In March 2022, PiPedal, an open-source guitar effects pedal made for the Raspberry Pi 4, was made available to the public, according to Robin Davies. PiPedal provides guitarists with a cost-effective substitute by leveraging the Raspberry Pi 4 to develop a multipurpose effects pedal. PiPedal enables remote configuration and control of guitar effect chains with a touch-friendly web interface that can be accessed over a Wi-Fi hotspot on a linked phone or tablet. For greater capability and customization, users can simply install and integrate additional LV2 guitar plugins into PiPedal, even though it comes with a basic set of guitar effects from the ToobAmp LV2 plugin collection.

Guitarists can alter the tone of their instrument by using guitar pedals, which are tiny electronic gadgets. They are usually attached between the guitar and the amplifier and kept in small enclosures. Every pedal has a distinct function, such as enhancing the guitar's signal with modulation, delay, reverb, or distortion. By walking on footswitches, guitarists can engage or disengage the effect on their pedals. With the use of pedals, artists may alter and improve their sound, fostering more expression and originality on stage. Furthermore, musicians now have more ways to distribute their music thanks to the growth of digital distribution channels and music streaming platforms, underscoring the significance of excellent recordings that can be improved using guitar pedals.
In June 2023, When Warm Audio, a well-known producer of audio gear, introduced two new guitar pedals—the ODD Box V1 and the Mutation Phasor II—it caused a stir in the music business. Warm Audio is a top producer of guitar pedals, and both pedals demonstrate their dedication to quality and innovation.
