MOD OS 1.14 Brings TONE3000 Browsing to Dwarf, Duo X and Duo

MOD Audio has released MOD OS 1.14 for the existing Dwarf, Duo X and Duo, bringing TONE3000 browsing into its amp-model and impulse-response loaders. It is a software update for three established devices, rather than a new effects pedal.

Find captures from the pedalboard

MOD’s platform lets players build virtual pedalboards from plug-ins and connect them in series or parallel. Its current neural-modelling documentation confirms that NAM A2 runs on all three hardware models.

The TONE3000 integration brings model discovery into that workflow. After signing in, players can choose a capture or cabinet impulse response and download it directly into the relevant plug-in. Finding a file is not the same as knowing how much processing power a complete pedalboard will need: the announcement provides no per-model CPU benchmark.

Useful changes beyond the capture browser

Version 1.14 adds grouped, colour-coded controls where plug-ins support them. Dragging a replacement plug-in onto an existing one preserves its connections. The release also addresses snapshot saving and MIDI program changes after the browser closes.

The update follows MOD’s community-to-testing-to-stable development process. Some improvements came through Starless, an independent Dwarf operating system, but installing Starless is not a requirement for the official release.

Check the version before updating

The current release announcement identifies the final build as 3370. Owners already on RC6, build 3368, have the same features; MOD calls the final installation optional for them.

Other owners need version 1.13.5 first and should back up their pedalboards and files. MOD lists a web-interface update for Dwarf and Duo X, with manual installation for Duo. Use the file for the correct device and check the current instructions before starting.
