This page holds the information on how to use the Settings menu on your MOD Duo.

Updated for the MOD OS version 1.13

Overview

These are the Settings you can access and control directly in your device, even when you are disconnected from your computer:

DUO-Settings Banks.png

  • Banks: Navigate your Banks of pedalboards
  • Current Pedalboard: Restore default state or save a new state for the current pedalboard
  • Hardware Bypass: Control hardware bypass
  • Tempo & Transport: Control Tempo & Transport settings
  • Tuner: Access tuner and configure whether it should mute the outputs or not
  • User profiles: Manage User Profiles
  • System: Access system-wide settings and information such as inputs and outputs gains, Bluetooth configuration and more

Accessing and navigating the Settings Menu

Press and hold the left endless knob to open the Settings Menu.

On the left screen, you will see the main menu. The right screen will display the sub-menu related to the current item selected on the main menu.

DUO-Settings Banks.png
DUOX-Banks-AllPedalboards.png

Scroll the options in the main menu by rotating the left knob. Some options have a toggle indicator that can be triggered by quick-pressing the left knob. These options have a "[ ]" or "[x]" indicating the state of the toggle. For example, the Hardware Bypass can be turned on or off by pressing the left knob.

Scroll the sub-options using the right knob. Quick press the right knob to access a third level menu or to just turn on and off the selected option.

Press and hold the left knob again to exit the Settings Menu.

Banks

DUO-Settings Banks.png

Note: You can only access this menu when you are disconnected from your computer.

The MOD Duo comes with many pedalboards ready to be used. They are organized in banks and can be accessed via Banks menu.

Place the selector on the left screen over the Banks option and navigate in the right screen between the Banks.

Press the right knob to enter a bank and navigate its pedalboards. Once you enter a bank, you will see a list of all Pedalboards inside the bank.

DUO-Settings Banks.png
DUOX-Banks-AllPedalboards.png

Press the right knob again to select and activate a pedalboard.

You can organize your banks anyway you want using the Web GUI interface.


Changing pedalboards using the footswitches

On the Mod Duo, you can use the footswitches to navigate the pedalboards.

On the left-hand screen, on the right side of the "Banks" menu item, there is a "Foot NAV [ ]" option. By pressing the left knob, you can turn this option on and off.

DUO-Settings Banks.png

When Foot Navigation is on, The Footswitches will navigate to the next or previous pedalboard in the current bank. Left footswitch will load the previous pedalboard, and the right footswitch will load the next.

Current Pedalboard

DUO-SettingsCurrentPedalboard.png
DUOX-CurrentPedalboard.png

This option allows you to restore the default state of the pedalboard, or to override it with the current state.

Selecting the "Reset state" option on the right screen will discard any changes you might have made to any parameter of any plugin and restore the state of the pedalboard as it was the last time it was saved.

Selecting the "Save state" option on the right screen will save the current state of all parameters of all plugins. Next time you load the pedalboard or choose the "Reset state" option, the pedalboard will go back to this state.

Note: You can only access these setting when you are disconnected from your computer.

Hardware Bypass

DUO-Settings HardwareBypass.png.png
HardwareBypass.png

The MOD Duo has a true bypass circuit for each pair of input/output. This allows you to physically connect input 1 to output 1, and input 2 to output 2. The true bypass is enabled when the device is off and it is automatically disabled after the current pedalboard is loaded.

This option allows you to quickly activate the Hardware bypass to both channels or independently bypass each channel.

Quick bypass

Quick press left knob to quickly turn Bypass on and off. On the left screen you will see "Bypass [ ]" indicating that the bypass is off or "Bypass [x]" indicating that the bypass is on.

Hardware Bypass options

On the right-hand screen you can turn bypass on and off independently for channels 1 and 2 or for both.

You can also change the behavior of the "Quick bypass" by changing the last option called "Quick Bypass Channel(s)". You can set it so "Quick bypass" will bypass both channels (default) or only one of the two channels.

Tempo & Transport

DUO-Settings TempoTransport.png
DUOX-TempoTransport.png

With the 'Tempo & Transport' menu selected push the left endless knob to activate or deactivate the transport. In other works, this works as if you were pressing play on your DAW.

On the right screen you can see and edit both the tempo (in bpm) and the time signature (beats per bar). The count is always done in quarter notes.

To edit both the 'Tempo' and the 'Beats per bar' simply select them, push the right endless knob and turn it.

Tuner

DUO-Settings Tuner.png
DUOX-Tuner.png

On the MOD Duo you can quickly access the Tuner by pressing and holding the right endless knob any time. Press and hold it again to exit.

This option allows you to tune your instrument. Both inputs can be used as the tuner input, to select between them short press the right endless knob.

If you see a question mark on the tuner screen, it means the device is not receiving any input or the input levels are too low.

Choosing whether the tuner should mute the outputs when activated:

In the settings menu there is an indicator "Mute [x]" that you can toggle to mute your outputs or not when tuning. Short press the left knob to change this value.

User Profiles

DUO1.13-Settings UserProfiles.png


User Profiles allow you to switch between pre-configured device settings.

Say you use your device sometimes to play with your guitar and microphone, in the studio, and sometimes with a synth in a live performance. For each situation, you might need to have different Input and Output gains and volume settings. So a user profile can be used to quickly switch between setups.

The settings that can be stored in a User Profile are:

  • Input settings: Everything under System > Inputs
  • Output settings: Everything under System > Outputs
  • Sync and MIDI settings: Everything under System > Sync and MIDI

Factory User Profiles

The factory user profiles have the following characteristics:

A: line level input

  • Inputs
    • On this profile the 'Stereo Link' function is active and both input gains are at 7%. This is ideal to connect line level inputs (for example audio from your phone or computer soundcard).
  • Outputs
    • The 'Stereo Link' for the outputs of this profile is also active and both outputs volume is at 100% (maximum).
    • The headphone volume is set on 60%
    • Last, the 'Direct Headphone Monitoring' function is off.
  • Sync & MIDI
    • 'Clock Source' is internal and the 'Send MIDI Clock' is not active.
    • Both the 'Snapshots Nav MIDI Chan' and the 'Pedalboard Nav MIDI Chan' are OFF.

