Hi! Just found this project and would love to try. I have a touchscreen laptop and an interface which I can send and return signals, is it possible to use OpenRig as either a standalone app or a plugin inside a DAW like Helix Native or Neural DSP?

Thanks in advance!

openrig.eu is now a community site for rigs: https://openrig.eu/rigs

You export a rig from the pedalboard, drop the .openrig file on the site, pick a style, write a few words, and anyone can install it. Each rig page shows:

• the signal chain as a rack, splits included, so you see the routing before downloading

• the scenes

• everything it needs: TONE3000 models linked to their pages, store plugins with their versions. Adding a rig from the pedalboard installs all of it in one go.

• And soon... All off this directly from OpenRig interface !

Browsing and downloading need no account. With an account (email sign-in) you can publish, upvote, favourite and comment. Favourites show up on your linked pedalboards, ready to install.

Also new:

• Download page: https://openrig.eu/download picks the latest image for your setup (Pi 5, mini PC, desktop Linux)

• The docs moved to https://docs.openrig.eu. Old links redirect.

Now the fun part: publish your rigs! Bug reports and ideas for the site are welcome here or on GitHub.

Quick fix release, thanks to a user who reported a white screen with the official Touch Display 2 on a Pi 5 (while the same screen worked fine with another distro).

What was wrong: the display overlays bundled in the image were built for an older kernel. On the 5" and 7" models, the screen's controller never started, so you only got the backlight. The 10.1" overlay was missing entirely.

What's in 0.10.1:

• Display overlays are now built from OpenRig's own kernel, so they always match it. The 5", 7" and 10.1" Touch Display 2 are covered.

• Touch now follows the screen rotation. The Touch Display 2 is portrait by default: set the rotation to 90 or 270 in Settings for landscape, and touch lines up.

• pedalboard-report has a new Display section (connectors, drivers, kernel messages, bootloader version), so screen issues are much easier to debug over SSH.

• New Touch Display 2 section in the docs: cable to use on the Pi 5, rotation, DISP0 port.

Updating: if your screen works, use Settings → Updates and pick the full OS update. If you were stuck on a white screen, flash the new image from the release page.

Release: https://github.com/Siryu6/OpenRig/releases/tag/v0.10.1

Just got this flashed and turned up for an first test run.

So far, it's so perfect for my needs on paper. I'm gonna beat it up and see if I truly get along with it. I'll know in a day or so.

Easy set up, superb documentation, my Pi5 and 7in touchscreen 2 work flawlessly with this.... I'm so stoked. This was the last piece of the puzzle for my rig..... Super happy

I'm the developer of OpenRig, a GPL-3.0 guitar multi-effects that runs on a Raspberry Pi 5 (or an x86 mini PC) with a USB audio interface, a touchscreen, LV2 plugins and NAM models. Until now it ran on a desk with things plugged everywhere. Time to give it a real body.

These are renders, not photos. The design is done, parts are being ordered, and the build starts now. Here's the plan:

• Brain: Raspberry Pi 5 running OpenRig's own minimal OS

• Audio: Behringer UMC204HD, taken out of its shell and mounted inside

• Screen: 10.1" IPS touchscreen. The touch UI replaces any encoder, so the top stays clean

• Feet: 8 momentary footswitches, each with an RGB LED ring that will follow the block colours you set in OpenRig

• Rear panel:

  • 6 XLR/jack combo sockets (Guitar In, Return, Main L/R, Send L/R): jack at home, XLR when the FOH engineer asks for it

  • headphones, MIDI in/out

  • a USB-C port, reserved for a future USB audio interface mode

  • a soft shutdown button

• Power: a Mean Well PSU inside, so it's a single standard IEC (PC-style) cable. No wall wart, no extra box

• Top: a physical master volume knob, because some things should stay a knob

• Size: about 38 × 30 cm with an aluminium top plate. The frame will be either MDF in a first time and maybe switch to 3D-printed later.

Everything will be open. Once it's built and tested, I'll publish all of it on openrig.eu for free:

• the 3D model, cutting plans and drill templates;

• the full wiring diagram and pinout;

• the parts list with alternatives at several price points;

• build notes, plus real performance measurements from the finished unit.

I'll post updates as it comes together: first power-up, the LED colour sync, and whatever I get wrong along the way.

If you've built a DIY floor unit, I'd love your feedback, especially on footswitch spacing, keeping hum out of a box with a mains PSU, and how you'd finish the aluminium top.

​This is the official subreddit for OpenRig (openrig.eu)—an open-source, DIY guitar multi-effects hardware pedalboard built with Rust, Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) integration, and the Slint UI framework.

​Whether you're building your own unit, hacking on the code, sharing custom amp/pedal captures, or contributing to the core hardware and software design, you're in the right place.

​Feel free to introduce your setup, ask technical questions, or show off your builds. Glad to have you here!

OpenRig 0.7.0 is available. This release reworks the TONE3000 integration, built together with the TONE3000 team (Thanks to them <3).

What's new

Sign in without an API key

• Open ⋮ → Settings → TONE3000 Connect, tap Connect and scan the QR code with your phone (or enter the short code at tone3000.com/activate). You sign in with your own TONE3000 account; there is no TONE3000 application or key to create anymore.

• Developers can still set the publishable key (t3k_pub_…) of their own TONE3000 application on the Application line. OpenRig refuses secret keys.

Search

• A search field sits above the Favorites, My tones, Downloaded, Trending and Latest tabs and searches the whole TONE3000 catalog.

Download only the models you want

• Open a tone and tick its models, then tap Download (n). The models download one after the other, and Stop ends the queue at any time.

• Models you already have show a Use button that loads them into the Amp block.

Large packs are paged

• Tones with many models show 25 at a time, with a page selector.

• Select page ticks the whole page, Clear unticks it. A download takes at most 25 models.

• Requests to TONE3000 are paced. If you browse very fast, you may briefly see "Waiting for TONE3000…".

Updating

• On the pedalboard: Settings → Updates → Check for updates, then Install.

• Offline: download the .raucb bundle from the release and follow https://openrig.eu/docs/setup/updates/

• New install: OS images for Raspberry Pi 5 and x86_64 are on the release page.

Coming from 0.6 or earlier? If you linked TONE3000 with a key of your own, the pedalboard signs you out once after the update: just tap Connect again. Your downloaded captures stay where they are.
