MODELER- BOSS IR-2 ___ NEW ___ standard size pedal

$200.00 USD
BOSS IR-2 Amp & Cabinet
A pedal size version of the IR-200. A modeler uses its switches and knobs for multiple functions so I will skip my usual 'Layout' ...outside of it has Ambience, Level, Gain and rotary dial for choice of Amps.
The pedal has 11 amps and 2 ir cabs with Celestion voicings.  
 
CONCLUSION ____
Like all the 'budget' Modelers in a standard enclosure they sound like someone through a blanket over your speakers when compared with many $400 modelers. Yes it is double but the better $400 modelers sounds can pass for the sounds in a $2000 modeler when used in context. 
Modelers are terrible with clean sounds even the better modelers clean Fender amps sound tiny and thin. 
For the very casual player or weekend cover band it will 
however do the job nicely.

NOTE: ...the second video is from Leo Gibson who owns at a minimum 10 or 12 modelers from the popular to the stupid levels in price.  
All of which he bought so he is not 'owned' by any company. Most of which he has done a scientific deep dive on every feature and 
proving what specs that are published are true, exaggerated or left out to hide weaknesses etc.  
I hate modelers but if he says anything it has 100% credibility. He allows me to keep you informed fairly. If you are a Modeler guy 
and you do not watch the guy you could make some damn expensive mistakes. In short read my comments once and listen to him twice, LOL
