Hey @Bruceboulie,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It is really appreciated.
Just wanted to check what you meant here:
Are you saying that the Duo can’t do a 4 cable setup?
It was my understanding that you could do something like this:
Instrument -> (pedals) -> Duo [ Input 1 -> Plugins -> Output 1 ] -> (pedals) -> Amp In
Amp FX send -> (pedals) -> Duo [ Input 2 -> Plugins -> Output 2] -> (pedals) -> Amp FX Return
I’m sure others here with more experience can help clarify 
Hi Danmh, you’re absolutely right you can do it that way. I forgot to mention that I run my rig in stereo to get a nice, wide sound. I just really wanted to point out that having the ability to incorporate a loop and STILL go out stereo is a feature the competition has. Thanks!
Hi @Bruceboulie, thanks a lot for your detailed feedback!
I’m happy to know that you are happy with your new Duo. Sorry for the delay in the answer, hope that during this time you manage to keep the opinion and get even more excited about your Duo (did you?)
Just wanted you to know that your feedback is being taken into consideration by MOD team.
On a personal note, from the devices that you refer to, I feel that some have similar goals with the MOD, others not so much (like the Kemper, for example).
Anyway, it’s really nice for you (and the rest of the community) to share how they really want to use the devices, so the team can optimize them in those directions.
Just tested Harley Benton MP100 midi controller (clone of MeloAudio MIDI Commander) and it works perfectly.
For those interested, here it is a custom opensource firmware but it’s kinda pre-alpha stage currently
Has anyone tried the Lexicon footswitch designed for the MPX G2? I am in the process of replacing my MPX G2 with a Dwarf (although I think the one that just arrived is faulty. The display is constantly flickering and I can’t get a clean sound through it and now it’s making weird noises when I’m not playing).
It seems like a great solution, given it’s layers of program switching, along with being able to turn on and off individual blocks.
Do you mean the MOD Dwarf? Is this the issue that you were reporting in the other thread?
Now reading it from here I also think that something may be “funky” with your power supply or even with the place you are connecting it. Please write to support@moddevices.com about the issue (add your serial number and maybe a video of what is happening to speed up things )
Update for the folks here: I got my Dwarf replaced and the new one functions perfectly! I’m looking forward to hours of experimentation!
Hello @BoulderBass Edwin,
the Lexicon MPX R1 should work with a standard MIDI to TRS Type A cable.
For using the Lexicon MPX R1 controlling snapshots and pedalboards please have a look here.
If you want to control plugin parameters via MIDI have a look here.
Greetings and God bless, Marius
Thanks!
Lots of info about MIDI controllers, but is there some options for an expression pedal? I heard you guys are developing one. How far down the track is that anticipated to be?
A page on the Wiki for expression pedals would be awesome.
I think the best bet for expression pedals is to get a MIDI controller thing and a separate expression pedal to go into that, then send them both into the Mod device together. In my case, I’m currently using the M-Vave Chocolate with a Hotone Soulpress II. The best part of the Soulpress II is that it has separate expression and audio outputs so I can use it as a wah like normal going into my Mod without having to mess with a virtual wah plugin inside the Mod (no perfect way to switch on a virtual wah). Then it’s also a nice expression pedal for any parameter. Then you also have 4 bonus stomps with the Chocolate! Other midi controllers that also work great and take a generic expression pedal (tested and work great with my Dwarf and Duo) are the Disaster Area Designs MIDI Baby and the Logidy UMI-3.
Yep. We have a sort of list in Expression pedals and adapter options for the Dwarf.
@James is the best guy to give updates, but as far as I know, the hardware is mostly set and waiting for the “go” to move into a test production. The firmware side then should be rather fast.
I will save that suggestion
As @jon said, we have a topic where I give updates about the status of the expression pedal
Expression pedal update
I gave up on the stock FCB1010 but have had GREAT SUCCESS with both Line 6’s FBV Shortboard Mk II and FBV Express Mk II. They plug in fine to USB and can be easily programmed on Mac and PC with an editor to send CC or Midi machine control. The switches can toggle or be momentary or even be set to increment values. The lights reflect the on off state of the pedals but not necessarily the state of the MOD depending on what the initial settings of your pedalboard are. I just zero out the pedals with each new song. I also got the midi program change to work with boards and snapshots. The LCD displays what midi is being sent when you press any switch.
The shortboard is built like a tank and can be found used for a little over $100 in the US. The express has a plastic base with 4 metal pedals, but is about half the price.
I realize this post is very old, but I just got an MP100. It’s not working so I probably haven’t put in the correct settings. Can you let me know what you did to make it work?
Many thanks …
Hello all! Trying again to get into synth stuff and I just found a good price for an Arturia Minilab 3. I was wondering if this will work as midi controller for my Duo X. It’s not in the list but that doesn’t mean it won’t work so… Anyone has ever tried it? Any other midi keyboard with similar features recommended?
Thanks! It was nice to come back to the forum and read the news! 
Is there any reason why you think it might not work?
This is quite a standard midi controller, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t.
There are tens of thousands of midi controllers out there. It is impossible to individually test and list all of them.
Just this conversation made me a bit uncertain about it… I’d like to use the USB connection as I may need the DIN for control with other device.
Other people seem to have used Arturia devices and Duo X without any problems so I guess it’ll be ok. Just wanted to make sure. Also seeing the Akai MPK mini in the list but not the Minilab made me doubt as both seem to be close competitors and very popular in that range.
Thanks for the answer!
I have used an FBV Mk2 line 6 thing which works well and seamlessly.
However, I have had to buy several units over the years because the usb port broke in exactly the same way x3 times on different units.
I recently decide to upgrade to a morningstar mc6 pro which also works with the mod. A lot more complicated to program than the FBV but has a lot more features.
Neither of the above units allow me to press and hold a stomp and then another. I am really interested in units that will allow me to do this so if any owners of any of the above mentioned units have a minute and could try pressing x2 switches at once and report back I would massively appreciate it
I’d be surprised if anyone else had this dinosaur but the 30+ year-old Nobels MF1 Midi Foot Controller works without problems. You need a TRS type A cable, mind.
