Here's what EdgeSound does

If you want to play or record electric guitar on your computer, EdgeSound is the one app that does it all — no real amp, no pedals, no expensive gear.

🎸

Plug in

Connect your guitar to your PC through any audio interface. EdgeSound opens as its own app — you don't need a DAW or any other software.

🎚️

Pick a sound

Load one of 396 ready-made tones — clean, blues, rock, metal — or describe what you want and let the AI build it. Sound like the records you love in seconds.

🎧

Play or record

Practice quietly on headphones any time of day, jam through speakers, or hit record to capture studio-quality guitar. Low latency, so it feels like a real amp.

Think of it as a full amp-and-pedalboard rig that lives inside your computer — the same idea as BIAS FX, AmpliTube or Neural DSP, but simpler to use and a one-time $49 instead of a subscription.

Hear it

Clean, high-gain and lead — straight from EdgeSound

Real playing through the app — no external pedals, no post-processing.

New · AI-powered

Describe a tone — get a finished preset

Tell EdgeSound how you want to sound and what you're playing through. It builds a real, gig-ready signal chain for you in seconds.

Your words in, a real rig out

Type “singing Petrucci lead” or “tight modern djent”, pick your guitar and how you monitor, and the AI assembles the whole chain from real captured gear.

Picks real gear — NAM amps, IR cabs and pedals (Mesa JP-2C, TS9, V30 cab…)
Coherence-calibrated: no mud, fizz, warble or runaway reverb
Refine in plain language: “darker, less reverb, tighter lows”
Save any result as a new preset in one click
Bring your own AI key — OpenAI, Claude or any OpenAI-compatible

Create with AI panel: describe how you want to sound plus your gear, and EdgeSound builds a preset — Create with AI — your gear + a prompt, and a preset is built

All-in-one

An amp sim and pedalboard in one

From crystal cleans to parallel walls of metal. Build the exact rig you imagine, block by block. If you know BIAS FX 2, AmpliTube or Helix Native, you'll feel right at home.

Connect your guitar with ASIO4ALL (low latency)

EdgeSound needs a low-latency ASIO driver. If your audio interface doesn't ship its own, ASIO4ALL is a free, universal ASIO driver that works with almost any sound card or USB interface.

Download ASIO4ALL

Get the free installer from the official site: asio4all.org.
Install it

Run the downloaded installer and follow the prompts (Next → Next → Finish). No configuration is needed yet.
Open EdgeSound → Audio settings

In EdgeSound, open More (⋯) → Audio settings. Set Audio device type: ASIO and Device: ASIO4ALL v2.
Turn on your device in ASIO4ALL

Click Control Panel. In the ASIO4ALL window, click the power icon next to your interface or sound card (e.g. “Realtek(R) Audio” or your USB interface) so it lights up blue and becomes active.
Set sample rate & buffer

Back in Audio settings, choose 44100 Hz and a buffer of 512 samples (lower = less latency but more CPU; raise it if you hear crackling). Make sure your input and output channels are checked.
Play!

Plug your guitar into your interface, load a preset, and play — you should hear it through EdgeSound. If your speakers feed back, enable “Mute audio input”.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What do I need to play guitar through my computer?

Your guitar, an audio interface (any model — it's the box that connects the guitar to the PC), headphones or speakers, and EdgeSound. Nothing else: no amplifier, no pedals, no recording software.

Can I practice quietly with headphones?

Yes — that's what most people use it for. Plug your headphones into your interface and you get a full mic'd-up amp sound at any volume, at any hour, without disturbing anyone.

Can I record guitar without an amp?

Yes. EdgeSound gives you the studio sound of a mic'd amplifier straight into your recording, either as a standalone app or as a VST3 plugin inside your DAW.

Do I need a DAW or other software?

No. EdgeSound runs on its own as a standalone app — open it and play. If you already use a DAW, you can also load it there as a VST3 plugin.

Is it like BIAS FX, AmpliTube or Neural DSP?

Same category — a guitar amp simulator and pedalboard — but simpler to use, and a one-time $49 instead of a subscription or ~$100 per amp. It also plays your own amp captures (NAM) and cabinet impulse responses, which most of those don't.

What is NAM (neural amp modeling)?

It's a way of capturing a real amplifier so it sounds and reacts like the original. EdgeSound plays these captures out of the box, and there are thousands of free ones from the community you can load — no extra cost.

Will it run on my computer?

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). It's built to sound good on modest gear — typical latency is under 1 ms, so it feels like a real amp under your fingers.

How much does it cost?

A one-time $49 (launch price $39) — you own it, no subscription. Try it free for 14 days first, no credit card required.

What's included in the 14-day trial, and what happens when it ends?

Everything — fully functional for 14 days, no locked features and no watermark on the audio. When it ends, the app asks you to activate a license. The trial is tied to your machine, so reinstalling doesn't reset the countdown.

Can I use my own NAM and IR files?

Yes. You can load your own NAM captures (.nam) and cabinet impulse responses (.wav) from your library.
