BOSS IR 200 - Overview and Tones 

You know ;)

The unit sounds great with your IRs btw, I'm gonna have to steal them!

@@sixstringsamurai77 Steal them all!

Almost a "that's what she said" situation hahah

I prefer the tube preamp pedals: it sounds 2 times better and more natural for crunch, rock, metal, blues, lead tones=all what I need

Glad it was helpful!

Hope you're doing alright over there mate, hopefully won't be too much longer before we can all get out of the house and make some noises in public with these!

I'm glad you noticed the Purple Rain progression, that was a happy accident!

Much appreciated mate! Enjoy

My pleasure!

They actually put bass models in! Hurrah!

Yeah it definitely feels like a modeller for people who don't want to know about modellers

Soooo many options, i feel the pain bro!

How you liking the MX5? I want to try one out for sure, I don't see enough information out yet to make an "informed" decision myself

@@thenextkurt I jumped in after trying to decide between the Boss Core 1000 and the Pod Go for the last year and a half. This is the perfect in between choice. It does the dual amps and cabs like the Boss, has a good looper and comes with lots of already loaded IR's, and you can load into a patch way more effects than what the Pod Go allows. I was really worried when I first purchased it (the standard presets do not do it justice) and there seems to be no decent reviews out there that make this unit sound good , which is quite disappointing. I'm making my own presets and am constantly surprised at the tones I am getting. On some of the clean tones I'm actually using 2 compressors to get the feel right, but the box has plenty of power to do so and when you get the compression and gains right it feels great under the fingers. As good or better than my Katana 100 Mk2 or my tube amps (which I don't use anymore.) And ... I have not had to crack the manual (that's saying quite a bit because I'm an idiot.) ...if you buy one of these, don't give up on it, it's capable of really great tones with spectacular effects too. It just takes some time. Ask me anything about it, I'll tell you.

@@davidwoods358 wow. Seriously, thank you for taking the time to give a super thoughtful response. I especially like that note of "don't try the presets" because that's what I tell people about the Boss GT-1 and I can save the step of trying a preset when I'm able to demo one. I will for sure think of you if I have any other questions about the MX5, thanks again! Have a good night

Oh man! So many reviews fail to demo warm sounds at the edge of breakup! They're either clean af or high gain. Such a bummer. It's such great way to evaluate the nuances of a preamp/gain pedal. Ok, I'm preaching to the converted here. Rant over.

And it feels so right! Best Regards :)

+1000 for the Bryan Adams reference

I F'ing love my Preamp Live.

Well, basically for a couple of hundred bucks more you can get the GT1000 core with tons of boss quality effects, many more simulated amps, routing options and also IR loading-all under substantial DSP processing power. Worth taking this into account.

Maybe if you plug it into the stereo "Return" TRS input to bypass the preamp and then also turning off the IR cab simulation.

I have a PL fly rig..and a V5 fly rig...my whole rig is a one trip load in!!

Noise gate- yes, tuner - no.

@@LeonTodd perfect, going with the IR-200. Thank you for the reply!

I was thinking the same... With a ua lion

Anything similar by UA will probably be astronomical price wise unfortunately 😞

@@JohnPaulSheets I’m one of those if it is that bit more then I will happily pay that bit more.. I don’t really gripe prices unless the product is not up to the label. I agree that an equivalent device from UA will probably not be in the same price bracket as the UAFX pedals that are currently on show. I do think that lone of products still has a story to tell. Or like I said fingers crossed…

Haven't used it with this pedal, but love the Bognar Barcelona as a clean amp pedal platform.

I'll do a dedicated vid with some drives/fuzzes if I get the chance

@@LeonTodd aaaaaahhh!!!! What's up buddy!!! 😁👊🎸🤯

Yep, flick me an email Leontod@gmail.com and we can go from there

Should work great!

According to specs the input is mono. But for using stereo effects there is the return input which is stereo. The return should be usable standalone, so it should act like an independent stereo input but without amp simulation.

Latency is excellent - not sure on the exact time but it's well below the threshold of perception

@@LeonTodd thx very much for the quick reply

Yeah they're the GT-1000 amps - no X-Mod is a shame though!

@@LeonTodd why would boss exclude the only thing good about their GT Modellers? :)

That makes me so happy to hear!

I highly doubt that. Strymon seem to support their products for a long time AND there's a global shortage of particular electronic components needed to make those sort of pedals.

Thanks for the sub!

If it's like the other Boss 200 pedals you can customise the main two buttons to do whatever you want.

Peanut butter and jelly!
