A pedal that feels fully analog — real knobs, real switches, real click — but runs its effects on DSP you program from your laptop or phone. Swap a printed plate and the whole pedal becomes something else.
Under every enclosure is one small DSP core — a Raspberry Pi running low-latency effects. The knobs, switches and footswitches are real, wired to the core through an ADC. What each control does is defined by the plate on the face. Change the plate, change the pedal.
Genuine pots, 3-way toggles and true-feel footswitches. No menus to dive, no encoders pretending to be knobs. It plays like a pedal because it is one.
Reverb, delay, pitch, fuzz, modulation — all run on the same DSP. Build or download an algorithm, assign it to the controls, flash it to a plate.
Each plate carries its art, its control map and an NFC preset. Drop it on, power up, and the pedal reconfigures to that sound in under a second.
Every plate is three things at once. Buy more plates to expand your rig — or design your own.
Screen-printed graphic identity. Every effect looks and feels like its own boutique pedal.
Labels printed around each knob and switch tell you — and the core — what every control now means.
An embedded NTAG chip holds the algorithm ID and its settings. On power-up the pedal reads it and resets to that patch.

Every plate fits either body. Start with one, chain four, five, six — the rig grows with your plate collection.
Your signal is digitised once, processed on the DSP core, and returned to analog — while the knobs you turn simply tell the core how to behave.
The companion app finds every connected pedal, lets you patch effects visually from a library or the block editor, then assigns knobs and writes the result to a plate.
A realistic maker BOM for a single Model 3 unit (audio core + control surface + one plate). Prices are indicative single-unit estimates and drop sharply at volume.

Additional plates add ~£6–9 each (aluminium blank, screen-print, NTAG215 chip). The Model 6 adds three more pots, three more toggles, a larger 1590BB enclosure and a triple footswitch (≈ +£28).
Reserve a Model 3 or Model 6 and get the first three plates of your choice. Ships with the studio app and an open patch format.
