About this deal

We opened up AmpliTube, registered our device within the app, and off we were, greeted with the sweet tone of a crunchy guitar amp pumping through our headphones. Here are a few other ways you can set things up, using either the 1/8" headphone jack or the 1/4" amp out jack. it is a comprehensive tool for boosting your creativity and the quality of your audio content with all the convenience of a handheld form factor. Moreover, it's just a lot of work to haul my entire swath of guitar gear up into the living room for what amounts to 20 minutes of practice.

Once I had everything plugged in and was able to play (I tested headphones first, then the iLoud Micro Monitors) the tone I got out of the system was absolutely phenomenal. Prior to doing this review we were more familiar with Guitar Rig by Native Instruments, but it only took us a few minutes to get accustomed to AmpliTube’s intuitive interface. With AmpliTube 5 SE's default amp, I used the clean channel and, at times, a little reverb or chorus layering. and Amplitube All In One has all the killer noise suppressors and noise gates used by many famous player, like I wrote the Irig Hd 2 already makes for a super low noise interface, and if you need to kill any residual noise on ultra gain settings, any of the noise gates on offer will work very easily, I just plugged the Slash noise gate in Amplitube and worked immediately, very easily. Even other DAWs like GarageBand, Ableton Live or any software that can recognize and hear external audio devices, will be compatible.Trevor Curwen has played guitar for several decades – he's also mimed it on the UK's Top of the Pops.

It comes with full download versions of AmpliTube 4, the hyper-realistic guitar and bass tone studio for Mac/PC, and AmpliTube for iOS, the number one amp and effects app for iOS. iRig 2's new 1/4” output jack lets you use iRig 2 with an amplifier as a part of your live rig without the use of an adaptor. iRig HD 2 is the only guitar/bass interface that comes with full versions of the industry’s top selling tones studio software and apps. iRig HD 2 fits easily in your pocket and connects directly to your Lightning and USB devices – so no matter which iPad, iPhone, Mac or PC you have, you’re ready to rock at a moment’s notice. Everything was clear, crisp and even had an addictive quality to it, which reminded me nothing of the tiny headphone amps I’ve used in the past.A truly game-changing feature that makes functionality on stage and in the studio incredibly easier, and with the dual-mode switch chose which signal you want to send to your amp. Not only does iRig Mic HD 2 come complete with all the cables needed to hook it up, but also with the necessary “add-ons” to help you get the most out of it right out of the box. For example, the iLoud Micro Monitors (also developed by IK Multimedia) work great as they can use the headphone output via another 1/8" audio cable.

If you’re just using the interface to loop in your Amplitube software, can you confirm that both the software and your amp are on a clean, low-gain channel/setting? When we say, “a higher level,” we mean you simply won’t find better with this many features and this much value. Quick and easy-access living room practice, that stays at minimal noise levels, is an ideal way to use the iRig HD 2. It comes with a microphone stand mount and Velcro strip that allow you to easy attach it for performance alongside other convenient tools like IK's iKlip range of mic supports for all sizes of smartphones and tablets.Just connect it to my iPhone, shoot a video like normal and it records both the backing track and the drums. The time from unboxing the iRig HD 2 to playing was short; probably less than five minutes if I hadn't been taking my time and wading through packaging.
