A portable and highly-configurable amp augmentation platform for putting a spin on LT-series guitar/bass amps made by a certain company whose name rhymes with “bender”.
…
The Twist empowers musicians to take control of their gear without owning expensive amp hardware. The platform runs an API and static control panel on a computer or Raspberry Pi (making it optimal for use in practice or gigs) and enables remote, wireless control of amplifier functionalities (without desktop app) while creating innovative features like footswitch playlists!
…
Tech: The Twist consists of a Python FastAPI server running on a raspberry pi 0. This device, when wired to the amp via USB, communicates to the amp’s firmware via protobuf HID messages (with my own LtAmp.py module). The control panel served by this API (accessible via Pi access point), provides a static Svelte/Vite frontend. All of the WIP code is open source with future add-ons such as battery/ speaker support being currently planned!
