Announcing PiPedal 2.0 (2.0.102 Alpha). See the documentation for information, and instructions on how to install Pipedal 2.0. New features include support for Neural Amp Modeler A2 models, integration with Tone3000.com services for easy downloading of Neural Amp Modeler A2 models and IIRs, a new Channel Routing dialog for global routing of auxiliary input channels, and unprocessed re-amp output channels, and many other minor features, improvements, and bug fixes. Pipedal 2.0 also adds support for running PiPedal as a Progressive Web Application (PWA), which allows you to launch Pipedal from your desktop as a native desktop application. (A nice feature if you are accessing Pipedal from an Apple device). See the documentation for instructions on how to install Pipedal on your desktop as a standalone app.

 

Use your Raspberry Pi as a guitar effects pedal. Configure and control PiPedal using a remote web browsers, from your phone or tablet. PiPedal running on a Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 5 provides stable super-low-latency audio via external USB audio devices, or internal Raspberry Pi audio hats. 

PiPedal will also run on Ubuntu 24.04, 24.10, or 25.04 (amd64/x64 or aarch64). Make sure you follow the Ubuntu post-install instructions to ensure that your Ubuntu OS is using a realtime-capable kernel.

PiPedal's user interface has been specifically designed to work well on small form-factor touch devices like phones or tablets. Clip a phone or tablet on your microphone stand on stage, and you're ready to play! Or connect via a desktop browser, for a slightly more luxurious experience. The PiPedal user-interface adapts to the screen size and orientation of your device, providing easy control of your guitar effects across a broad variety devices and screen sizes.

Install the PiPedal Remote Android app to get one-click access to PiPedal via Wi-Fi or via the PiPedal Wi-Fi hotspot. Or connect from PC or Laptop via a web browser. PiPedal provides a simple configuration tool that allows you to set up the PiPedal's Wi-Fi auto-hotspot access point on your Raspberry Pi.

PiPedal includes a pre-installed selection of LV2 plugins from the ToobAmp collection of plugins; but it works with most LV2 Audio plugins. There are literally hundreds of free high-quality LV2 audio plugins that will work with PiPedal. Just install them on your Raspberry Pi, and they will show up in PiPedal.

If your USB audio adapter has MIDI connectors, you can use MIDI devices (keyboards, controllers, or midi floor boards) to control PiPedal while performing. A simple interface allows you to select how you would like to bind PiPedal controls to midi messages.
