I want to say this looks like a great product. I was very surprised at how "complete" it seems. I manage one of the most iconic guitar stores in the world and have been selling gear and generally been a gear head for 15+ years. Needless to say I was extremely skeptical when I read the title of this article.

If you can market this and produce it at scale I guarantee you'll sell millions of these things to the middle of the road guitar center learning to play guy. That demographic is fucking huge and probably represents 80% of the guitar based economy.

I would market it that way. I would market this as an easy fuss free interface for conjuring classic tones to learn and play with your favorite artists. If possible a Rocksmith style learn along feature would be amazing.

Really impressed with the simple interface, the apparent ease with which you dial up reasonably good jcm 800 and acoustic type sounds, and how the Alexa script seems to automatically dial in a tone to match the backing track.

Really well done. If you get it to market hit me up I guarantee I can sell these things.

Nice to meet you. I sent you an email. Let me know how I can help.


This just makes me happy. I always love seeing people help others. :-)
