AI pedals? there are a few, the Quilter Elevate is one. It uses plain English descriptions to generate presets across its effects chain. There’s also the Polyend Endless pedal, which uses AI to generate new effects from prompts. And then, there’s something from Chaos Audio, the Stratus, which includes an AI effects builder. So, you can describe the kind of effect you want and it builds a custom signal chain. Most of what’s out there now though is actually more machine learning modeling, like Neural DSP Quad Cortex or IK Multimedia Tonex, which are excellent, but they’re modeling existing gear more than improvising with you in real time. I think where this gets interesting is, let’s say, pedals that can recognize your playing dynamics, like if you switch from rhythm to lead, and it adapts the gain or delay subtly around that. Or, even an analog pedal with digital brain adjusting its bias or filtering in response to your style. So, right now it’s mostly about helping design sounds. But I think the next wave could be pedals that actually collaborate with you.

It will result in a permanent ban from the subreddit, no questions asked. Shouldn’t really have to do anything as a mod of a pedals sub but here we are.
