IK Multimedia announces iRig® BlueBoard, a groundbreaking new Bluetooth MIDI pedalboard for iPhone, iPad and Mac, which gives guitarists, bassists and keyboard players hands-free control of mobile and Mac music apps.
Even with all its impressive functionality, iRig BlueBoard measures only 27cm wide x 9cm deep (10.6" x 3.5"). It's extremely lightweight, but with a sturdy, stageworthy chassis and four footswitches made of soft-touch rubber and designed for durability. Because of its ultra-low profile (it's only 2cm / 0.8" tall) the unit can easily fit on a desktop.
