Hi
I’m Andy I’m a bass player, and I’ve just bought the Dwarf, although I’m having issues getting my Mac to see it at the mo 
So I’ve not been able to dive in and try it out, sadly.
It only arrived today and when I unpacked it I noticed it looked like it had been used. So I rang the shop apparently it was a mistake that they’d advertised it as new. They reimbursed me £75 but I’m beginning to wonder whether it’s faulty and that’s why my Mac doesn’t see it…? Does that sound likely?
Any advice would be gladly accepted!
Anyway, I hoping to learn lots on this great forum

Welcome to another bass player 
I assume you have tried the most simple test: unplug the power chord, while the USB is still in the Dwarf and your computer is on, and then re-insert the power chord (basically what amounts to switching the Dwarf off and on again).

Welcome! I hope you get it sorted out!

Welcome @AndyP to the world of MOD.
I’m also a bass player and a Dwarf/Mac user.
I have at time had issues connecting to my Dwarf from MacOS via USB, whilst connection from an iPad has been fine. I believe that it might be an Apple issue rather than a Dwarf one.

Hi @AndyP
Sorry to hear about the purchase experience. Which shop was it?
We have not shipped Dwarf units to UK dealers for a long time, so the unit is likely a return.
And as it might be a return, it is likely that the USB mode is set to Windows, which is not the default mode.
You can fix it following these instructions: Dwarf Device Settings - MOD Wiki
Let me know if that helps
And welcome!!

Hi,
My name is Kevin. I’m a guitar player (and linux user). I recently installed the MOD Desktop App on my computer, and I must say that it is by far the best guitar software I’ve seen on linux. I’ve used Guitarix in the past, and even though it has recently become excellent compared to what it was 8 or 9 years ago, I much prefer what you’ve done with the MOD software. I have some paid stuff (Tonelib GFX, and Audio Assault’s Amp Locker), but I actually like your software much better. The user interface is incredible! Just like a real pedalboard. Herman Brummer and the rest of the developers are just geniuses!
I also dabble in playing keyboards, so I’m quite pleased to see that plugins for synths are included.
I have couple of questions if I may:
I was looking at Patchstorage, and found some plugins there that are awesome, but I can’t get the Guitarix plugins to load. It says “Error loading effect”. The “stock” Guitarix plugins will load, but they don’t have a GUI; you have to access the controls in “settings”. When I Googled the error message, I went down the “how to build a plugin” rabbit hole (I’m not really a programmer; I’ve written a few python scripts for micro-controllers and bash scripts) with the thought that I might try to figure some of this out. I sort of understand most if the build process (conceptually), but can’t find anything that explains what ```
is. Is this just an LV2 plugin that hasn’t gone through the MOD build process that tacks on a GUI and stuff? If so, I might give a go at trying to “MOD”-ify some plugins to see if they can run on the MOD ecosystem when I get a little spare time…
At any rate, great job, guys and gals! Love your work.
Looking forward to being a long time MOD fan!

Hi,
I’m Jean-Loup, a sound engineer, guitar player and sunday “dev” from France. I’m specialized in spatial audio technologies, and am involved in several project around that, either as a consultant for brands, as a musician or as a teacher.
I’m using the Mod Dwarf on my pedalboard to handle the last part of the signal chain : power-amp simulation, delay, echoes and all of the stuff. I’ve opted for this hardware because of its openess and many great feature such as Faust and Pd support.
Right now I’m working on some complex setup toward spatial sound with guitar FX and I hope to find some help on this forum

Hiyas.
I’m a drummer and Chapman stick artist, recently given a serious case of GAS by a pedalboard builder. 
I’m here to get to know the Mod Dwarf and to be inspired by all you crazies on this forum.
The stick has a split stereo pick up, so it’s begging for me to organise my sounds.
I’ve noticed that Dean Kobyashi is on the Mod Youtube, in case any other stickists are curious. That certainly gave me more confidence in wanting to hook into the Mod world of sounds. Trey Gunn sealed the deal. #_#

Be patient with me as i get used to the forum interface.
Lotsa luv,

Welcome! If I’m not mistaken there are at least a handful of Stick artists here on the forums!

Hola!!! Un gusto de saludaros a todos,
Mi nombre es Marcelo, soy de Chile y mi instrumento musical es la guitarra.
He visto tutoriales y en algunos sitios de plugin y simuladores me encuentro con la sorpresa de que el pedal mod dwarf soporta NAM en formato nano y me interesa mucho obtener buenos sonidos y de calidad.
Estoy recién comenzando a conocer este programa y acabo de comprar el MOD Dwarf, y deseo poder ir aprendiendo de la experiencia de todos.
Muchas gracias!
