Hardware or Software — Start Your Journey Your Way
MOD is a platform, not just a product. Whether you prefer the power and portability of a hardware unit or the flexibility of a free desktop app, the experience is the same: modular audio freedom, powered by our open-source tools and plugin ecosystem.
MOD Dwarf
The standalone stompbox powerhouse. Craft sounds, play live, and leave the laptop at home.
MOD Desktop
A subset of the MOD experience on your computer — free and open-source. Great for testing and sound design.
Your Sound, Assembled
At the heart of MOD is the Web UI — a flexible, modular space where you design your rig exactly how you want it.
Chain plugins in any configuration. Create split paths, parallel effects, complex routings, MIDI chains, CV modulation, tempo-sync’d effects — and more.
Whether you’re using MOD Dwarf or MOD Desktop, the experience is the same: total patching freedom in a drag-and-drop interface.
Your Pedalboard, Unlimited
Explore a growing collection of 300+ plugins — from vintage tones to cutting-edge machine learning amps.
The MOD Plugin Shop is your modular playground.
Drop in amps, cabinets, synths, delays, reverbs, loopers, utilities — even neural models.
New plugins added regularly — with many community contributions and open-source gems.
Open by design
MOD is built to be changed: the OS, the way it is released, and the plugins that run on it.
An open OS
The MOD OS images are open: change them, repack them, share them. Starless, the first community-built OS for the Dwarf, is on its seventeenth release.
Developed in the open
MOD OS now ships through three channels: COMMUNITY, TESTING and STABLE. Anyone can install a release candidate and report what they find.
Make your own plugins
Describe an effect to an AI assistant, patch it in Pure Data or Max gen~, or code it in FAUST. The MOD Cloud Builder turns it into a plugin for your device.
Built by Community. Powered by Curiosity.
MOD is more than gear — it’s a growing collective of musicians, developers, hackers, artists, and dreamers.
From open-source contributions to patch sharing and plugin development, our community is the heartbeat of everything we do.
