Laniakir IR Loader Module

Description

Laniakir is a compact, all-in-one IR loader module designed for inclusion in FX pedals, guitar amplifiers, and IR-enabled reactive loads.

Measuring just 40mm by 22.5mm and 6mm in height, it’s small enough to fit seamlessly into nearly any product or DIY project. At its core, Laniakir runs a precision DSP engine with 24-bit / 48 kHz processing, delivering true high-resolution audio that preserves every detail of an impulse response. Just plug it into your computer, and it shows up like a USB stick, so you can drag and drop your own IRs without needing any extra software — it works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Thanks to its wide 5V–24V operating range, Laniakir is power-rail agnostic — it integrates effortlessly into existing designs without any special requirements.
