Got my dwarf (at loooong last!) recently. It will mostly be used for guitar processing at first, but I expect it will eventually come in handy all around the studio.
This gear looks FUN!!!

Well Iāve been a member of this forum for a while now so thought Iād better say hello. Iāve been on and off the forum looking at updates and looking for info on various stuff since before the end of last year.
Had my Dwarf for a couple of weeks or so now and itās an amazing piece of kit. Still finding my way around it.
My name is Richard. Iām a pensioner. A sometime musician. I play guitar, mainly acoustic but have an electric,I mess about with synths too - analog and digital. Avid reader of horror and thriller novels.
Anyway hello from me from Derbyshire in the UK.

Welcome (officially) here @doc_kildare!
Iām curious to listen the āhorror novel based musicā that you get out of a setup with the Dwarf, acoustic guitar and/or some synths

Hi everyone,
Iām one of the patient Kickstarter backers, still waiting for my dwarf. I joined the forum now after occaisonally reading bits and pieces here before.
Yesterday I tested the mod-live-usb for the first time and would love to find out what itās capable of. I have questions 
Cheers!

Hi all from Spain,
Being part of the forum for a while and Kickstarter backer, I finally got my Dwarf and started using it a couple of days ago.
I play guitar and do home recording, now and then, aiming to use the Dwarf as recording tool, playing with some IRs and being creative around it.
Cheers!

Hi everyobdy!
Iām a Kickstarter backer from southwest Germany and a big fan of open source. I donāt get to make as much stuff as Iād like to, but here are some things Iād like to try with my dwarf:
- Song specific pedalboards / presets: Make learning new songs a little more exciting
- Go-to Guitar + Ukulele + Keys pedalboard for my (more or less comedic) acoustic duo
- Learn about sound and sounddesign without having to buy a gazillion physical things
- Replace my acoustic drumkit (too loud) with Dwarf + Midicontroller
- Some home recording
- See what the Dwarf can do e.g. for making the sound in an live audio play or Foley art
Cheers!

Hi All!
Iām Sāmanth, Iām based on the south coast of England and play bass guitar and ukulele for fun.
Iāve experimented with the MOD OSS ecosystem on a pi+hifiberry self build fx unit (Both MODEP and a custom self build) but was fortunate to come across a nearly new MOD Dwarf at a price I just could not refuse ā¦ so I will be joining the āowners clubā when I collect it on Saturday.
Before retraining as an ICU nurse, I worked in IT and still love to geek out, so as well as using the Dwarf to āget my groove onā I hope to fiddle with some stuff, like adding a self build midi control pedal (I would like to have more footswitches), try to get it setup to run off a battery (I play in an acoustic band and noone else needs mains power to perform) and even try my hand at writing a plugin or two.

Welcome, @SamIAm! Hope you have fun with your Dwarf.
I too used MODEP on RPi and PiSound before acquiring my Mod, and the difference is huge. Youāll see.
Re external power: some have tried and shared their experiences here and here.
(I strongly advise against using stepped sinewave inverters. You may check this thread for your reference.)

Hello, I have a new dwarf which I love, I am a classical guitar player mostly and I enjoy improvising and experimenting with electronic landscape music. Iāve been playing around with it creating pedalboards and recently experimenting looping with LP3. I also have a Godin guitar with synth output that I will be testing out later via Roland synth pedal to the midi in of the dwarf.

Welcome to the forum. @eduardo.guitar. There are a few midi guitar players here, like the very Mod Father Gianfranco.
If your Roland module has proper subsonic filtering, you should get decent results with the Dwarf. Have in mind that not all synths interpret 6 pitch bend messages simultaneously, so you might need to output midi through a single channel.

Hi, Iām Laurent, based on the south of France.
I just received my mod dwarf with the voucher offer. Already spent a few hours discovering the beast, this seems to be a very creative tool, not the usual multi-effects you would expect from other products, and this is what Iāll use for.
Iām a bass player but todays I spend most of my time composing. I like jazz and experimental music, so the mod dwarf will be useful for new sound design!
My early start with the mod dwarf was not really positive since I had to fight with the background noise issue (partially resolved with a DI, a noise gate and the ground loop option in the mod dwarf system menu) as I currently uses it only in my homestudio.
Also I didnāt receive the Overtone plugins and the 2 vouchers but I received my unit less than 24 hours ago, so I guess I have to wait a little more
But to mitigate this comment, I find the web gui to be very intuitive, and Iām really excited for what Iāll be able to do with the unit!
As a side question, for those who selected the voucher option, did you receive your vouchers immediatly, and did the unit have the four Overtone plugins activated?
Have a great day!

Welcome to the forum, Laurent! (@gside).
My understanding is that vouchers are being processed/issued manually, so the same team quality checking the Mod units to ship them out then has to go to the computer and do that. Iād think a few days are needed before you get yours. If it takes too long, you should write to support@mod.audio
Oh yes, thatās one area where it will shine. Think of your audio signal being split in 4 then each one running through a different set of effects, then they all get mixed down and you can control the knobs/sliders of that mixer on the fly, including have a single rotary encoder move multiple knobs in different directions at the same time.
Now, try to do that with hardware: if each line had only 2 effects, weāre talking 10 pieces of hardware and 20 patch cables. Plus some external controller.
Yet, you can do that inside of Mod easily.
Hereās a very simple example from user @LorisDonatelli (itās for guitar, but just so you get an idea):
(Thereās no mixer in the end, but you can add one and use whatever amount of each line you want. Which is what I do.)
Good luck with your exploration!

you can also call me m.eik. apart from my band, iām also involved in C3S.cc, aiming to become a music collecting society with full support for Creative Commons licenses, and RKWard, a GUI/IDE for R.

@gside, @QuestionMarc is somehow right when he says that the same people that check if the unit is fine and ship it sends the codes. Not exactly the same at the moment, but it may take us a bit. Anyway, I believe that you already received it and for your descriptions, I believe that e are in contact over email.
Let us know if we can help with anything and keep enjoying your Dwarf. Ah! And feel free to share some of your music
@m.useon thatās quite interesting. It would be cool if you share your experience moving from one piece of gear to the other.

@jon Yes, I did receive the voucher codes within 48 hours. I was waiting for the Overtone plugins before posting an update here. And I confirm that we now are in contact for these plugins and the ground loop issue, partially resolved at this time.
Edit: Ground loop resolved with the use of a cheap-but-effective Behringer HD400 āhum destroyerā, plus the DI / balanced cable to my audio interface!

Perfect!
Iām glad that you solved the noise issue (although not really happy that you had it the first time).
Regarding the rest, letās solve it on our email conversation
