Our take on the IK Multimedia iRig Blueboard

The iRig Blueboard is a wireless Bluetooth MIDI foot controller with four backlit footswitches and two expression pedal inputs. It pairs with iPhone, iPad, Mac and some Android devices to page through presets, trigger loops or control apps like AmpliTube and Ableton Live without a cable. It is small and light enough to toss in a gig bag, but it runs on AAA batteries and has no DIN MIDI output, so it is best for app-based rigs rather than hardware synths. Reviewers like the freedom from cables and the sturdy metal-ish build, but some report flaky pairing and limited switch customization.

Questions and answers

Does the iRig Blueboard work with Android?
It is built around iOS and Mac, and Android support is limited and depends on the app and device. Check the app you plan to use before buying.
Can I use it with hardware synths?
Not directly. It sends MIDI over Bluetooth, so you need a host device or a Bluetooth MIDI adapter; there is no 5-pin DIN output.
What kind of batteries does it take?
It runs on AAA batteries. There is no built-in rechargeable battery, so carry spares for long gigs.
Can I plug in expression pedals?
Yes. It has two inputs for expression pedals, which you can assign to volume, wah or other parameters in supported apps.
Is it worth it over a wired foot controller?
If you want to move around freely while controlling an app, the wireless design is the main draw. A wired controller is more dependable and needs no batteries.

You get the Blueboard itself and basic documentation. Batteries and expression pedals are not included.
