Union Rig's AI-driven effects engine doesn't care about your feelings. The warm, compressed, fully analogue signal chain does.

How it works
One cable in, stereo out. Your signal enters Union Rig and stays analog the entire way through. No conversion. No latency. The full weight of your pickups, your fingers, your attack — preserved exactly as your instrument delivers it.
Trained on the collective understanding of all guitar music ever recorded, the AI inside Union Rig knows what makes a great clean shimmer, what makes a lead cut through a mix, and what makes a rhythm part sit perfectly in a band. It builds 12 sounds — your working set — shaped to your playing style and the way you use your instrument.
Here is where Union Rig breaks from everything else: the AI shapes the parameters — drive character, spatial depth, tonal weight — but your guitar signal never touches a digital converter. It passes through analog circuitry the entire time. Hi-fidelity. No artifacts. The warmth and power of your pickups, untouched.
AI that understands tone at the deepest level. Analog signal path that refuses to compromise your sound. Union Rig is the marriage of those two ideas — the precision of machine learning with the soul of real circuitry. Not AI for the sake of AI. AI in service of making you sound like yourself, but better.
Every sound you have ever loved was made by someone who trusted their gear.
Trust what works.
Fixed Signal Chain
One topology. No menus. Six stages, always in the same order — because decisions make better instruments than options do.

Six knobs. Four footswitches. Nothing else.
Tone / Feel
Touch
Heat
Body
Touch controls how much your pick attack matters. Heat dials in saturation from clean push to full breakup. Body shapes the tonal weight — thin and cutting to thick and warm.
Space / Time
Depth
Motion
Tempo
Depth sets how much space surrounds the signal — from dry to cathedral. Motion adds movement and modulation. Tempo locks time-based effects to your feel.

12 sounds. 2 scenes each. No banks.
Your working set is always loaded. Step through sounds with your feet. Switch scenes within a song. Hold the scene switch to morph between A and B, release to come back. Twenty-four playable states, zero menu diving.
The AI learns how you adjust sound over time — not who you are. A local preference memory nudges future changes toward your tendencies. No cloud. No tracking. Reset it whenever you want.
4.2" e-ink display
Shows where you are. Not what to do. No meters. No animations. Orientation, not permission.
Performance Looper
Single loop, sound-on-sound overdub. Recorded post-dynamics, pre-space — so when you change the space or switch scenes, the loop responds. It is not a separate device bolted on. It is part of the instrument. Change sounds, change scenes — the loop persists. Clear it when you are done.
