Generally, yes, it should work fine with a pedalboard. Just ensure your power supply is clean and stable to avoid any unexpected noise or issues.
Most competitors in this price bracket will offer similar functionality, but the AirBorne's compact size and integrated battery are notable advantages for portability.
