Maybe this pedalboard could help Auto Pad - MOD Audio

hi everyone, I’ve been looking for a year and a half for an emulation pedal that adds value to my music: I’ve always played with a classical guitar with two outputs -one made by me- on an old yamaha amp -Yamaha TA-60- 1970s piano with built-in spring reverb and tremolo, plus a proco rat pedal and a very noisy 90s zoom analog fuzz. I was looking for a more comfortable solution as the amp is very heavy, noisy and tiring and I needed new forms of expression. I bought, tc plethora, then hx stomp -incredible effects of course-, nux mg 30 and finally a headrush gigboard. All of them with good emulations, some very similar and others mediocre. When I finally seemed satisfied with the headrush gigboard, the proco rat, a line 6 m5 pedal and an expression pedal, the MOD DWARF appeared on thomann, I researched it, it looked interesting and I bought it. It has broken all my expectations - I sold the headrush - and it is changing the way I make music and how to show it to others, obviously there are things to improve but it seems like a constantly evolving product: only the convolution reverbs are worth the pedal…I’m a fan of reverbs and to my ears they sound spectacular…it’s like having ALTIVERB 7 at your feet -literally-…the new AIDA DSP amp sounds great even though there’s still work to be done…, the guitar synyhs, drums, looper, MIDI, VEU, shiro effects .etc…etc…
I have a unique feeling that I can do a lot by experimenting with the pedal and seeing what the community creates - pretty crazy stuff from what I see -
finally I think that MOD AUDIO has a treasure in the hands that few of us share and it should reach many more people to make the project bigger… a little more just hehe, this community spirit is beautiful and alternative to the most brands commercial…

hi
currently I’m An AXEFX3 user, but fed up the support isn’t willing to introduce some further ‘envelope followers’. so, the AxeFx features one envelope follower on input 1 only,
but I need at least one for a second input (would be input 2), as I don’t play bass nor guitar with it but Chapman Stick, which all if you might know has two Signals. And yh, i need it for some Auto-wah’s…
Long story short - AxeFx3 costs 2500 minimum but is usable for single output instruments only.
boy, if I would have known that earlier!
are the MOD Devices more capable of that you know?

Hello, AxeFxIII user here too. I profiled an amp block with envelope follower for gain for use it with Aida-X and it works!

Well that’s some promising news.
Would you be willing to clone that signal-flow within your build for a second signal, eg.
INPUT 2 >> EnvelopeFollower2 >> AmpSim2 >> Output 2?
thanks a thousand times
JFY-all-I…
thiis would be my complete flowchart needed (AxeFx3 is not able for yet, BTW):
INPUT 1 >> Envelope Follower1 >> Filter >> CabSim1 >> Output 1
INPUT 2 >> EnvelopeFollower2 >> Filter >> CabSim2 >> Output 2
@Kopplog Welcome to this great community!
Please don’t double post though; please continue the debate on the envelop filters/followers in the other thread you created:

