Frequently Asked Questions
The Stratus app gives you full control, but once your presets are saved, you can switch between 14 of them directly from the pedal. That means you do not need your phone on stage or at rehearsal. Just plug in and go.
Stratus works with most iOS and Android devices. If your phone supports Bluetooth and runs a modern OS version (iOS 13+ or Android 9+), you're good to go.
Absolutely. We regularly release firmware and app updates at no cost — new features, performance improvements, and free effects all come standard.
You get 15 free builds to start. After that, grab more anytime with affordable one-time credit packs or a monthly subscription — whatever fits your workflow.
You're covered. Any Chaos Audio plugins you've purchased work seamlessly on Stratus, your desktop DAW, and future Chaos gear — no repurchase required.
