I'm Jost and I'm here with the iRig HD2
0:02
Okay, so let's unbox this and see what we get. A book for the complete user manual
0:10
How to register your product, download the apps. Here is the iRig itself
0:19
It's really small, a tiny box right here. You have a gain knob here on the side
0:26
This is a space where you can add a clip it seems
0:33
Then you have a headphone out. The USB-C input right here and then the instrument cable and an amp cable
0:44
So you can also hear yourself through your amp. With the USB-C cable
0:52
A USB-C to USB cable. That's also handy because I have a USB input port on my old Mac
1:01
and a USB to iPhone or iPad cable. It's also pretty neat
1:07
And a really nice Velcro tie clip. Okay, so let's hook this up
1:18
The cool thing here is that you can plug in the USB cable right here
1:23
and plug this into your computer. And you can plug your instrument cable right into here
1:28
Because normally you can't record your guitar straight to the computer. You have to have a sound card or something like that
1:35
And this iRig really makes that very easy. And I can also plug in a second cable
1:40
Also just an instrument cable. And this goes right into my amp
1:45
So let's plug this one in. Okay, so right now I've connected the iRig
1:50
And so let's see what you'd hear when I'm recording straight into the computer
2:08
Now it has a 96 kHz sampling rate. So this allows you to get a really pristine sound right into your computer
2:14
So you can have this like a very clean, very precise sound for your guitar
2:20
But you can also use this for different instruments. Any line enough instrument like keyboards or anything
2:25
You can input into your computer with this device. And this also allows you to add effects in post-production
2:32
Like a little distortion. Now you can still also listen to what you're playing right on your amp using the second cable
2:54
So let's hear what you'd hear through my amp. And you can also set the pass-through to through
3:16
So you get just the guitar signal to your amp. You can use your own effects right there or just the amp
3:27
So I really recommend this one for anyone looking for a pristine sound for your recording on your computer or your iPad