Hi everyone!
I’m new here 
Got the OG Mod Duo kinda by sheer luck and stumbled into exactly the type of effects I’m into.
I gotta be honest though, I’m VERY much inexperienced when it comes to coding.
I know my synths, mod matrixes, patching and that kind of stuff, so I’m not someone strictly playing guitar going in blind, but I’m a full-time dad and music therapist that wont have time to learn coding in the near future, so forgive me in advance for my ignorant questions and requests in advance xD
I’m already enjoying the Mod Duo (will probably have to upgrade to an X or Dwarf somewhere in the future) its quite an intuitive interface (eventhough I dont find it as visually appealing as I think it could be) and it’s fun to use 
I have a few things that I’m having trouble creating/understanding that I was hoping some of y’all might be able to help me with?
- Cardinal = how to get it to work and whats the difference with the mini version
- Pitch Shifter with FORMANT SHIFTING = I own an SP404 with the voicetransFX (and multiple VSTs like Graillon or LittleAlterBoy) and I LOVE to use my guitar through it but can’t exactly stick it on my pedalboard. Anyone know of an effect that does this? So not a formant filter but shifter.
- Sample+Hold and/or random LFO with SMOOTHING function: been experimenting with the LFO but not able to get it to do a random sine.
- Reverse Delay = maybe I missed it but?
- Granular & “Glitch” effects = I was hoping to find more of these kinds of effects, am I missing something?
- Other forums? = are people also active on Reddit/Facebook/Elsewhere?
- Dexed presets = I’ve been using Dexed for years and have made quite a few of my own presets, is it possible to get those to work within my Mod Duo?
- Surge XT and/or Vital Synth = Is it possible to run these VSTs?
- Tal plugins = Same thing with the free TAL plugins?
Besides the bombardment of questions, I wanted to know how people here feel about feedback/criticism/plugin requests, from a nonqualified user?
I understand that its not very enticing to support or even listen to someone who has zero authority and despite that is seemingly demanding the world but I honestly always have the best intentions in mind and am always very open to criticism myself.
In fact I have quite some feedback I’d like to give on Mod Devices’ marketing etc BUT am also willing to do video demonstrations of pedalboards/fx chains for example
I love these kinds of communities and always support the DIY/open-source folk as much as I can, so if theres anything I can do within my capacity to support the cause!!
Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully speak soon!!
PS: heres some cool projects to maybe port over?

Hi Forum,
Great to be here. I just starting out with Mod (Dwarf), using it mainly for bass but I also hope for CV and some basic synth applications too. Mainly live work.
I need a little time to orientate and develop my understanding of things, appreciate any hints or tips that you’ve got though folks!

Hi there,I am one of the proud Founder Edition Backers.
I play electric, acoustic and bass guitars. And on top of that i’m a singer.
Bit by bit the Dwarf has to replace my other gear. I love the small scale of the device.
My dream is…walking only one time to the car when I play a gig. Haha!
The possibilties are so huge it overwhelms me now and then.
Musically I recently finished my project “Songs of my life”.
This is recorded without the dwarf.
Hope to learn and have fun on this forum!

I am using the Dwarf exactly as you are planning to use it: I am playing mandoline, guitar and I am a singer as well. My whole gear fits in a double guitar-bag, the Dwarf included. I am playing my instruments by using chanel A and parallely sing through the Dwarf in chanel B. Both chanels with a bunch of effects, even Aida and remastering. This works perfect! One device for all my needs, singing included.

How do you amplify the microphone signal? Do you have an external solution to give the signal a boost? Or did you solve this within the dwarf?
Welcome @Gijsbreght_van_Doorn
You do it directly on the Dwarf, by adjusting the input gain: Dwarf Device Settings - MOD Wiki

If increasing gain doesn’t work due to lifting the noise floor, my recommendation for the microphone is using an XLR to TRS Lo-Z to Hi-Z transformer.
I use one for my dynamic mic input into my MDX for when I record videos using MOD products.

That’s helpfull! Thank you.
The settings for audio input…are they caught in the pedalboard?
Or is this an overall setting?
Hi @Gijsbreght_van_Doorn
Yes, as @gianfranco wrote I manage this directly in the Dwarf. I have no noise problem with that.

So I have to send patches to the MOD plugin and I can’t edit them in the GUI??
What do you mean by this?
I’m not sure if you knew but Surge XT and Vital both run on Linux. So I’m pretty sure they’d run on Mod Devices
Yes I know 
Thanks for the feedback anyway
I do believe that’s correct
Just a general warning that beta plugins have not been tested or vetted in any meaningful way, and often don’t have a nice UI.
There has been some brief discussion on this Apparently, there has been some effort to build SurgeXT as an LV2 plugin, but there are some unspecified issues that prevent it from working as expected. Unless a plugin can be built as an LV2 plugin, it won’t work on a MOD unit until support for other plugin formats (VST, CLAP, etc.) is added.
