever. Yes, it took me the better part of an afternoon to get all the software and the audio driver set up on my PC to where they're working perfectly, but the only reason it took so much effort is because I'm a certified moron. Once I got it working, it worked and continues to work perfectly. Guitar plugs into the iRig via a 1/4" jack, iRig connects to the PC via USB (cable included in the box), a cheap pair of my speakers connect to the PC, but they're only used as an interface for the much better headphones. And just like that, through the use of the AmpliTube software that's included with the purchase, I can tweak the virtual set-up to my heart's content and destroy my eardrums with the crunchiest overdrive at 2am, all while my family and neighbours sleep soundly. AmpliTube also works as a (VST) plug-in for DAWs, although after some fiddling around, my understanding is that it's limited to 64-bit ones.Caveat: I'm not a sound engineer, a record producer, or a professional musician, so my ear isn't fine-tuned to every tiniest little imperfection. But I can say the following: if there's any latency, I don't notice it, and if the sound is supposed to be much worse than on a real amp, I'm not picking up on it. I bought this to be able to jam with headphones, and not only does it do facilitate that perfectly, but it does a whole lot of other things that I didn't expect but will accept as a pleasant bonus.

Bought this as a birthday present for my brother. Great piece of kit for low maintenance and setting up jamming, or even recording. Good sound quality and can now output straight to an amp as well letting you use the great fx you can buy to go with it. The amp sounds available are also good with nice editing ability. And all at a good price! The only negative I can see is that although I say the sound quality is great, there are some slight issues with android set ups. There are other types of this product available and having went between android and iOS when using it with my brother, I'd tend to recommend this one for iOS, but another brand for android.

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.

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
