Purchased to replace an ageing Line 6 Gear Box Guitar Port GX that theoretically is not compatible with Windows 10 but has been working under Windows 10 for ages. The Line 6 Gear Box Guitar Port GX not being AISO compatible and having low audio output has started to become more of a nuisance to use lately and so I reluctantly started to look around again for a replacement. I settled on the iRig HD 2 after reading several reviews.The iRig HD 2 arrived well packed and after reading the installation manual several times, not really necessary but I was looking for possible problems of which there were basically none for a normal installation, I installed the iRig HD 2 onto my Windows 10 PC.

I bought this after reading numorous reviews to simply allow me to practice in quiet. I wasnt expecting much from the item considering.For me, the reviews couldnt be any further from the truth. The sound quality is excellent, the delay between picking a string and the sound is barely noticeable, its pocket sized and easily transportable and it is very easy to setup and use. I use a samsung galaxy s9+ with a free app called tonebridge and there is a massive collection of premade sounds which are very accurate to the songs.The only downside would be the build quality. I have had no issues with mine yet after only having it a short time, but it doesnt feel built to last.

Most of the time when practicing at home with my Guitar I use this amazing piece of equipment, due to living with a number of other people, I often try to keep the noise down when playing, so I reverted to this. The IRig allows me to connect my guitar to my phone and practice both through headphones or through my amp, allowing the use of virtual pedals available in the Amplitube app. Have used this product for a while now and have able to do so much with it, such as trying out pedals virtually which I am interested in buying properly and much more. Perfect for practicing and learning as I was always worried about making too much noise, along with my habit of playing the same tune over and over and over again when learning,

Although this is advertised for use as a guitar interface, I bought this to use to stream DJ mixes through an iPhone (Facebook Live, YouTube etc) and it works excellently. Connect a 1/4" cable from the booth output of your mixer (whichever is the 'mono' output), adjust the levels and you're set. I note that other users have complained that using it in this fashion means that the audio will be mono instead of stereo, but your phone is only configured to accept a mono input anyway (you'll be connecting this input to your phone's headphone jack, i.e. usually an output for your phone). As long as you're putting a good signal in and using a good mixer,

Wanted something very small and easy to use for practice, and this is pretty close to being an ideal solution. No, it won't give you studio quality of sound (what would you expect for <£30?), as a pre-amp it's noisy and I'm sure the HD/digital one is much improved (~£80) but this is great for professional and beginner alike as a practice tool. It's actually quite amazing to plug this into Garageband and within minutes be hitting those Gilmour bends with pleasantly surprising amp/pedal sounds. More or less plug in and play, no batteries - just guitar, cable and headphones; wish I'd had access to this kind of gear when I was practicing in my teens! Beats the hell out of lugging amps and pedals around.

Though not complicated to use, you do need to know what you are doing with it. I use this in my podcast studio where I sometimes live stream and take phone calls. This device is absolutely wonderful. I plug it in to my audio mixer and it works perfectly.

Great device for hooking up your guitar. However IK MULTIMEDIA give you nothing special when it comes to Amplitube!!! All effects come at a price!! Would of hoped for a few free effects after paying £30 but hey ho

If you have lower level apple stuff like an iPhone or an iPad and want to record it works ridiculously well with garage band! actually released music with stuff using this interface. So cheap as well!

Good quality, easy to use and works great even connecting a cable from line output on my tube amp into the input on the iRig HD2 and using it as an "clean" interface to record the tone from my amp.

Excellent product!Note that if you are using it with an Android device, it needs to have Android 5 installed (obviously the people who complained about it below didn't realise that)!

Immediate and easy to use with a little ‘future proofing’ thrown in.The thought of setting up equipment when inspiration strikes puts me off recording, but this couldn’t be simpler.

Does exactly what I wanted it for, streaming / recording mixing from dj controller. Perfect sound quality and very easy to set up.
