Guitarist Invents AI-Powered Effects Pedal

In today's technologically-enhanced world, just knowing how to play a guitar isn't quite enough (though it is cool). To really get the most out of an electric axe, you gotta know a thing or two about sound theory, and that includes the proper use of an effects pedal to get all those cool wah-wahs squeedly-dees. To properly use an effects pedal, it needs to be carefully programmed ahead of time, then manually activated with one's foot at the proper part of a song. If you're not much of a multitasker, perhaps you need a little assistant to handle the modulation while you focus on playing the actual guitar. Programmer and guitarist Keith Bloemer developed his latest pet project with that precise goal in mind: a Raspberry Pi-powered AI guitar effects pedal.
