for the remaincalm fx - mud is a modulated bandpass filter that goes from univibe to electronic sweep, paranoia is inspired by the oto biscuit and can do a crazy gated fuzz, and floaty is a overdriven delay with a "floating" playback head that can pitch, modulate and go backwards.
A serious pro quality Modeller from Germany. Mod Devices has figured out what most players need is the sound of the big expensive high end stuff but knows they do not need 300 choices of amps or pedals in the unit at one time, just a few excellent ones. It is open sourced so the choices for great new sounds in the future should more than you will ever need. Affordable at around $525.00 USD. Enough to even entice a die hard analog guy like me, lol.
Yeah absolutely...I think it’s a really good product! I use the Mod Duo quite a bit in the studio. It can be anything from guitar Effects to amp sims ...but it can also be a great sounding Rhodes or drum machine or bass synth! This definitely looks like it would be much easier to use in a live scenario! Thanks Paul...hope you’re well mate!!
@Paul...agreed. 😊 I'm already thinking about this...although a new guitar just arrived yesterday. Like the guitar, it's the kinda thing I could justify 'for the fun of it', but can imagine I'd really get into using it. I'm often conscious that I'd end up playing with buttons and tweaking, rather than playing (properly), unless you really know why you have it. 😆
@@nostro1001 I have a secret formula to working hard on my playing. I am in a power trio, I write all the tunes and we have band practice 4 days a week. I always have both a lot to prepare and even more to deliver, lol.
You’re lucky you got one! I am one of the kickstarter backers that helped get them off the ground three years ago, and I STILL haven’t received my pedal! They gave the backers the option to wait longer to receive more sounds and custom options, so I was patiently waiting after choosing that option. Guess I made the wrong choice! They refuse to send me my pedal now unless I pay them more money! This is how they treat their backers. I wonder how they treat their customers?!
Who is this clean cut younger brother of Gabor 🤭😜 great vid. Would love to see how you could use this in more of a live environment and be able to use the foot switches to be able to turn off and on different effects without needing to scroll through banks to get to the different effects
Hope you get to do a more in-depth video on the pedal-board designer and come up with some interesting combinations of effects (you seem to have enough experience ;) ).
While I wait for my unit to arrive, I'm most interested in hearing its stock amp sims. VST sims begin to flake out when a session gets too heavy. I intend to use my Dwarf as a front-end for recording electric guitar and bass, offloading DSP duties from the DAW's CPU.
I want to know if it has any plugins that will host *reverb* impulse responses in the 2-5sec range. I know it’s powerful enough to do them but I don’t know if it has a plug-in yet that lets you do it.
Not everyone has 'good ears' or the experience on what the quality of some effects are. Like me not hearing the specific difference in certain delays or reverb. It kind.. off.. sounds the same. For example creating a sound like Strymon Nightsky, is that possible, or just a whole other league? With your experienced ears could you say something about that area or your haircut:)?
I will get into that more in the full demo of the pedal...this was just a quick first impressions thing to see what it sounds like straight out of the box! I’m not sure about the Nightsky...I never had the pleasure of using one but I might do a comparison with some Eventide and Line 6 gear...
Interesting...the first 3 comments here all speak of a haircut, with only 1 mention of this pedal amongst those. Must be like Gabor's folks and a sibling. 😳 St!te bad move here texting before the end...the ads were lengthy. I've not looked at the link for this, so have no idea about the price. I can't see myself replacing my pedals, but this would be some serious fun to play about with. Always tough to really know how things sound via RU-vid's compression, no matter how good ones playback gear maybe, this does seem solid. 🙏 Looking forward to a full review of this once you've had a chance to get to know its capabilities... 😎
Haha...yeah...my haircut seems to be a talking point!! I think they are around US$500...the thing about the Mod Devices stuff is that it really can be anything! It can be a guitar Effects unit but it can also be a Rhodes, Drum Machine or a bass synth...and as long there is enough CPU it can be all of those things at once...super flexible unit! Thank you nostro1001
Ok $800 (Aus) or $500 (US) Seems fair enough, about the same price compared to let's say a Strymon Big Sky with much more or about $100 more than something like source audio collider (that I own). Very 😎
