Hey, I just wanted to say this is awesome and if you need somebody to help test it I'd love to help.

I'm a software engineer, but also a big guitarist. The WaveNet stuff is really interesting, but I'm not a DSP/ML expert. I could help you:

* Model a Dr. Z Maz 38 MkII, 5w Fender Tweed Champ, Ampeg SCR-DI preamp/DI

* Provide raw samples of: Gibson Les Paul 1958 Reissue (R8), Fender Telecaster (1955 type partscaster), Fender Stratocaster (1962 "thin skin" reissue), Gibson 1963 SG Junior Reissue, Fender 1958 Precision Bass Reissue, Taylor 814ce acoustic guitar

* Get the code installed on my local, test whatever you need help testing, etc.

* Testing and feedback on the real-time plugin i.e. using a VST/AU in Logic, testing latency, testing sound against in-room amp sound, etc.

I'd also be interested in figuring out how to get the real-time plugin you're developing into a pedal enclosure. I have a friend who is a top notch silicon valley hardware/power engineer, and we've been toying with the Strymon Iridium, Impulse Responses, analog pedal building, etc. It'd be interesting to use some guerrilla marketing, sell a few pedals on The Gear Page, and see what people think.
