Hi there, I am Jess from Maine I just recently started playing with Mod desktop on rocky 9 (running a realtime kernel based on 6.12). I play a combination of neoclassical fingerstyle / jazz / mathy metal. Currently most of my neck time is on a new 9 string I am totally smitten with, the flubbery extended range is actually what prompted me to look around for new ways to amp and process guitar the guitar tone.
Extremely impressed by application, bought a dwarf less than 48 hours after I first compiled the desktop app over the weekend.
I am really keen on contributing to the code (glad to volunteer some packaging work if that is is still needed) and hope to see Mod audio succeed financially.
Many thanks for taking the time to respond. It was my intention to use a MIDI foot pedal such as the M-Vave Chocolate, which from what I’ve read here and elsewhere seems to work with Mod Audio devices - as well as adding expression control. In fact I dislike trying to mess with floor board type processors on the floor. I’d much prefer having the screen at eye level and being able to easily tweak the knobs if necessary - much easier on my back too…
But what I still need to ascertain is whether 399€ is a reasonable price for a used Mod Duo X, given the fact that it is not a current model with only limited support?
I haven’t been in contact with the seller yet, but of course I’ll ask if they know whether or not it is the problematic SE model before negotiating the price.
Many thanks for your comprehensive reply and advice. I was already aware of the issues with the SE model, but I wasn’t quite sure how to go about checking that with the seller, since he doesn’t appear to know much about the device, and I’m assuming that perhaps he’s not too tech savvy.
But I do need to know whether the asking price of 399€ is reasonable, given the fact that the Mod Duo X is no longer a current model and won’t be receiving future updates or improvements which the Mod Dwarf receives.
This is very reasonable, especially if it’s a production unit (that has a power switch on the back).
In what way do you think the support is limited? Only some HMI changes with the Dwarf receive different/less updates, but otherwise it’s the same treatment and OS under the hood.
The DuoX will still receive firmware updates together with the Dwarf. Only the Duo (the very first MOD production model) won’t receive automated updates (but can likely still be manually updated).
