Start with the guide
The user guide is the same one bundled in the app — written in ways a player can read, with the engineering kept honest underneath — and it answers most questions:
- Welcome — what PedalScope is and isn't
- Setting up your rig and your first measurement
- Safety: why amplifiers stay out of the loop
- Measuring plugins — drive and amp-sim Audio Units, treated exactly like pedals
- Simulation Mode — no hardware needed
- How the plain-language summaries are built (and labeled)
Common questions
- Which interfaces work? Any class-compliant USB audio interface with a line output and a line/instrument input. See rig setup.
- Can I measure my amp? No — PedalScope does not measure amplifiers, and never connect one's speaker output to an interface. Read this before connecting anything.
- Does it work without any hardware? Yes, two ways — measure an Audio Unit plugin (a drive plugin or amp sim, rendered offline), or Simulation Mode, which measures a virtual drive circuit with the same pipeline.
- Where does my data live? On your Mac, and nowhere else. See privacy.
Bigger-picture questions — validation, platform choice, impedance — live in the FAQ.
