TapSmart iRig 2 review March 2015

TapSmart, the site that shows you how to get the best from your iPhone and iPad, has gone in-depth with iRig 2: "A great piece of kit and a huge leap forward for iRig – current fans will welcome the boost, and newer users will find themselves with all the features they need."

TapSmart, the site that shows you how to get the best from your iPhone and iPad, has gone in-depth with iRig 2. Here are some of the comments from expert reviewer, Andy Price:

"in its sequel, IK has taken some major steps into producing a unit that could well become an essential bit of kit even for performers with a big old 2×12 stacked in the corner."

"The most important update is the inclusion of a second 1/4 jack output, enabling users to plug the iRig into their phone via the headphone jack, and then their guitar straight into the unit before running a second guitar lead back out of the unit and into an amp, or speaker system. This is hugely exciting for fans of the original iRig."

"The iRig 2 now has an input gain control to really give users full control over volume, tone, and situation. And it all works perfectly."

"Overall this is a huge leap forward for iRig. It really opens up its usefulness and range of possibilities, and there’s little to knock – including it’s pricetag."

"The AmpliTube app is pretty solid too, giving various mics, guitars, and cabinets to play with. You can scroll through different sounds and they change instantly, without any latency. "

Andy's final conclusion is:

"A great piece of kit and a huge leap forward for iRig – current fans will welcome the boost, and newer users will find themselves with all the features they need."
