Hi! Has anyone invented a pedalboard for guitar that runs VST plugins? I've got great tones for my recordings using VST amps like Amplitube, but can't reproduce them live on stage because I can't run a VST.
I saw the vPed. It looks great, but I can't get it here in the States.
Hope I'm in the right sub-forum!
Thanks!

I don't know if this would be a route you'd want to go, but I've heard great things, from colleagues whom I respect, about iPads and iRigs, which allow you to load VST "stomp boxes" into the iPad - it even looks like a pedal board, but instead of your foot, you'd mount the ipad on a mic stand, and tap which stomp boxes you have loaded in with your finger. I'm sure there is a pedal board available to use as a remote for this as well, although I have no idea as to the cost.
The apps are cheap... in some cases, $4 per "stomp box" from manufacturers like IK Multimedia (Amplitube)...

I would go on to add, not only will you need a computer, maybe something like a Surface Pro that has a low profile, but a decent interface with a good analog out to go to the PA and a MIDI foot controller to switch your sim rigs, and a VST host (like Ableton Live).
Gonna be hard to find low a grade computer that will run these simulators. Just recording audio and some EQ/compression takes very little processing power. I run a live recording rig, 16 channels, on a very low end laptop with no issues, but all of the mixing I use a more powerful computer. Therefore, you will need a decent rig to get this all to work.

But John, I wonder if it wouldn't be cheaper and more stable to recreate your sound on a Line6 Pod HD or something similar

The title read VST, so I went with that thought. It should read, how to run an application ... It can run as a VST as well. You should do some research to see how well it performs on a dual core, if that is the only thing running, it probably wold be fine. The biggest issue that requires more research is latency.
I didn't read it all, but this might give you some useful information: https://www.native-…

Read that thread.
GR5 can run standalone, but there are some VST-players on the market in the EU. vPed is the one I was interested in:
But I can't get it in the US. It would be perfect - stomp box format, runs VST plugins natively, connects with my studio computer as needed, etc.
That Line6 POD may be the answer. Live sound is expected to be different than studio sound anyway.
I don't know if they are still in production but hardware existe
I don't know if they are still in production but hardware existed for many years. I think they are currently more oriented to virtual instruments than processing tools like amp simulators.
Do a search on hardware vst players. you might have some luck ;)
