The IK Multimedia iRig2® adds input gain control, a 1/4-inch amplifier output jack and Android smart phone compatibility. So guitar and bass players can run a cable to their favorite amp as well as their headphones—without an adapter. IK’s AmpliTube® guitar and bass multi-effects processor running on your phone is a whole new effects rig using IK’s vast library of virtual stomp box effects, amplifiers and other gear.
iRig 2’s added switching allows dual-mode operation. FX lets musicians send a processed signal to their amplifier from apps like AmpliTube. THRU sends a clean signal, letting musicians use their mobile device as a tuner, recorder or other utility while maintaining a 100% analog signal path to their amp.
iRig 2 has a built-in universal 1/8-inch TRRS output connector that works on iPhone, iPod Touch, Mac and Android. It comes with a powerful cross-platform suite of apps and software that includes free versions of AmpliTube for iOS, Android and Mac/PC.
iRig 2 sells for $39.99 MSRP.
