Could you build this?
No The product is a wireless guitar interface that depends on low-latency audio hardware, real-time neural amp/FX modeling and stem separation. Doing this well requires embedded hardware, DSP expertise and ML models tuned for real-time audio.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a wireless audio interface built on custom hardware or certified Bluetooth/Wi-Fi audio streaming with very low latency. It also needs real-time neural amp and effects modeling, which means DSP engineering plus trained models that run on a phone or device. Stem separation and multitrack recording add further audio-engineering work.
