Reviewing iRig HD 2 on its launch day, AskAudio's Hollin Jones was extremely impressed. Here are some of his key findings:

"It’s aimed at guitarists and bassists but actually works with any line-level signal including synths and drum machines."

"The unit itself is small and lightweight and comes with both Lightning and regular USB cables so it can be used with any recent iPad, iPhone or indeed a Mac or PC."

"Internally, the unit works at up to 96 kHz which is impressive in a bus-powered unit this small, and has 24-bit A/D conversion for crystal clear sound."

"Bundling AmpliTube both for iOS and for the desktop is a nice touch since they are powerful and mature applications and really help to provide a full package."

"This is a supremely portable and great-sounding little interface with some important new features for integrating your software processors into a live rig."

Hollin's final verdict is:

"Even if you use another recording or processing app on iOS or your Mac or PC the results are great, so it’s a clever, compact way to record and jam on the move."
