High-resolution stereo speaker IRs
Incorporating two powerful special DSPs, the IR-200 provides exceptional IRs thanks to compatibility with mono and stereo files, a resolution of 32 bits floating point at 96 kHz, and a duration of 500 ms to benefit from a response natural bass. The 144 BOSS IRs and 10 Celestion Digital IRs cover a wide range of cabinet and mic combinations, ready for use in your patches. And thanks to the IR-200 Loader software for Mac and PC, you can load up to 128 mono or 64 stereo WAV IRs from your personal collection.
Premium guitar and bass amp sounds
The IR-200's amps provide very pleasant sounds to play, which interact very well with the different types of pedals you use. The eight guitar amp types deliver clean, tweed and Class A tones, as well as vintage and modern high gains, while the three bass amps deliver punchy tones, whether clean or overdriven. Each amp type has gain, bass, midrange and treble controls to quickly dial in your ideal base tone. A noise suppressor helps tame the buzz caused by high gains. It is also possible to completely bypass the amp section and use the IR-200's high-quality cabinet IRs with an amp/Load Box setup or external amp modeling.
A detailed check
Providing precise sound adjustment tools and 128 memories, the IR-200 allows you to create your library of settings adapted to all situations. Have different amps depending on the style played, use the two graphic or parametric EQs, and add space with one of the three ambient effects. Two IRs can be used simultaneously, allowing you to mix sounds and create stereo audio landscapes. An effects loop compatible with stereo effects is also available and can be positioned before or after the cabinet IR, with series or parallel operation. At the end of the chain, the two global EQs allow you to refine the final result.
