ToneTrace
Your whole rig, diagnosed.
ToneTrace audits the entire signal path your gear actually has — splitters, amps, FX loops, passive Y-cables, MIDI, sidechain. Not just a single line of pedals.

Chain Builder. Health score. Signal Map. Troubleshoot Wizard. Artist rigs.
The features in motion.
Built for guitarists who care about why a tone sounds wrong, not just how to record around it. Every feature traces back to a working pedalboard mindset.
0–100 score with sub-scores across buffer, impedance, ordering, and noise. Tap any sub-score for what's contributing and why — per leg of your rig. The full diagnostic engine and every rule category are free for everyone.
Visual flow diagram of your entire rig with impedance values, bypass type, and signal routing at every node. Splitters, FX loops, MIDI, and sidechain are first-class.
Tell it what sounds wrong. The wizard walks the rig graph for you and surfaces root causes with concrete fix steps — not generic advice.
Pick a genre, intensity, and topology, and the Grinder generates working rig candidates from your own pedal collection. A blank-page killer for when you've got a pile of pedals and no rig.
Group rigs by show, reorder them in playing sequence, and load any song's rig with a single tap. Export the whole set as a PNG or JSON to share with the band.
Guided, hands-on tours through every feature of the app. Build the rig, run the diagnostic, walk the troubleshoot tree — the app drives, you watch and learn.
Export any rig or set list as a PNG render or a portable .tonetrace data file. Send a chain to a bandmate; they import and the whole rig — pedals, photos, notes — loads exactly as you built it.
1,600+ verified pedals across 200+ brands, sourced from manufacturer docs and reputable gear publications. The full library is free for everyone, custom gear too. Free tier caps the chain at 5 pedals; PRO removes the cap.
Reference rigs from Gilmour, The Edge, Frusciante, SRV, J Mascis, Hendrix, Page, and more. See why the chain works, not just what's in it. Free for everyone.
Designed for one-handed pedalboard work in dim rehearsal rooms.
iPad and Android tablets get a true split-pane layout — Chain Builder permanently on the left, Health / Set Lists / Info / Signal Map / Rig Analyzer on the right. Build the chain and watch the diagnostics update in the same glance, no tab switching, no losing your place.
Rig Analyzer + Chain Health on one canvas. Tap any pane title to promote it fullscreen.
Free gives you the full pedal library (all 1,600+ pedals, 200+ brands), unlimited custom gear, the artist rig library, the full diagnostic engine, and 5 pedals per chain. PRO unlocks Signal Map, Troubleshoot Wizard, Gear Grinder, Set Lists, Walkthroughs, rig & set export, and unlimited pedals per chain.
