Pick a song and the gear you own, and XTen tells you how far to turn each knob. Upload an audio file or paste a YouTube link, choose your amps, pedals, multi-effects, guitar and pickup, listen to the separated guitar tracks, and get values written in each device's real knob names and scale. Every value carries a trust grade: amp gain band and delay time are reliable, and the rest are starting points to tune by ear. Supports 119 amps, 336 pedals, 49 multi-effects families and 175 guitars.

Could you build this?
Partial Stem separation can use open-source models and the UI for picking gear is standard, but accurately inferring knob settings from audio and maintaining a gear parameter database is hard.
What it would actually take: A real version combines a source-separation model (such as Demucs), a per-device database of knob names, scales, and tone-to-parameter mappings, and an audio-matching or optimization engine that estimates settings for a target tone. The hard parts are the signal-processing and ML work to map audio to parameters, plus the costly manual curation of accurate gear data. This needs audio DSP and ML expertise and access to modeler/amp profiling data.
