(Gear Acquisition Syndrome) for my guitar playing hobby.  The arsenal of pedals I have at my disposal dwarfs the capabilities & quality of the iPB-10.  But a multieffects pedal does its job competently and with a minimum amount of fussing over connections & power sources.  Fewer points of failure = more reliability.Still, the failure of the iPad or the pedal itself is inevitable.  The bright side is that other companies have created new, similar devices that are self-contained, better sounding, more compact and more powerful.  Once I get one of those, I’ll be good again.…for a decade or so.* we have another one in the kitchen, so I sorta have backup.</blockquote>
