Spotted it here and on their socials, but not on their site yet.  Compact 3-button switch.  Bluetooth, 1/8" TRS MIDI, and USB.  Aux inputs for a two-button foot switch and expression.  The iOS app is already up, and is a lot like the EV-1-WL's—you can set each switch's function, but that's it, with no dynamic changes in function.

Seems like the extension of the concept of the EV-1-WL.  I have a hard time imagining a use case that would add one to the other rather than just expanding either with less brainy switches or expression pedals.  But I am still on my first cup of coffee.

Boss has a lot of ready-to-go functionality for their own devices.  But I do appreciate that there's a lot more potential beyond their own sandbox.
