Thanks @jon
You always been my “personal Mod sales rep” guy here 
Sure, I’ll still be blasting vocals and high gain guitars through a PA set tomorrow!
Let’s hope there soon is a way to access the plugins.
Heck;
I would even download the WHOLE bunch in a big pack and install them manually if necessary.
(wink wink anybody)
Now I wished I wasn’t as indeceisive and so I would have spent my €50 store voucher already
I can understand that. But wouldn’t it have been worth it ?
What are the plugins you are interested in ? I think there is a way to extract them from another unit and install them in an other one manually via SSH. I don’t have my Dwarf yet (just a Duo), but maybe other people around here have the plugins you want and would be happy to share.
Would someone like at MOD be able to provide us with a little script or something to make that operation easier ? @falkTX maybe ?
Don’t take me wrong, I believe these are the guys that can push quite some sales for a week or two. Now the problem is if that fits in your cash balance and cash flow.
Good luck with the reboot!
Love my 2 Duos 2 foot pedals and new Dwarf from Thomman, and I am also tier 3.
Oh man. This is sad. I’ve been on both sides of this situation more times than I care to think about. I just missed out on the Linux IPO craziness. Our mgt pulled the plug a couple days before it was time, divied up the money and split. We got old laptops as compensation instead of the $millions in options.
Startups are hard. Most fail. We can call it crowdfunding, but in the end, this is just the same as any market - you find investors and you give it your blood. Sometimes it works. Usually it doesn’t.
I hope you can reboot in some way - I’ve been kind of holding off with mine in hopes of a better workflow set up or at least good documents, and kind of waiting for a couple of things like the guitar synth stuff. I was gonna load up a few plugins, but I guess that’s on hold for a while.
So far, it has given me many hours of dial twiddle experimentation fun, and even a few Gilmour fantasies. (I admit it.)
Anyway, best of luck. I think the concept is viable, especially with a good angel.
anybody going to Guitar Summit in Mannheim (9.-11. Sept)? We could meet there, drink some beers, and discuss how we proceed as community
Hi @Azza
I was thinking about that last night.
Maybe we should start a New thread for this. The Wiki has some info on that subject.
Very sad news, I think the concept is great and i bought and included the Dwarf in my guitar gigging rig. I think the question has been asked, but not answered? will we be able to access cloud to download plugins. Also, I had not downloaded/applied the latest firmware. It would be great if this was available or can someone kindly send it to me (assuming its stable?).
Ok. I’ve created this thread
just got blocked from liking what you all share here due to being a low tier Member and obviously liked a lot. so now i got to write my opinion although a lot got written already. And wow! i had relations with less emotional impact then this “MOD ride” we had together and obviously still have.
I want to applaud everyone here who manages to not blow up Ego and let it crack publicly 
i remember telling my employees that the company is going south fast. remember the insolvency
i feel for those “responsible”
my MOD Duo X arrived just days AFTER a two-weeks-lockdown - when the stacked work overwhelmed me. massively. it is still in the box…
btw i backed the dwarf (with gig case!) tier3 with honor (just kidding - but yeah i’m fine not going to compare it to the MOD-teams situation.
Fun Fact: was about to open the box finally, when the MODfathers email arrived. as if i’d wish not to play with the MOD… super strange
got burnt in a few crowdfunding campaigns, was co-founder of a basic income initiative, a (paying) Member of the C3S
Not willing to give up deciding for those who are willing to go the more stony road
not willing to break this world down into black and white and be blind for all it’s colorful potential
And here are a lot of people involved with buckets full of color! nice
TLDR:
I feel you all - as a lot of us seem to do.
but it’s not about feelings imho, nether is it about what comes in mind shadowing the possibilities. Not about positiv thinking (what ever that means) nor being realistic even.
Paradigms shifting and the MOD devices Team was keen to try things that are worth trying, worth investing, worth loosing. yes we seem to loose this possibly. may it be a catharsis for what it’s worth
I would love to see MOD devices keep on going a “Blender-esk route” as i interpreted it. i WANT this to be the shining star of an open minded community. And yes it already shimmers a lot for years now. some light on this groovy road we all seem to be on. be it with this or that in mind, and different feelings thanks for that to all of us.
a foundation or cooperative an association for those who already are more then just a customer dealing with “the Team” and other “higher tier customers” in forums etc sounds worth considering to me
Team me up scotty!
fare well to those about to leave the ship now and
ahoy to all isles to be discovered along the way!
that helped
thank you for you attention
Behnam
such thrills - not even have touched this thing - spooky! in a good way
Just fixed that part
beware of a lot likes to come
well - you are right. The open source part is the Linux kernel, JACK, installed tools, most of the plugins.
BUT - the infrastructure is what does count here as well.
There are two issues for the community if we want to continue:
I would love to see that information public.
I think we have enough knowledge to create alternative Pedalboard and plugin repos if needed.
could you please share that information?
I mean: it’s there for us to use, but has to be gathered first. Look at this thread for more information
These are sad news - although not entirely surprising to me. I feel for the hole MOD team and hope they can start fresh.
I’ve backed a few things on Kickstarter across the board in the past. Most of it got released - often not as planned, lacked features. I even have stuff sitting in boxes that the infrastructure for is gone.
I always weight in risk/reward on those things. Like buying stocks. It’s easy to say having received my dwarf in the 2nd tier but it could have been easily just a glorified reverb pedal if everything else was subpar. Which in some aspects it is but in others it brings me so much fun that I can disregard that.
The forum and the team was always helpful and supportive.
And I have no doubt that even when everything shuts down the device will be working for a long time - as long you got your backups and the firmware. I still use my line6 m9 from time to time and that is 12years old.
Thank you Behnam! I’m in full agreement. Whatever happens with the project - and I’m hoping for the best - the community will live on.
I realize that there is a price tag attached, that said a Pete Thorn review might have provided a value ROI that would have been justified. It wouldn’t be the first time my pedal purchases were influenced by a demo that he did. His Soundblox Pro Multiwave Distortion demo from a decade ago made me aware of Source Audio, and I have became a fan boy owning six of their pedals -including the original Multiwave.
