THE QUESTION
Why should your
sound stay at home?
DAWs put a world of guitar effects within reach. Taking those exact sounds to a live show often means bringing a computer along, too.
The idea is a guitar pedal that runs Windows VST plug-ins itself: a physical home for a software signal chain, built around the way you play.
This is an early concept. Hardware, plug-in compatibility, latency, controls and release plans are still to be worked out. The model shows a possible direction, not a working prototype.
