MOD Duo and Duo X.

No longer manufactured, still part of the platform. Both run MOD OS and the same plugins as the MOD Dwarf.

MOD OS updatesNew MOD OS releases come to the Duo and Duo X too. MOD OS 1.14 brings NAM A2 and Tone3000 to every MOD device.
Plugins and the Plugin ShopNew plugins arrive on both devices, and the Plugin Shop works from their web interface, as on the Dwarf. A few exceptions are listed below.

Plugins that don’t run everywhere.

Almost every plugin runs on every MOD device. These are the exceptions, because of hardware differences:

  • Looperlative LP3 Basic and LP3 One: MOD Dwarf and MOD Duo X only.
  • Hardware Bypass: MOD Duo, MOD Duo X LE and MOD Duo X only.

The MOD Dwarf.

The most recent and mature MOD pedal: the same platform, plugins and pedalboards, in a rugged die-cast pedal with three footswitches.
