Yet another try.
A striped down version of the previous one. This time it was possible to record the sample and share.

Thanks for sharing those! I tried on my original mod duo and even though the CPU meter was only in the 30% range, I was still getting pops and clicks… Since I am new to the platform, I don’t know enough to be able to troubleshoot…

I have been browsing the online pedalboards and have made notes of which work with my plain mod duo, so I can start posting those here if that’s the intent of this topic.
Here’s one that I just tried and sounds nice -
How are you embedding the pedalboard view in the posts?

This is expected if using IR convolver and your unit is on < 1.11.6
Some of the system tweaks made on that version are required by this plugin

Hi @Lyford_Rome
Thanks for trying my pedalboard.
I think the first step to troubleshoot is to verify which MOD DUO system version that you have on your device and update it to the latest one (1.11.6) if possible.
About the IR Convolver plugin, as @falkTX mentioned here…
You won´t “see” the real CPU load when using this plugin.
My choice for the IR Convolver was because I wanted a good sounding spring reverb.
I´ll compromise on that and try to go back using the TAL-Reverb plugin so the pedalboard can have a more reliable performance.
There are other incredibly good sounding plugins on the plugin store but I´m running the reverb signal in parallel (all wet) and there are only a few of them that do not “bleed” the dry signal into the mix.

When you publish a pedalboard from the Web UI, it uploads an image of the board. You also have the option to record and attach a sound sample at the time of publishing.

Exactly as @malfunction54 said but that applies if you are sharing one of your pedalboards.
If you want to share someone else pedalboard you can simply copy the url and paste the link on your post and it will embed the image in the same way.

after I posted that, I got to wondering if the question pertained to the forum or the pedalboard site

Here it is the PB with the TAL-Reverb.
I´m thinking of changing the title of this thread to “Trying to squeeze some extra juice of the MOD DUO”

Hi. Did you tried to set latency to 256 samples. That’s still usuable and it’s you’ll have more cpu power. That’s what I was doing when I had a mod duo.

Hi @Julien
Well… that is indeed a possibility but personally I´ll not compromise my 128 buffer size because latency tends to accumulate inside the digital realm.
I rather use another device* than cope with bigger latency.
If someone finds interesting here are the difference on the 'CPU load" readings using 128 samples and 256 samples with the latest PB that I shared (RF Clean 5.3).
128 buffer size: fluctuating between 77 to 78%
256 buffer size: fluctuating between 53.3 to 54%
24% is a lot to work with. So for rehearsals and playing live seams very ok to use 256 samples as buffer size but I´m not doing any of that at the moment.
*The DWARF was the chosen one back in 2020

This pedalboard is promising…
The clean channel of the Veja Titan plugin sounds really good and it’s EQ responds really good.
As of now with 128 buffer size the CPU is fluctuating between 70 to 71%

Hi @gianfranco
No reason at all!!! That is a pure and simple mistake.
I was just trying out the Veja Titan and it sounded so cool that I goot eager to share the result and didn’t notice that.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Just shared a new one with a little twist!
This is as far as I can go with the MOD DUO.
If I add anything else the DUO spikes on the CPU usage and I get X-runs.
I´m starting to think of the MOD DUO as a more specialised unit.
Running fewer plugins to achieve specific sounds with the DUO placed in a larger chain of effects seems to be the way to go since I really like the CPU hungry simulators and reverbs.
As of now I have the DUO as the last unit and I run only a OD and two pedal boosters in front of it.
Here it´s my setup:

Hello guys.
Today I tested a simple pedalboard for a good clean sound and it is CPU friendly for the DUO.
Cheers

my pedal board is over 95% and i don’t know why… i have put some pedal for my stereo instrument…
someone can help me?
i don’t know why but a i can’t attach snapshop to show you…
thanks

You should investigate by spotting the cpu consuming plugin. Remove 1 plugin at time from the chain. Make sure to not break the chain when a plugin is removed.

Hello @Gabry_Stick
After you identify the plugin that is the culprit just replace it with a similar plugin and check the CPU usage again.
Share your pedalboard here so we can take a look at it.
