Feed your GAS habit for free with RePedal, an ‘AI guitar pedal maker’ that creates a new distortion stompbox plugin every time you click it

As any sufferer will tell you, Gear Acquisition Syndrome can be an expensive habit, but what if there was a way to feed your addiction without spending any money? If your vice happens to be guitar distortion stompboxes, Sampleson’s new rePedal plugin – a free AI guitar pedal maker – could be the itch-scratching cash-saver you’ve been waiting for.

The concept is simple: Every time you click the Remake icon, the plugin automatically creates a random new distortion pedal for you to try. It does this by randomising the structure of the neural network that’s working away behind the scenes, creating a different model each time.
