iRig 2 portable guitar audio interface, lightweight audio adapter for iPhone and iPad with instrument input and headphone/amplfier outs

It’s the simplest interface you can muster but iv got to have my tone and this delivers I run AmpliTube through it perfect software no latency issues after I run it back into my wife’s amp and it sounds great studio quality. I need to upgrade but it gets me the distortion I crave\m/ portable, time friendly easy to hook in.

I have been playing guitar with a traditional cheap amp for years. Just dealt with it because I didnt have the money to buy expensive amps and get good tones. Then I found ios, tonebridge, interfaces and sims... Game changer... Let me say, before I tried this, I was convinced that interface tech needed to be powered. Using an analog piece like this to convert signal would just be impossible, would result in either latency or muddied sound... I tried it anyway for portability and trying my iPad with my guitar on tonebridge or garageband for the first time. WOW. I was wrong. This item works much better than expected. Can't believe its only $40 to be honest. Pros: - No latency. This was super surprising to me. - Inexpensive way to get your guitar hooked into an iOS device like an ipad. This unlocks a world of options, amps, and tones (see below). - Sounds fine. With amp sims and aws tools (tonebridge, garageband) you can boost nearly any level/frequency so you can make this piece sound great Cons: -Honestly none. Zero, and I went into this HATING this piece expecting it to fail; it did not. -Could mayyyybe say you wanted a beefier piece, or better tone, but come on, not for $40... Final Impression: If you play traditional guitar and amps and have never tried interfaces and amp sims, this is an eye opening experience, like finding the guitar for the first time all over. Get an ios device, even a $150 ipad, then get this interface (or the irig hd 2, see below). Plug it in and get FREE apps like garageband and Tone bridge, and you will get amps and sounds you NEVER thought possible without thousands of dollars. Note: Also bought the iRig HD 2 to compare. If your sounds have gain/distortion, the difference is actually much more subtle than I expected. The Irig sounds muddier then then HD, but only very slightly. Clean tones there is a more noticeable difference. I went with the Irig HD 2 because I am willing to spend 100$ vs 40$ for any little bit of clarity, but if I was on a tight budget, the Irig 2 would work fine.

Awesome and works great !

I bought this to use at my church. I use it to be able to live stream from our sound board in the easiest and most cost effective way possible. Pros: It did the job. You just plug it into the phone or whatever you’re using to record. It couldn’t be easier. It’s cheap. Cons: It’s not made for what I was using it for. It only works on apple products. If you have a digital board, look for a digital version of this. It also was hard to determine the volume level on the irig. There are no markings just a dial type thing. (Don’t know what it’s called, sorry.) There’s no way of knowing if it’s peaking until you record and listen after you’re done. That’s not great for live sound. Finally, it has a hard time with hi tones. Our female vocals and our electric guitars would peak long before anything else would. Our circumstances due to Covid were that we wanted to spend as little money as possible to get a livestream of our services. The way I would sound check sound levels ahead of time would be to do one instrument at a time and record onto my phone and listen back to what it recorded. Then we would all play together and listen back to the recording. Every tweak we made required us to do another recording and listen to see if it fixed the problem. It was time consuming and not the best tool for the job, but it worked and we didn’t spend a lot of money. If you have the money to spend, get something else. If not, this will work it will just require more time and patience.

I bought this to start using virtual effects and amp models in my iPhone, mostly with live performance in mind. The iPhone I'm using for this is an older one, an iPhone 6, and that's one reason I chose the iRig2, since it takes advantage of the 6's 3.5mm headphone jack, leaving the lightning port free for other uses. Also, I love the simplicity of this analog unit, and the price is great. I primarily use Tonestack for my virtual effects, and it pops up a warning with the IRig2 about higher risk of feedback with headphone jack interfaces. Because of this, Tonestack automatically turns on feedback protection for this device, and I've had no issues at all. I'm mostly plugging into this with a simple and inexpensive soundhole pickup mounted in my acoustic guitar. I initially worried about latency, but it hasn't been an issue for me - seems fine for my purposes. Sound quality has been great. I really love this little device. It let me repurpose an old iPhone 6 that was just sitting unused in a drawer, and now I have a very economical virtual guitar setup that's working great for my needs.

Just what I needed for my djing

Muy fácil de usar y funciona con muchas aplicaciones. Solo lo conectas al dispositivo y listo (en mi caso dispositivos iOS). Cuanta con entrada para audífonos, muy practico.

Works perfectly, it took me a little to figure out how to use it properly but once I did it's never failed me once during a live stream or during a mix recording via my phone camera.

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.
