Elementi is a classic guitar pedalboard for iPhone and iPad, with a real amp at the end of the chain. Play it on its own, no DAW needed, or load any pedal as an AUv3 effect in GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM and other hosts. WE BELIEVE OURS SIMPLY SOUND BETTER Any effect gets you from A to B; what separates them is the ride. Every pedal on this board is voiced by ear, not cloned from a preset, and we only release what we'd want to play ourselves. NO DAW NEEDED Plug in your audio interface, drop pedals on the board and play. Put on a backing track in Apple Music or YouTube Premium and play along; the board keeps running behind it. The board: • Spinta - Overdrive (free) • Bruto - Fuzz • Vortice - Phaser • Marea - Flanger • Velo - Chorus • Palpito - Tremolo • Eco - Delay • Aura - Reverb • Impronta - Amp captures A REAL AMP: IMPRONTA Impronta plays Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) and AIDA-X captures with cabinet IRs, wired like a real amp: the drives push its input and every other pedal runs in its effects loop. It is the full Impronta: two rigs, or a second guitarist who plays your part with you, a little behind and a little loose. Search TONE3000 inside the app, or import your own captures. A TUNER IN THE INPUT JACK Tap the IN jack and tune, then play. Three knobs each, a big readable face, and low-latency processing that answers your picking dynamics. A written manual for the whole board, free at caesura-effects.com/support. START FREE Spinta, our overdrive, is included at no cost. Add the pedals you want one at a time, or unlock the whole board in a single purchase. One-time purchases, no subscription. Buy a pedal once and it unlocks in the app and in your AUv3 hosts. Restore Purchases is built in. No account needed: purchases live with your Apple ID. No tracking. Want to go further? Our Caesura Guitar Effects Pedals app adds the full Caesura line and a live stage with MIDI footswitches. Elementi is made by Caesura Effects, an audio effects company.
