The record

Purpose: AIDA-X is an AI amp model player for loading and playing models of music gear, mainly for high-fidelity amplifier simulations.
Signal chains: It can run signal chains combining amp, cab, distortion, drive, fuzz, boost and EQ.
Platforms: Installers are provided for macOS and Windows, and Linux downloads are provided as binary tarballs.
Cabinet simulation: A cabinet simulator using impulse response files runs after the amp model, and IR files can be WAV or FLAC.
Controls: The plugin includes input and output meters, bypass and input level controls, EQ tone controls, and output level adjustment.
Online version: AIDA-X Online runs in a WebAssembly-capable browser, uses preselected guitar loops instead of audio input, and allows users to load their own amp models and cabinet IRs.
Integrations: The LV2 headless version is described as optimized for embedded systems including MOD Dwarf, Raspberry Pi, Portenta-X8 and Aida DSP OS.
Model training: The maker links an online model trainer for creating JSON models, which requires neural-network training.
Security: The maker warns that its desktop builds are unsigned and may trigger warnings that they are from an untrusted developer.
License: The repository states that AIDA-X is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later.
Standalone limitation: The standalone app connects to the system-default audio device and currently has no option to select another input or output device.
Support: The project points users to the MOD Forum's Neural Modelling section for discussion and sharing amp models.
Maker: Aida DSP describes itself as a startup focused on digital audio processing that offers products and consulting services.
Desktop platforms: Installers are provided for macOS and Windows, with binary tarballs for Linux.
