This is the place to start to learn everything about the forum!
Introduction to the MOD Forum
The MOD Forum is a welcoming place for all device users, potential customers, developers, enthusiasts and MOD team members, to get together, ask questions and discuss topics related to MOD Devices as well as music tech in general
This is the place where you can get fast responses from the community about any ideas you have or advice you may need. This is also a place where you can more easily talk to the MOD Devices Team. We hang out here quite frequently and try to answer back to any questions or ideas you might have
If you have a problem with a purchase, shipment or a warranty claim, please contact support@moddevice.com
How to use the MOD Forum
We want the forum to be as welcoming, easy to use and helpful to the community as possible
First, we would recommend that you read through this post, then head over and introduce yourself here
If you want to post on a topic or create a new topic, there are a few simple guidelines to follow so that you and the community have the best experience
1. Search First!
There is a chance that somebody may have had the same question or idea as you! Try searching through existing topics first to see if you can find a solution there. If you have an idea that somebody has already created a topic about, give that topic a like and post on that existing topic to show that you agree with it or add any extra details you have
It’s best if we have one single topic per idea, plugin, device, issue etc because it makes it much easier for other people to find it and makes it much easier to show the importance of that specific topic to the MOD team
2. Make the title descriptive
Try to keep the title short while also being descriptive
A title like:
Footswitch
is very short and does not give much information to a reader
I tried to install the latest control chain version on my footswitch but I don’t know how to connect it
is very descriptive! but also very long and will likely get cut off making it hard to read
How do I install Footswitch Update
is a good balance between short and descriptive
3. Find the right Category to post in
We spent some time to design and clean up the categories in a way that should fit any topic and be reasonably easy to navigate
Here is a summary of the categories and what types of topics belong in there
Each Category has more specific Sub-Categories inside. Ideally, topics should fit under a Sub-Category, but if it doesn’t, then you can still post it under the Main Category where it best fits
Click on the Category to go there and read more details about the kinds of topics that belong inside it and it’s Sub-Categories

Problems with creating posts or topics?
If you are unable to make a post or topic, it may be that you don’t have permission yet.
The forum has an automatic trust level system in place and, newly created users are given trust level 0, which has very limited permission. This is made in order to avoid spamming by bots.
In order to raise your trust to Level 1, you need to:
- Enter at least 5 topics
- Read at least 30 posts
- Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts
Once you accomplish that you will be automatically given Trust Level 1, which allows you to create posts.
If you wish you can learn more about the Discourse Trust System..
Please reach out to one of the moderators or MOD team members if you are not given a higher trust level even when accomplishing the criteria above.
You can identify moderators by this shield icon
And MOD team members by this MOD Logo
