In short, a plugin is the software counterpart to the physical effect unit. Plugins can do a variety of things, from simply adding some distortion to your sound to simulating a guitar amplifier to running a complete synthesizer with over 50 different knobs to twist and turn!

Recurring names
Because a lot of the available plugins are created by external developers, these plugins sometimes share part of a name. For example, we have quite a lot of plugins by MDA, so you will come across plugins that have MDA somewhere in their name.
Finding the right plugin
The previous sections should be enough to get you started with finding the best plugins for your scenario.
If you need some inspiration, be sure to check out what others used in their shared pedalboards: [1]
Don't forget that with the MOD Duo you can endlessly mix and match plugins to create new sounds. So if you can not find exactly what you are looking for, perhaps two plugins combined will give you the perfect solution!
