Fantastic unit, a little confusing controls but lots of features.

Great. Includes a decent amount of free pedals. Different amps. It’s cool.

The iRig HD2 is the perfect solution to place your guitar through your iPhone. Simple, compact and a great sound quality.

I didn’t realize just how handy this device is, and that it allows me to use my iPad (or even iPHONE) to play along with SimplyGuitar lessons (and other apps). I was scared to order it because reviews had me second guessing, but they were wrong. This is the one to get!

Ein großartiges Tool für die Gitarre. Die kostenlos dazu gelieferten Verstärkermodelle sind für den Normalverbraucher völlig ausreichend. Einstecken und loslegen- so einfach geht das.

Great product ! I’ve been using it with my bass trough an Iphone with the « Bias Amp 2 » app. Great combo ! Sound better than my real amp. Definitely worth the money.

Interface de audio simples de usar e grava em ótima qualidade sonora.

Love the tuner. Works great with my MacBook Pro. Plays over my computer speakers. Yet to use in garage band though. Compact and reliable. It does seem to have a slight delay

I am very disappointed with this purchase. I received the product and it was clearly used and dirty. I am processing the return (from Chile).In the meantime I bought another one, and it arrived worse, with the box open and dirtier.Apparently I have received devices that were used in stores or that they had as samples.It is very disappointing, I think it is a great product, I have been using the iRig for years, and now I was hoping to be able to renew it but I received a used and dirty product.For my part, it will be the last thing I buy from IK, I will start looking for an alternative.

The unit itself is plain black plastic and feels like it should cost $20. It works with an iPad but there's no way to adjust individual app volume in iOS so if you try to jam along with Spotify for example or use two apps at once the volume levels are completely mismatched. I got it to work in Win11 but only after uninstalling my audio driver and messing with a lot of settings. IK's Tonex and Amplitube apps are pretty cool but when used on an ipad it produces continuous low level static. The best app if you're using this with an iPad is Primo by APFX, a free download.

La verdad uno como músico amateur le es de mucha, mucha utilidad, ya con el amplitube de computadora. Igual te permite grabar con tu celular y se escucha únicamente la guitarra, muy conveniente.

I wanted to try this interface for a while now and finally got my hands on one a couple of weeks ago. I've been trying it out ever since and honestly I really like it. It does sound just like a regular amp. I also bought the Dimebag Darrel presets on the shop and it sounds just like it. It's small and pretty simple to use. Technically just buy AmpliTube and plug it onto your device with the cables it came with and there you go. I love that it's also compatible with windows. BUT, that's where I found some issues. It works great for ISO devices and pretty much anything Apple-related. But when it comes to Windows it lacks a lot. Every time I found myself trying to use it on my PC it kept on messing with my audio. It disables all my other audio devices and it has a lot of static noise when plugged. Which is strange cause this doesn't happen on Apple devices though, so if you are getting it for that then really look no further. I would really recommend this for anybody that wants to try out a virtual amp. If you want to invest some more and buy yourself the pedal instead of just the interface I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it way more.

Pros:The iRig HD2 provides an inexpensive, easy way to play your guitar through your laptop, tablet or phone, for whatever reason you might want to do that. The interface quality is good, and I’ve experienced no latency issues whatsoever. iRig HD2 comes with the Amplitube 4 amp/effects farm.Cons:The literature says: “Comes with AmpliTube 4 for Mac/PC, Unlocks full version features and gear of AmpliTube for iOS (Free download from App Store),” but that’s a little misleading. You have to really hunt to find out how to unlock the real version of Amplitude 4 — it took me four or five emails with IK to figure it out. And once unlocked, it’s still a hamstrung version, where most of the best amps, cabs, speakers, effects, and presets remain paid upgrades. But you get plenty of basic stuff to work with for non-critical applications. Considering the hardware and software together only cost $100, my gripe is more with the misleading marketing claims than the product itself.The electronics in the iRig HD2 seem to be of high digital quality, but the unit itself is very light weight and feels kind of flimsy — even it it isn’t. The weak point is the connection point for, and/or the USB chord on the unit side. Once plugged in and working, if the unit jiggles — which is pretty likely when a guitar chord plugged into it — the connection between the hardware and AmpliTube 4 usually drops for a few seconds, and when it does, you have to reboot AmpliTube 4. Imagine that in a live environment.AmpliTube 4 is kind of buggy, too. When I first started using this setup, it seemed to be working properly on both of my Mac laptops, but after a few months, I’ve had trouble with software crashes on both machines. I can usually get it to come back, and it seems to have stabilized again, but at one point, I needed (on both machines) to delete my AmpliTube 4.settings file from the IK Multimedia directory deep within the system library so the software would generate a new, clean one. Only my decades in the software industry led me to try this, and it did seem to solve the problem. You can create support tickets with IK, and they do get back to you, but my dealings with support on the unlocking the real version of AmpliTube 4 situation didn’t fill me with a lot of confidence.I use this setup for practice only — through Mac earbuds, no less, so the sound quality isn’t particularly inspiring in my particular use-case. Given that IK pitches this as both a live a recording solution, your mileage may vary. For live, IMO, I wouldn’t rely on it for anything larger than a coffee house kind of gig, where it might be enough. Though the chance of the connection dropping or the software crashing would likely scare me off. For recording using AmpliTube 4 as your amp, you might get good results, and as I said, I haven’t experienced any latency issues. Personally, I’d have to hear it in the context of recorded tracks, through studio monitors.Summary:I wanted a way to centralize my entire practice routine and all of my resources (TABs, backing tracks, reference diagrams, videos, practice log,) onto my laptop. iRig HD2 let me do that at a very reasonable cost.
