Introducing the iPB-10 Programmable Pedalboard

The Simplicity of a Pedalboard with the Flexibility of a Multi-Effects

The DigiTech iPB-10 Programmable Pedalboard sets a new standard for guitar signal processing. By harnessing the power of the iPad™, it combines the simplicity of a pedalboard with the flexibility of a multi-effects. The iPB-10 unleashes the ability to create and control guitar effects like never before.

The iPB-10 allows you to create your ultimate pedalboard, all on your iPad. Design a pedalboard by simply dragging and dropping up to 10 different pedals, in any order, to each pedalboard. You can even add an amp and cabinet to each setup. With 87 different pedals, 54 amps, and 26 cabinets to choose from, your options are virtually unlimited. Simply swipe your finger across the iPad to rearrange your pedals, turn them on and off, or to adjust their knobs.

Traditional multi-effects have given you the flexibility to change the entire configuration of your signal chain with a single footswitch. The iPB-10 brings the concept of presets to a pedalboard. This allows you to save 100 of your favorite pedalboards with the touch or your finger, and instantly recall them with the stomp of your foot. You can have a different pedalboard for each gig, set, song, or even switch pedalboards within a song.

Once you experience the flexibility of the iPB-10 Programmable Pedalboard with its drag and drop design, you will change the way you think about guitar effects forever.

FAQs

Will the iPB-10 work without an iPad plugged in to it?
Yes. The iPB-10 will function without an iPad. There is a 2 digit LED display on the unit that indicate the current preset bank. There is also a master volume knob on the back panel of the unit. At this time users will not be able to edit, adjust, or save presets without an iPad.

How much will the application cost?
The application is FREE! Anyone will be able to download and install the app. The iPB-Nexus App for iPad will be available for download from the Apple App Store shortly before the iPB-10 is shipped.

Can I connect an extension cable to the iPad?
Yes. You can connect the iPad to the iPB-10 via an extension cable and mount the iPad, for example, on a mic stand.

Does the iPB Nexus App function without the iPB-10 connected?
Yes. You can create and store pedalboard patches using the iPB Nexus App on an iPad without the iPB-10 connected. You won't be able to hear the sound of the patches since the processing and audio output of course comes from the iPB-10 itself but you can create the patches and download them into the iPB-10 once connected. The iPB Nexus App is a free download from the App Store.

Can I use the iPad in the iPB-10 to playback backing tracks?
Oh yes! The iPB-10 acts as an audio interface for the iPad. So you can playback backing tracks from iTunes or Spotify etc. In fact, any audio from the iPad. And since it's a 2-way audio interface you can record the iPB-10 directly into GarageBand.

Why do you call it a pedalboard and not a multi-effects?
Because multi-effects are traditionally limited by a pre-configured effects chains. With the iPB-10 you can freely place any of the effects in any order. Once you experience the interface of the iPB Nexus App you'll see that creating patches on the iPB is exactly like building virtual pedalboards. And it is so easy!
