Elevate - The Intuitive Guitar Engine

The Anti-Modeler · AI-Powered

Your entire rig. One pedal. No menus.

Effects masterfully crafted by Brian Neunaber. Built by Quilter Labs

Most multi-effects pedals give you endless amp models, a tiny screen, and hours of menu diving before you hear anything worth playing. Elevate takes the opposite approach. Describe the tone you want — a song, a guitarist, a vibe — and Elevate AI builds the preset for you. No scrolling through menus. No watching YouTube tutorials to find your sound. Just tell it what you're after and play.

Fourteen purpose-built effects blocks — from compression and gain to reverb and cab simulation — arranged in a fixed, logical signal chain that works the way your pedalboard does. No routing menus. No amp models to scroll through. Just dial in your sound and play.

Under the hood: Elevate's effects algorithms were designed by Brian Neunaber, whose reverbs and modulations are universally celebrated in studios and on stages worldwide by artists including Mayer and Satriani. This is the same engineering team behind the Wet Reverb, the Immerse Reverberator and the Illumine — now applied to a complete all-in-one platform.

Elevate is the only multi-effects pedal that comes with a free AI tone engine. Connect over USB, open Elevate AI in your browser — no app to download — and let it do the work. Cloud backup keeps every preset safe, and a global community lets you browse, rate, and share tones with players worldwide. This isn't a preset library. It's a preset factory.

Designed to Be Simple.
On Purpose.

Other multi-effects units give you a color touchscreen, 47 amp models, a three-week learning curve, and a head full of confusion. Elevate gives you one knob, capacitive touch buttons, and a signal chain you can understand in mere minutes. That's not a limitation — it's the entire point.

Signal Chain
Noise Gate Wah EQ Comp Gain Mod Delay Reverb Cab Sim
Same order you'd put pedals on a board. No routing decisions. No block-limit math.

No software required to make basic edits on the fly. When you want to go deep, Elevate AI gives you full control over every parameter in real time — from any device, with no app to download or update.

Capacitive sense buttons eliminate mechanical switches that wear out on the road. Sensitivity is adjustable in settings.
Single encoder knob provides tactile, click-detent control that's deliberate and precise — not accidental swipes on a touchscreen.

Don't take our word for it

I'm a bassist - so take this for what it's worth. The Elevate is also pretty new to me (owned it two weeks?), so I have a good *basic* understanding, but there's much more to learn. The most important thing to understand is that this is NOT a modeler! Don't expect to dial up clones of your favorite pedals and amps, because that's not how it works. Instead, you get to build the sounds and effects as you go. There are several pre-built modes for each of the blocks, which definitely speeds up the process, but the real magic is in the custom mode.

Generating sounds works quite differently here compared to "conventional" modelers. I like it! There aren't those typical pre-chewed sounds like Marshall, Fender or Vox, instead creativity is the order of the day. You have to (and probably should) set up your OWN sound. You can do this by using one of the numerous factory presets and then tweaking it until you get it right. In my opinion it works brilliantly and you learn a lot in the process.

This is the best modeler you can get for the price. It will eat for breakfast anything below 1000 euros. Maybe even above as well, but I lack enough experience with Fractal and QC. All the Neunaber algorithms in one box, pretty and easy to use and excelent sounding. What else do you need?

I bought it one month ago and I find it fantastic, tones are excellent and it takes me only a few minutes to build incredible tones.

Damn. I wasn't expecting it to be that good. Send me one.

DO NOT listen to the boomers on the gear page. You won't believe what this little box can do.

The wep app is the simplest thing I have ever used. Thanks for figuring out what every other "modeler" company seems to not understand.

It is like getting more than five hundred bucks worth of Neunaber pedals but all in one pedal with even more. Just do it.
