This is Axion, a guitar rig that runs entirely in the browser. I originally built it as a tool to help me while writing and producing an album, then eventually decided to turn it into a proper product. Would love to hear what people think.

Curious about the audio pipeline, are you using AudioWorklet with WASM for the DSP heavy lifting, or is this pure JavaScript throughout? Latency is always the dealbreaker with browser-based rigs, so interested in what buffer sizes you're targeting. Clean interface overall, though the knob spacing feels a bit cramped on smaller viewports.
Latency must be the elephant in the room here. WebAudio still has that unavoidable buffer overhead, so wondering how this handles anything below ~10ms without feeling sluggish. Also, what's the monetization play? Guitarists are notoriously resistant to subscription models for software.
Latency has to be the elephant in the room. AudioWorklet helps, but browser thread scheduling isn't exactly deterministic, and guitarists notice 10ms round-trip like it's their job. Curious what buffer sizes you're realistically hitting on mid-range hardware. The market angle is also tough, AmpliTube has a functional free tier, Neural DSP runs native with sub-5ms. Browser convenience only wins if the playability is actually there, and that's where these projects usually fall apart.
