MOD Dwarf Standalone Modular Audio Processor Guitar / Synth Multi-Effects Pedal
Manufacturer's Description
The MOD Dwarf is a standalone modular audio processor that lets you build your own custom pedalboards. Load plugins. Patch effects. Chain synths and loopers. Whether you’re a guitarist, synth player, producer, or sound explorer, Dwarf puts modular power at your feet — ready to perform, tweak, and create in real time. Built for musicians, creators, and explorers — ready for stage, studio, or adventure.
Compact on the outside. Powerful on the inside. MOD Dwarf combines modular flexibility with hardware-grade reliability — ready for the stage, the studio, or your next sonic experiment.
MOD Dwarf acts as a central hub for guitars, synths, microphones, MIDI controllers, and CV devices. Designed to enhance any signal routed through it, Dwarf morphs seamlessly between standalone pedalboard, audio interface, synth controller, and live rig anchor.
Whether it’s replacing a single pedal, powering an entire synth setup, or anchoring a live rig with vocals, guitar, and loops — the MOD Dwarf adapts to your setup with its huge plugin collection, free internal routing and flexible I/O.
