This looks great. It could easily replace the Two Notes CabM I use to demo pedals at guitar shows. The one question I have though, is why is this a pedal rather than a desktop unit? 

It's the compact pedal version of the IR-200 so if you want something more complex it's there.

If you want to step up again you go to the GT-1000 CORE.

No  no no. IRs on the Core are  a nightmare to load and use. I envy the headphone out, but I love my Ox Stomp apart from that omission.

My view is life's too short to fart about with IRs.

Watching the Andertons video now. Basically this is very likely to find its way to me as my elderly POD2 is starting to fail.

Can set up a nice little board up easy storage and seems to be all I would ever really need to be fair. 90% is just through headphones these days.

I've been waiting for a headphone cab sim that is semi decent for a while now....and under £200 too....I think this is it.

Finally a pedal that has all the features I want, maybe UAFX should take a look (bloody headphone out FFS), if the price is below £200 that makes one of the best compact IR pedal on the market!!

Battery power means I could use this when sat in my car whilst my kids are at random classes. Will check this out more

Stereo FX loop is a definite win for me. I think Boss have nailed it.

The manual only mentions iOS device support, I'd hope it works with Android too as it ticks every other box for me. The demos sound better to me than anything I've heard from the GT series, maybe it's the proper IRs vs the Boss AIRD cabs.

Home run for Boss methinks

Andertons demo sounds mega

This could be a cracking machine for home recording. Lighten the load on the computer!

Is it actually an amp though? Could it drive an unpowered cab or would it need an FRFR powered cab?

It's not an amp

Definitely considering one of these, looks like you get way more for your money and all the features that people were crying out for with UAFX and the Iridium. 

I need a headphone practice solution and a back up for the amp. These will sell like the hottest of hot cakes.

The Mesa model on the Andertons demo sounds absolutely fantastic....I'm pretty shocked how good it sounds.

This is going to be on all our pedalboards isn't it?  Cabsim, practice tool, DI, headphones and all for £180?!

Actually might get one before the year's out and keep my non-stop gear purchase going! lol

If I didn't have a SuperBlock US, I'd be very tempted!

usb-c playback is a great feature for practice. Hook your phone up with backing tracks, drum loops or play along. Tidy package.

Quick question for those more technically aware than me.

For live use, could this output to a splitter box?  One output going to the desk for FOH and the other to a powered FRFR/power amp & speaker?

Creed_Clicks

So should you treat this like an amp, and put effects pedals before it, or in the loop?
