MOD Duo X

MOD Devices have announced their latest audio-processing unit, the MOD Duo X. Building on the same ethos as the MOD Duo pedal, the X is a fully standalone, Linux-based audio processor that can host an “infinite number” of effects, virtual instruments and MIDI devices. The new unit is housed in a slightly larger unit than before, with more physical controls, but it still retains the two large graphical displays. Two encoders, eight potentiometers and four pads adorn the surface of the X, all of which are freely assignable.

The I/O has been improved with two extra CV ins and outs, joining the 1/4 -inch jacks, MIDI in/out, Control-Chain RJ-45, USB Host (2.0 Standard A-type supporting USB Wi-Fi and USB MIDI) and USB Device (2.0 Standard B-type supporting USB Ethernet adapter).

Under the hood, the processor has been beefed-up with a Quad core ARM Cortex-A53, 1.5GHz processor giving you the power to run a dizzying array of additional free and commercial plugins, available in the MOD plugin shop.

MOD Devices are already taking pre-orders for the Duo X, priced at $699.
