You’ll need an internet connection to:
                - download the app.
                - download new effects from our store.
                - update pedal firmware with our desktop application.

The rest of Stratus' functionality is not dependent on an internet connection. All communication between the pedal and the device is handled without the internet. So once you download the app and desired effects Stratus is ready to rock!
