The idea and the execution is seriously innovative and impressive. (After troubleshooting a local issue with a failing USB microphone I can verify that the live mode works great. This is the real deal.) Don't miss the photos of the physical setup from the gallery features to the right of the pedal detail pages; excerpt: https://im.static-thomann.de/pics/images/stompenberg/backsta... https://im.static-thomann.de/pics/…
Hats off to those who came up with this and convinced their superiors that it's worth trying. Most pedal demos don't give a very good idea how something will sound with your setup, because well, they're using their own, filtered through speakers and microphones at that.
You can turn off the speaker simulation + route your own setup in the "live" mode. I gave it a quick try and seems to work quite well, although the latency is quite annoying. But it's a demo, not performance tool after all.
I have so many questions as to how they're handling controlling knob changes! From the pictures it looks like they've yanked the pots out and hooked the boards up to their rig, which raises more questions. This is something I've tried myself, and it's not trivial. Digipots won't work in the signal path and are noisy and imprecise, so companies that do this (there are very few!) like Chase Bliss use vactrols. Using th…

They are self hosted in southern Germany and you connect via WebRTC, so if you are far away from there it will have additional latency, sorry no way around it.

Most of them are controlled with Digipots, but yeah indeed it was not easy to get it working for all the different setups.

It's a inhouse design with a PCM3060 as audio codec.
What's the story behind how a reseller got into designing custom raspberry pi add-on boards to demo third party pedals online?

After doing my research: Thomann is a very large reseller (1700 employees according to wikipedia) in musical equipment. What's the story behind how a reseller got into designing custom raspberry pi add-on boards to demo third party pedals online?
