Air-G Audio Air-G PedalboardAir-G Pedalboard is the unified virtual pedalboard of Air-G Audio's Guitar Collection: all ten pedals of the series, together in a single plugin. Every pedal in the collection is built on the open-source work of Airwindows, Chris Johnson's long-running project known for some of the most distinctive free DSP code in the audio world. Bringing them together on one board was the long-term goal from the very first pedal, and this is it. The board has six slots in series, just like a real pedalboard: the signal enters slot 1 and leaves through slot 6. Any slot can hold any of the ten pedals (EQ, Dist, Comp, Dual Drive, Chorus, Trem, Autopan, Vibra, Delay and Verb) or be left empty. Each pedal runs the exact same engine as its standalone version, with the same controls and the same sound. To reorder the chain, just grab a pedal by its body and drop it onto another slot: the two swap places, knobs and all. On the right sits the control strip: a main footswitch that turns the whole board on and off (linked to the host's own bypass) and a retro LCD screen with two modes. Presets: 32 locations in 8 banks (A1 to H4), stored on disk so they are available in every project and every DAW. Step through them with the arrow keys, save with SAVE, and double-click a name to rename it. A "*" tells you when something has changed since loading. Presets can also be switched from the DAW, through an automatable Preset parameter or MIDI Program Change. Nine factory presets are included to get you started, from CLEAN and CRUNCH to AMBIENT, SURF and STEREO WIDE. Tuner: press TUNE and the output mutes while you tune, like a hardware pedalboard tuner. It listens to the board's input, before any pedal, and offers GUITAR and BASS modes with alternate tunings (Drop D, Half Down, Full Down, Drop C, Open G, Open D, DADGAD, 5-string bass) plus a chromatic mode. It guides you to the note of the string you're playing, not just the nearest note. The board is stereo in, stereo out. Each pedal also remains available on its own, with its own manual. Air-G Pedalboard includes a full manual covering the board, the presets and the tuner. Air-G Audio is a collection of plugins built on the open source code of Airwindows. The project is built around adding a graphical interface that makes the experience more comfortable and visual, along with a few features that expand the possible uses without straying from the original sound. The simplicity and lightness of Chris's code are the starting point and the guide. Thanks to Chris Johnson for making his work public and accessible. Air-G Audio exists because Airwindows exists. The Airwindows code used in the pedals of this plugin is published under the MIT License. The pedalboard itself (slots, presets, screen and tuner) is Air-G Audio's own work. Air-G Pedalboard is free, no strings attached, same open spirit as Chris's own work. It also took real hours to build: designing, coding, testing, writing the manual. If it earns a spot on your setup, a donation of any size makes a real difference in keeping this collection going. And if you want to support where it all comes from, Chris Johnson's Patreon is the most direct way to back Airwindows itself: patreon.com/airwindows. Available for Windows and Linux. *There's no macOS version yet (sorry! I don't have access to a Mac at the moment), but I hope to make one someday! Read More
