MOD Dwarf - *SOLD* £325

[andybassdoyle]

So this is a very interesting thing, I'm going to nick Gareth's listing right now but will add photos etc if required. Everything is unchanged:

 

 

I say interesting as everything is here in one place:

 

FX

Amp sims

Midi mapping and utilities

Sound generators/software modules

 

I've been running this as a live pedal board but have also been playing keys and synth bass from the MOD using a keyboard controller. It is quite amazing how much utility is packed in here. Plus it acts as a USB host as well as client so you can run additional devices and bluetooth dongles from it. I was also running the Moog Model D app from an Ipad, controlled by keyboard, routed though the MOD and sent to the iPad via midi bluetooth.

 

All works. Honestly, yes, it all works. And it doesn't sound rubbish, it sounds really good.

 

I'll explain why I'm selling it - otherwise it sounds like the above is just a sales pitch:

 

• I've used helix for years and I've struggled to step away from it. the Dwarf covers a lot of what the helix does, but not all. And some of the sounds I need are not available on the Dwarf. At least not yet
• The dwarf controls can be configured however you like, but there are not that many of them. Viewing parameters and settings is achieved via the MOD browser so you need an iPad or similar. This is where I struggled live - with any kind of complex set up it's difficult to see what's going on and the response time on the browser when changing boards (read presets) is too long - only a few seconds but that's too much live

 

My conclusions from the experience are

 

• great piece of kit - gamechanger and really future facing
• more suited to home use rather than live gigs (at least what I need on live gigs)

 

Other point of note - quality is brill. Built like a tank and great feel to all the controls etc. Comes in a nice case (as per photos) too.

 

Finally in the interests of full disclosure it was very noisy when I got it. Long story short the issue was the MOD PSU, I replaced it and all ok. I've used some of the vouchers mentioned in the original post.

 

Let me know if any questions gang. Love ya
