So I got some hands on time with the IR2. Here's how to get fast response from effect to bypass mode and then bypass to effect mode. 1. Use an external footswitch for red to green/channel toggling. Not only is this essential for quick bypass and engagement, but the footswich has to be a momentary/un...

Can't wait for the review on Wednesday haha.

Haha!
It won't be as long winded.
Probably along the lines of: I love it, works and sounds great, does just what I need it to do, and it does more stuff than I'll ever use.

I don't have my IR2 yet, it's arriving tomorrow, so I can't answer with direct experience. By this time Wednesday, I will have a full report... However, I can relate some things I picked up reading the IR2 manual (to familiarize myself before it's arrival), how the IR2 is intended to be used, and al...

My IR-2 will be here on Tuesday! Can't wait!!

About 3 months later, one popped up used on ebay for $65 shipped. I jumped on that. Very happy with it. For years, they were rare...

I'm patient, been looking forward to this, and still have my two other IR 'amp' rigs in the meantime, thou...

...and this is how I'm currently using the bargain BCB6/PSM5 I got a few weeks ago. The "need a boost or some dirt?" board. The SD1 is my B50 version. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-0bRNyLnJL0pZOju37gIGvAJPjGm5zan3rARPapS3bn3vaUPlnCPlFwGg5OpFQeknUnDnu4gHHWpfyYq5WwzmNg?cn=THISLIFE&res=medium...
