IK Multimedia iRig HD 2 guitar audio interface for iPhone, iPad, Mac, iOS and PC with USB-C, Lightning and USB cables and 24-bit, 96 kHz music recording

Got this so I can practice with headphones on. My sister has cancer, and I cant run my tube halfstack with EV 12L's, when she has her migraines. I have kidney failure, and we wonder who has it worse. Anyway, I got this to play quietly, and it does that. It's more of a studio interface, with 2 different usb adapters, one for new apple, and one to plain usb. It has 1/8in headphone jack, and 1/4 mono out if you want to use as a effect for your amp. You do have to buy effects additionally to this product which I was not aware of. $150 gets you all, and is pretty reasonable for the money considering what you get. I've had a real Soldano, Mesa, and presently a Splawn Nitro. and Amplitube software is waaaaay nicer sounding than Line6 amp emulating stuff. I always had lag when using other emulating toys, like the playstation 4 rocksmith. I don't with this. Garageband sucks with this, in my opinion. Amplitube is free and comes with one amp. You have to pay for more, but you can get Mesa, Marshall-esk, Fender, Engl, Orange, Vox-ish amp models. Then you have the stomp box models, from noise gates, to reverbs, delays, to even EQ's. Then cabinet models, several 4x12's from mesa to marshall to orange. even 2x12's. Enough on the pay options. I also use this as an interface for the strobe tuner on my Iphone. I can very accurately dial in tuning and intonations on my guitars. Even my Floyds. I have the full 'PitchLab' strobe tuner app, and I've used it for years on both android and apple.

I haven’t played guitar seriously in a long time. One of the main reasons is when I sit down to play I legitimately only have 15 to 30 minutes to play because of my busy lifestyle. If I have to tinker around with amp settings or locating a good guitar tab, that eats into most of my practice time. Having this tool allows me to get the exact sound coupled with using Ultimate Guitars pro tabs, I am able to sit down plug-in and instantly start playing what I want. This has greatly helped my playing because it keeps me engaged and keeps it fun without being near as stressful as I found it to be in the past. I plug headphones and my guitar into this device and have no issues on latency, sound, quality, etc. I would recommend this to any beginner, novice, gigger, whoever plays this is a great tool.

I got this thing to take with us on travel dates so I could go over music, last minute changes, etc., in my room. I paired it with an iPad Pro, and it works great - plenty of volume, interface was easy to set up, has the phones jack and a vol control on one side and an instrument vol on the other, so you can easily blend what you're playing in with what you're listening to. I didn't have any problems running AmpliTube with it, and pulling up YouTube and/or my setlist and notes, etc all at the same time. Very productive for those last minute fill-in gigs, etc. The only downsides are that this thing is *light* - it weighs next to nothing and once you plug an instrument cable into it, you'll be pulling it all over the place. there's a clip of some sort on the back of it, and I think it's intended for you to put it on your belt, etc., but you won't be doing that because the cable that connects it to the IOS device is only ~18" or so. If you're going to connect this to your iPhone, then put your phone in your pocket, clip this thing on your belt, and then connect your guitar or bass (or whatever) to it with a short cable, you're golden (until you nee to pull your iPhone out and change tracks). If you're setting up to run a setlist down in your room, or just work on stuff, you'll want to put a brick or something on top of your cable to keep from dragging this thing around. Still, it's a huge win - I'm very happy with it, and I use it all the time. Not digging the brick I'm carrying around in my gig bag now, but that's life.

I wanted to try this interface for a while now and finally got my hands on one a couple of weeks ago. I've been trying it out ever since and honestly I really like it. It does sound just like a regular amp. I also bought the Dimebag Darrel presets on the shop and it sounds just like it. It's small and pretty simple to use. Technically just buy AmpliTube and plug it onto your device with the cables it came with and there you go. I love that it's also compatible with windows. BUT, that's where I found some issues. It works great for ISO devices and pretty much anything Apple-related. But when it comes to Windows it lacks a lot. Every time I found myself trying to use it on my PC it kept on messing with my audio. It disables all my other audio devices and it has a lot of static noise when plugged. Which is strange cause this doesn't happen on Apple devices though, so if you are getting it for that then really look no further. I would really recommend this for anybody that wants to try out a virtual amp. If you want to invest some more and buy yourself the pedal instead of just the interface I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it way more.

It works great with any social media. I love my irig!

Love that I can use this and have access to infinite combinations of electric guitar amps thru my iPhone with GarageBand and with the AmpliTube app. The iRig is easy to use, with the available connections I was up and running thru headphones in minutes. I now have mine hooked up to my vintage stereo amp running through bookshelf speakers. I had to buy a separate cable output from the 3.5mm headphone jack to RCA cables though. The plus side is I can now crank it up really loud!!! I took my guitar to my buddies house, and he plugged the iRig into his Bluetooth speaker. we got good sound out of it as well just for messing around in his living room. When you buy the iRig, you get access to the AmpliTube app. The sound quality of the app is great, it’s a bit complicated to use though.

works great especially with the Tonebridge app!

The device uses micro usb adapter wires to connect to your devices, which wouldn’t be a problem (well I’m assuming there will be latency issues) if they were more transparent about it. The product pictures clearly show a usb C cable where you’d connect a usb cable, the specs only say “usb technology”, you have to search and search and I only found 1 spot that said micro usb. The front of the box advertises it includes a usb C cable, as if that’s how it interfaces That they clearly try to hide this makes me distrust the company and their product quality.

Me lo recomendaron para grabar música directamente desde la guitarra al ordenador. Cumple su función 💯

Ottima interfaccia audio per iOS .. anche perché ne esistono davvero poche compatibili con iOS .. se confrontata con ad esempio la audient id4 si sente la differenza che la la audient ha un suono migliore quindi : se acquistata per essere usata con iOS ok , se acquistata per essere usata con pc c’è di meglio a quasi lo stesso prezzo ( ps : il connettore micro usb è un po debole se viene attaccato e staccato spesso , la mia dopo un po ha cominciato a fare i capricci quindi consiglio di prestare attenzione

Works great as expected

Great product, the best guitar interface ever, it gives killer tones when used with Garage band. And the big one no feedback!!!! When I started playing the other day in jam room, my friends got a jaw dropping experience. Finally my sound issue got solved for ever and now I can just concentrate on my playing.

This thing is absolutely awesome. I had a few professional grade amplifiers prior to purchasing this that ran me around two thousand dollars each. I like experimenting with different sounds so I liked having different amps and pedals for different sounds that I wanted to achieve. I think I paid like 300 bucks to unlock everything on the accompanying AmpliTube app, which is literally hundreds of amps/cabs/pedals/fx, and it made me feel like a sucker for paying so much for amps. Don’t get me wrong, you aren’t going to get the absolute buttery tones that you can out of high end tube amps, but unless you’re a professional musician you probably aren’t going to notice. I would say that most of the amps sound between 85-95% right... which for $300 + the interface price is an unbelievable deal. I use a Fender strat w/ Texas Special pickups, a Gibson SG, an Ibanez RG and a PRS custom 22 and I feel like I could pretty much get any tone I want to using this. Highly recommend this product with AmpliTube for anyone who likes experimenting with different sounds, and this product alone works great for connecting your guitar to your mobile device. The only thing that is annoying about this product is that if you buy any amp packs on the iOS version they do not carry over to the android version, but that probably isn’t an issue for most people.
