MOD Dwarf

Your Modular Audio Processor.
Build rigs, create sounds, and perform live with modular freedom.

What is the MOD Dwarf?

The MOD Dwarf is a standalone modular audio processor that lets you build your own custom pedalboards.
Load plugins. Patch effects. Chain synths and loopers.
Whether you’re a guitarist, synth player, producer, or sound explorer, Dwarf puts modular power at your feet — ready to perform, tweak, and create in real time.

Every rig starts with a blank canvas. Build yours the way you want it.

“If you love software, if you love the imaginative and compositional choices it affords, at last hardware is embodying that same freedom.
Few devices do that more elegantly than the MOD Dwarf.”

Peter Kirn, CDM

Compact on the outside. Powerful on the inside.

MOD Dwarf combines modular flexibility with hardware-grade reliability — ready for the stage, the studio, or your next sonic experiment.

Connect to Anything

MOD Dwarf acts as a central hub for guitars, synths, microphones, MIDI controllers, and CV devices.

Designed to enhance any signal routed through it, Dwarf morphs seamlessly between standalone pedalboard, audio interface, synth controller, and live rig anchor.
