You can choose between true or buffered bypass, and the firmware can be upgraded via USB.

This could plausibly save players from bringing a rack’s worth of guitars to a gig - the results are certainly believable in the demo video above (although you might still want to bring an acoustic).

The Tone Capture Guitar is apparently available now, but the price is TBC. See Mooer Audio for more.
