Most guitar gear asks you to learn it. Union Rig is designed to disappear. You should be thinking about the song, not the signal chain.
The topology is fixed because decisions make better instruments than options do. Six knobs because that is enough to shape any sound in real time. Twelve sounds because that is a working set for a working musician -- not a catalog for someone who collects presets.
We chose e-ink for the display because screens should not compete with your ears. The display updates when you need orientation. The rest of the time, it is quiet.
The looper records post-dynamics, pre-space. That means your loop lives inside the instrument. Change the space, change the scene -- the loop responds. It is not a separate device bolted on. It is part of the instrument.
The preference memory learns how you adjust sound -- not who you are. It nudges future changes toward your tendencies, but only when you explicitly save. No background tracking. No cloud. Reset it whenever you want.
Union Rig is built for people who play shows. Plug in, step on it, trust it. That is the whole idea.
We will let you know when Union Rig is ready.
