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

so far so good , had a little bit of lag while using it but it seems to come and go. keep in mind im pluging this into older iphone se with only 64gb space so its to be exspected

It works perfectly with or without the amp attached to it. I definitely recommend for anyone learning guitar on Yousician or anyone who loves Rocksmith because it works perfectly for both Android and PC version. This definitely deserves to be an Amazon's choice product.

This little gem is a game changer for guitar practice for me and at only 40 bucks it may the best toy I ever purchased for my guitar playing. Here is why I love it so far. 1. I can practice with headphones now and all I have to do is plug in my guitar, headphones, and the iRig2 into my iPhone or iPad. 2. Portable and small. 3. No batteries needed! 4. The free app has several useful practice features allowing me to do away with having several apps open at one time to practice. The free amplitube app has a tuner, can import and play backing tracks, can slow down tracks, can add effects without pedals, can access the iPad's mic, can record my practice sessions, has a metronome and more. One app to rule them all! 5. I can also plug into an amp if I don't want to use headphones. 6. I don't wake my wife and kid up when I practice and don't annoy them when they are watching TV. 7. The sounds quality is excellent for my intended use. No feedback yet and the external gain control is nice too. 8. The free app is easy to use. I figured out everything I will use in five minutes. 9. Plug and play even for a newbie. 10. I get to try more amps and effects than I could ever afford to buy or even want to buy without ever leaving the house. Of course, some of those will cost extra as in app purchases so keep that in mind. 11. I practice more now because it is less of a pain to get going. 12. I practice any where I want without having to bring an amp. Just my guitar and a few small items in my gig bag. A few observations. For the record, I am using an iPhone and iPad without issue so I can't speak to how it works with Android or others. Seems pretty sturdy. The mic velcro could be useful in the future for live use. Packaging is nice. It is smaller than I thought it would be. The extra cost for in app purchases may annoy some but after reading some complaints, I was pleasantly surprised by what is included. I can't believe it only cost $40 and that it works as advertised. Big surprise. I expected more bugs but I guess this is pretty basic technology. Unless you are playing live for money or you need professional quality recordings, I would skip the HD version and save $60 by getting this one. Extra pedals, drums, and amps cost more. They range individually for as low as $2.99 and as high as $99 for an "everything they sell" bundle. You can download the Amplitube app for free and have a look at all the extras before you even buy the irig2 if you like and then delete the app if you choose later. I should have purchased something like this a long time ago. Happy playing everyone!

So I got this thinking I was going to go full on amplitube android, even buying a new phone with the pro audio from Samsung. Then I realized that the android version as at this point in time crap compared to apple or PC and have switched to PC as my main use, for which this is useless and I'm looking for the ideal replacement device (most PC's lack TRRS inputs). But that problem has more to do with my attempted uses than the device as it's not intended to work with PC. My general experiences so far... For amplitube PC, I use a rocksmith cable with ASIO4all drivers. Even with adjusted settings/buffers, the latency is annoying and very distracting. However, this is where the irig 2 shines. I can't detect latency using this in my phone. Zero problems on that front. Where it does have issues though is the reliability and cleanliness of the sound. Sometimes it is so crackly that I would rate it a two or a three. I have found two solutions. First use the noise gate stomp, it helps with the crackles. Second try unplugging and replugging the device, I get different results each time I plug it in (mainly on the headphone jack end) and sometimes can get it fairly clean, this works better for me than adjusting the gain. Decreasing volume on my phone sometimes helps a little too. One thing I dislike is the length of the cables. I makes it awkward to position everything where the headphones won't be too short without buying and extension for the headphone cord. I opted instead to use the amp line out with my amp headphones and things are much better as that cable is longer than standard headphones. So to sum it up with grades by feature Latency: A Sound quality with the android app: anywhere from D to A-, just depends. Might be better with iphone/ipad since it's been around longer and more refined with more plugin options, but I haven't tried that Ergonomics: C unless you have an extension or use instrument headphones with a long cable, then it's an A given the size and light weight Versatility: B- (no mac or PC) Durability: Unsure. hardly use it given the above, but it's held up being transported in my hardshell guitar case and my gig bag. Note: I haven't tried playing it through my actual amp yet, but have read that for all versions that can distort the sound if your cab can't handle the frequencies the program puts out. Might be worth sending support an inquiry with your particular setup if that is your intention. Also FYI amplitube is not transferrable from android to PC/iphone, etc, so if you want the plug ins on both, you have to buy them for both.

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.

Works as advertised to interface a guitar and computer. Works well with the Gibson app, headphones, iPad Pro, and guitar.

This is a bad product all around. While it did work out of the box, the construction is very cheap, the gain knob crackled when it moved, even with nothing connected. When its plugged in, there is SO MUCH NOISE that its completely unacceptable, even with nothing plugged in. Dont go for anything under 50 dollars. This is cheap and not worth it. You would have better results buying a cheap microphone and pointing it at your instrument.

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.

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.

Lo primero antes de comprar el producto leí todos los comentarios sobre el ruido que producía, y en mi caso no fue una excepción al sonar y al grabar. Entendí eso sí que era la ganancia excesiva o el micro de mi ipad abierto o la combinación de ambas cosas a la vez; y tras mucho buscar y buscar, configurar de una u otra manera hallé respuesta y solución en añadir en Garegeband una pista de microfono y quitarle todo el sonido al micro, y al tambien configurar mi guitarra al 70% de volumen, y mi ipad al 50% también del volumen de sistema… y de repente ya no había ningún ruido, se oía y grababa de maravilla. Y funciona muy bien, pero eso sí… para hallar esta información fueron 4 días en los cuales pensé en devolverlo unas cuantas veces. Lastima que Irig no tenga un buen canal de comunicación y solución, me hubiera ahorrado muchas horas. No sólo es iRig, Apple también ha ocultado algunas configuraciones que antes erán más sencillas de hallar y dónde se véia más fácil cual pudiera ser el problema de no tener un canal limpio, y en Garageband han complicado la configuración en las últimas versiones. Pero bueno, funciona y contento. Espero que ayude y sirva a aquellos que encuentren el problema del ruido. Un saludo

Its nice and its working
