This is really cool. I may have missed it (am on my phone and just skimmed the readme) but what effects are available and can you build your own?

Seems like there are already a couple dozen pedals defined, and you can define your own using the Q framework...

Any samples or videos of this working? I would like to have a feeling of the latency and how the effects sound.

There's a two years old small video on reddit...

Very cool, I've ordered a Raspberry Pi touchscreen this weekend and it should arrive today. I want to make a MIDI sequencer with it, or at least play with the idea. I hope my old Raspberry Pi can work with MIDI (over USB) without too much latency..

That's a killer feature for me, hiding at the end of the README. I have a Fractal Audio FM3[0] at home, and the only way I edit my patches is using their editing software over a USB connection to the device. Adding the ability to program (and even control) my patches live over any wifi-enabled device is even cooler!

Always hear about the Fractal Axe FXIII--seems like the gold standard in guitar FX. Didn't realize they had smaller, non-rack-mount form factor devices. Very interested in trying out the FM3 now that you brought it to my attention. Thanks!!
