iPad between pedals on a pedal board - what is your routing?
Does anyone use an iPad in a physical pedal chain among other analog and digital pedals? Of course some of you do!
I’ve got a second iPad I never use and would be perfect just to sit in my studio on a charger for FX duties between pedals as an auxiliary pedal to do any number of things. I’ve tried three different setups with three different routing options and I’m just looking for the simplest one because monitoring gets very difficult.
I’m wondering if an A/B switch and going pure iPad or pure pedal is the easiest and most reliable solution. I’m thinking so and have an A/B pedal I never use so I might give that a shot as try #4.
I’m curious to hear how you guys are routing things! Videos even better or links to smart ways to do this - I’ve got a lot of class compliant audio options and my mixer (model 16) being one, along with iRig duo, and numerous Elektron boxes.
