The smartest digital pedalboard ever created.

The pedal that finally bridges the gap between the stompbox world and digital tools. It offers hundreds of virtual units, smart controls, multiple analog pre-amps, and an ultra-compact design.

No more limits to what you can access

Over 400 plugins readily available for free. New releases every month. From effects and amp simulations to virtual instruments and MIDI utilities. The entire open-source world can finally be taken to the stage by any musician… Without a computer.

No more restraints to how you build your setup

The Duo offers far superior patching possibilities than any competitor. It’s an entire world of new possibilities to musicians. With two independent audio channels, you can split, join, feedback, and rearrange your signal freely and discover an endless array of tones. Get rid of those rigid slots of old-fashioned multi-fx pedals and patch like in the real world and beyond.

The most versatile stompbox ever createdWith three different pre-amps, choose the optimum input signal to any instrument while enjoying all the variety and flexibility of the digital world. Use it with your guitar/bass guitar and voice at the same time with full signal independency. Plug in a MIDI controller and add up virtual instruments to your gig – all in one single stompbox which features Audio, MIDI and USB inputs/outputs, offering maximum flexibility.
Shape it for every scenarioThe MOD Duo was designed to be ultra-shapeable to your needs. Assign any parameters to the two multi-function knobs. Stack several controls on each knob and circle with a push. The two onboard footswitches allow you to switch entire presets, pedalboards, tap tempo, or simply bypass with your feet during a live performance. The Duo is a blank canvas for all your necessities both in the studio or on stage. Expand to maximum connectivity with MIDI Learn, by using it as a MIDI hub for multiple controllers at the same time or with the MOD Footswitch.
