Three steps from your favorite song to your rig

  1. We chase the tone

    Producer interviews, gear lists, period photos, session logs. AI reads the historical record and reconstructs what was actually plugged into what — sources cited.

  2. We map the chain

    Every block. Every knob. Every tap-tempo. Documented like a service manual.

  3. You get the numbers

    Translated for your Helix, Quad Cortex, TONEX, Fractal, Kemper, Katana — or your pedalboard. One click, import, play.
