Artisans Pedalboard — Real-Time Guitar Effects on iPhone

Build Your Guitar Pedalboard on iPhone

Artisans Pedalboard is a real-time guitar effects app that lets you build and use full pedal chains directly on your device. Instead of focusing on a single effect at a time, the app is built around the idea of complete signal paths.

You can stack pedals, change their order, adjust parameters, and save the entire setup as a preset. Switching between sounds is instant, without reconnecting cables or reconfiguring hardware.

Work With Full Signal Chains

The app treats the pedalboard as one system. Every pedal affects the next, just like in a real setup. You can experiment with different chain orders, compare sounds, and refine your tone without rebuilding anything physically.

This makes it useful for practice, writing, or just testing ideas quickly.

Included Effects

The first version includes a set of essential guitar effects that cover most common use cases:

  • Overdrive
  • Fuzz
  • Compressor
  • Delay
  • Reverb
  • Tremolo
  • Chorus
  • Rotary Speaker
  • Pitch Shifter
  • 5-Band EQ

Each effect runs in real time and can be adjusted while playing.

Input and Output

The app is designed to work with external audio interfaces. A proper guitar signal requires an interface with instrument input or a buffered wireless system.

Standard passive dongles are not suitable, as they do not provide the correct input stage for guitar pickups.

Once connected, the app automatically routes the signal through the pedal chain and out to headphones or speakers.

Presets and Workflow

You can save complete pedalboard setups as presets and recall them at any time. This makes it easy to switch between different sounds without adjusting individual pedals again.

The focus is on fast iteration and practical use rather than complex setup.

Built for Real Use

The app is intended for players who want a portable pedalboard that behaves like real gear. It is not a simulation of one specific pedal, but a system for building and controlling full signal chains.

Plug in, build your chain, and play.
