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).
I’m Blaise from Toronto. I’ve had a MOD Duo since 2016, but aside from spending a day or two experimenting with it maybe in 2016 or 2017, it’s been on the shelf. I’m finally diving in this Christmas break to see if I can make use of it for recording and live violin.
Hi I’m Peter. I live in I’ve bought a MOD Dwarf with a view to using it live for synths and instruments and vocal FX with my band. I may even plug the guitar in there at some point. I’ve been playing around with it for a couple of weeks using a Minilab MK3 controller and mostly getting the hang of setting stuff up.
Hey, it’s been really easy to assign stuff. Plugin and it works straight off. The problem is that the controller names don’t display on the Minilab (or any additional controller apparently).
Hello,
I’m Sandy, a hobby guitarist and I play in a metal band.
I’ve had a Mod Dwarf for a few days now and am currently testing the device in the hope that I can replace my Line 6 Pod HD 500. Unfortunately, I haven’t quite managed to do this yet.
I work as a software developer (go) and am currently looking into the Rust language. I still have to take a closer look at a few things (lv2, Mod SDK, etc.) and in the long term I plan to create my first plug-in attempts with the “MOD Dwarf”.
But I’m taking my time with it, I want to get to know and understand the mod better and I’m not neglecting my hobby either
