This is the old manual for using the Device Settings menu in version 1.6 and older.

You should upgrade your MOD Duo to the latest version to get the most out of it. Not only new features and bug fixes but also better performance and audio quality.

To upgrade, connect your device to your computer, click the upgrade button that will appear in the bottom right corner and follow the screen instructions.

Inputs

The options for adjusting the inputs are Stage and Fine Adjust.

The Stage menu allows you to adjust the gain stage of the selected input. Inside of the Stage menu there are 3 options: Low, Mid and High, representing the following input gain levels:

  • High = +3dB

You should select the gain stage that best applies to the instrument you have connected. Short press the knob to activate the selected gain stage.

Tuning

The MOD Duo has a built-in chromatic tuner which can be accessed by pressing and holding the right knob for one second. Both inputs can be used as the tuner input, to select between them short press the right knob. To exit the tuner press and hold the right knob for one second.

If you see a question mark on the tuner screen, it means the MOD Duo is not receiving any input.

Duo-manual-9.png

To tune a guitar, play an unfretted note on a string and tune it until you see the correct note on the display. When the background of the rectangle becomes black the string is in tune. Each vertical bar represents 10 cents. The first bar, to the right or left of the central rectangle, is filled when the signal is between 1-10 cents out of tune, the second bar when it is 11-20 cents out of tune, and so on, and so forth.

Playing

After you have powered on and adjusted the volumes of your MOD Duo, it is ready for playtime. The MOD Duo comes with many pedalboards ready to be used. They are organised in banks and can be accessed via SETTINGS menu.

Loading a pedalboard

In order to load a pedalboard, first access the SETTINGS menu by pressing and holding the left knob for one second, then select the option Banks with a short press. See how to organize your banks using the MOD GUI.

Once you have the Banks menu open, you can select any bank according to your preference. The name of each bank should give you an idea of the style of the pedalboards it stores. A short press on the knob will open the selected bank showing the pedalboards inside of this bank.

To load a pedalboard, make your selection by turning the knob, followed by a short press on the knob. Each time you load a pedalboard you can try how it sounds and once you find a pedalboard that you like, you can exit the Banks or Pedalboard menu by pressing and holding the left knob for one second.

Adjusting pedalboard parameters

As you might have noticed already, the default view of the displays shows the assigned parameters of the plugins for the current pedalboard. You will learn more about assigning parameters in the next chapter.

These parameters you see on the displays were considered important to be accessible to the user when the pedalboard is loaded. To adjust the value of each parameter you just need to turn the knob until the desired value is reached. More than one parameter can be assigned to the same knob, to cycle between them, short press the knob. On the top-right corner of each display you can see the index of the parameter being adjusted and the amount of assigned parameters on this display.

After you have changed the values you might want to save or reset them. The reset will restore the last saved values for all assigned parameters, while the save option will save the current parameters values to the current pedalboard. To access these options, press and hold the left knob for one second to open the SETTINGS menu, then turn the knob moving the selection until Current pedalboard option and short press the knob to select it.