B: instrument level input

  • Inputs
    • This profile has the 'Stereo Link' function active and both input gains are at 15%. This is ideal to connect your guitar, bass or synth.
  • Outputs
    • The 'Stereo Link' for the outputs of this profile is also active and both outputs volume is at 100% (maximum).
    • The headphone volume is set on 60%
    • The 'Direct Headphone Monitoring' function is off.
  • Sync & MIDI
    • 'Clock Source' is internal and the 'Send MIDI Clock' is not active.
    • Both the 'Snapshots Nav MIDI Chan' and the 'Pedalboard Nav MIDI Chan' are OFF.

C: mic level input

  • Inputs
    • This profile has the 'Stereo Link' function active. Both input gain levels are at 61%. This is a gain level ideal to connect microphones on both inputs.
  • Outputs
    • The 'Stereo Link' for the outputs of this profile is also active and both outputs volume is at 100% (maximum).
    • The headphone volume is set on 60%
    • The 'Direct Headphone Monitoring' function is off.
  • Sync & MIDI
    • 'Clock Source' is internal and the 'Send MIDI Clock' is not active.
    • Both the 'Snapshots Nav MIDI Chan' and the 'Pedalboard Nav MIDI Chan' are OFF.

D: internal sound generation

  • Inputs
    • This profile has the 'Stereo Link' function active. Both inputs are with 0% gain. This is ideal if you are using source generators from inside your Duo, for example a MIDI controller controlling an instrument loaded on the Duo.
  • Outputs
    • The 'Stereo Link' for the outputs of this profile is also active and both outputs volume is at 100% (maximum).
    • The headphone volume is set on 60%
    • The 'Direct Headphone Monitoring' function is off.
  • Sync & MIDI
    • 'Clock Source' is internal and the 'Send MIDI Clock' is not active.
    • Both the 'Snapshots Nav MIDI Chan' and the 'Pedalboard Nav MIDI Chan' are OFF.


Switching between User Profiles

On the left screen, navigate to the "User Profiles" menu. On the right screen, the 4 User profiles (A, B, C, and D) will be displayed. The current selected user profile will be marked with a checkbox "[x]".

DUO1.13-Settings UserProfiles.png
DUOX-UserProfiles.png

With the right knob, navigate through the profiles and short press the knob to select the profile you want. Confirm the change.

DUOX-UserProfiles-ReloadUserProfileA.png

Saving a new User Profile

You can have up to four User Profiles. The first step to save a new user profile is to choose which from these four profiles will be overwritten.

  1. Switch to the profile you want to overwrite
  2. Navigate to System Settings and change values for Input, Output, and Sync an MIDI settings
  3. Navigate back to the User Profiles menu
  4. On the right screen, select the "Overwrite Current Profile" option
  5. Short press the right knob to select this option and confirm

DUOX-UserProfiles-OverwriteUserProfileA.png

System

DUO1.13-Settings System.png
DUO-System.png

Below this menu you have the following options:

  • Inputs
  • Outputs
  • Sync & MIDI
  • Bluetooth
  • Display Brightness
  • Info
  • System Upgrade

Inputs

DUO1.13-Settings System.png

Duo-Outputs.png


This menu allows you to control Output volumes.

Stereo Link: If ON, the output volumes for both channels will be linked and changes applied to one channel will also be applied to the other one.

Output 1, Output 2, and Headphone Volume: Navigate to one of these options and press the right knob to select which one you want to change. Turn the knob to change the value and press it again to exit edit mode.

Direct Headphone Monitor: Allows you to turn on/off a direct monitoring of the incoming audio (via inputs) on your Headphones output.

Sync & MIDI

DUO1.13-Settings System.png
DUOX-System-SyncMIDI.png

PEDALBOARD NAV MIDI CHN

Here you can set the MIDI channel to be used with an external controller in order to change pedalboard.

If the channel is set to anything except OFF, the device will listen for Program Change messages on the selected channel. The incoming message value will be used as the index of the pedalboard to load from the current bank. This means that if PC 1 is issued, the first pedalboard will be loaded, if PC 2 is received the second pedalboard will be loaded, and so on. Pedalboards can be reordered using the Web interface.

Please note: This feature is only available when you do not have the WebGUI in your computer (or any other device) open. In case you have the WebGUI open, the MIDI Program Change message that you define in this menu won't have any effect.

SHAPSHOT NAV MIDI CHAN

The functionality is analogous to that of the PEDALBOARD NAV MIDI CHN setting, but in respects to snapshots of the current pedalboard.

Bluetooth

DUO1.13-Settings System.png
DUO-System-Bluetooth.png

This option displays your Bluetooth status information and allows you to turn on the Discovery mode for 2 minutes. For more details of using Bluetooth with MOD devices, see the full Bluetooth article here.

Enable Discovery: Select the option to turn on the Bluetooth discovery mode. After confirmation, your device will be visible for two minutes.

Status: Shows if the discovery of your device is available or not.

Name: Shows the name of your device in the Bluetooth network. You can change this name on MOD Web GUI. More info here.

Address: Shows the Bluetooth address of your device.

Display Brightness

DUO System-DisplayBrightness.png

  • 0% (off)
  • 25%
  • 50%
  • 75%
  • 100%

You should adjust this value accordingly to your environment and to your viewing angle. Flat viewing angles may require higher brightness settings and vice versa.
