Can you do it? Can I hook my pedalboard up to the little iRig input?
I've googled the crap out of this and only get results for something called a blueboard.
Thanks

I don't see why not, no harm in giving it a go :)

I have an iRig so I can practice using headphones and my iPad. I will give this a shot later this evening if I have a chance as I never really thought to try this.

What I suspect will happen is that with modulation effects it will react well but drive/fuzz/distortion effects may provide to much output and just cause the system to produce a muddy/fuzzy result. We shall see.

Thanks guys. I am borrowing an iRig right now and I don't want to damage it if I overload the signal.
If it was mine, I would plug in and see.

The verdict is that the more gain and volume you send through, the worse it sounds (basically what I suspected earlier). Though I pushed it pretty hard with no damage done so you can feel free to experiment with no fear doing any actual damage.
