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.

Looks cool! I tried this on Chrome and Firefox on my MacBook but couldn't get past the 'Connect your audio interface' screen. Firefox hung after clicking the start button and Chrome gave me a permission denied error.

Is the latency truly comparable to desktop plugins like ToneX or the Neural DSP plugins? I think many guitarists are very latency sensitive.

Thanks! I did experience a few issues with Firefox during testing so fair to say it's not all de-kinked yet, but I'll get to it for sure. Thanks for letting me know. The Chrome permission denied error is odd, Chrome is the one browser that I didn't have any issues with, so I'll look into that one, did it throw any errors in the Chrome console that you could paste back to me? Appreciate it very much either way. As for the latency, Yes! Best I've managed with my Macbook was actually sub 10ms end-to-end (surprised me too!) but it's definitely possible with a good interface. I'll look into those bugs now. Cheers!

looks cool, would be great to try effects with some simple guitar riff as a sample to try before plugging a guitar into a mic
