Very true. I guess I’m extra skeptical about AI products right now because I’m seeing a lot of badly thought through garbage coming out of companies that are in such a rush to try to capitalize on AI they don’t bother to implement it well. The goal is to push it out the door as fast as possible so they can start using the buzz-words in their marketing and half the time the business people don’t even understand what they’re asking for they’ve just heard AI is the new train they need to get on and they’re afraid of being left behind.

The proof will be in actually using their agent and seeing how good a job they’ve done training it.


Wow, lots of pent up work frustration just spewed out in that response, haha

I hear you on the work frustration. I've got management pressuring me to incorporate AI into my workflow, whether remotely applicable or not, and that management doesn't even understand computers circa 1995 yet. (Nor will they ever, in all probability.)

This could be really fun, but I’m a bit skeptical about the implementation to customers:
What happens when you’ve paid x amount for token use and your pedal does not quiiite work or is not what you asked for?

As a developer this is what I’m used to, there’s always something that needs adjusting, testcases needs covering, edge cases accounting for….but as a consumer: if I expect to get a fully working pedal for my token purchase, I’d get quite cross if my wierd low-output-edge-case guitar suddenly sounded even more like crap or one of the controls on the pedal doesn’t work… could there not be quite some backlash from customers?

Technically speaking their planner agent REALLY needs to be robust to be able to deliver reliably, their hardware limitations and quirks should be VERY well documented. Until now I’ve only seen agents delivering “Working-Out-of-the-box-ISH” solutions, which is fine in software development, but sucks for the end-user.

If it is designed well, there should be quite a lot of follow up for a “Maek my guitar sound gud” requests, but with a very real risk of asking the customer/user for something they have no knowledge of and then giving them something that they did not want.

But anyway: exciting times to be into music gear!

So, can you only load one effect into the unit?

Yeah, that was kinda obvious - but it could've been possible to store more than one effect on the device.

Anyhow, I think this would be way more useful if there was a little display to describe what the knobs do. And, as said, multiple FX that you could switch between straight on the device.

Apart from that, I'm wondering about the latency of this thing.
