I’ll tell you that when I started this whole adventure on the noise issue, I had zero idea about any of this. I have been doing nothing but forum gliding and research regarding how to squash this issue.
I had to do the electrical stuff because that was one more variable to eliminate from my testing, that and I had a scary ass power surge that made my bunghole pucker about a month ago that I’m considering may have damaged some of my power supplies.
I’m planning on recording audio on my tests and hopefully making a private video on my channel to share here for internal purposes.
I should be able to demonstrate the warble from the provided power supply, and the results of swapping for this new PSU.
Then it will come down to making recommendations on a DI or isolator, or if it’s even necessary (in my set up 100% necessary)
I’ll also be able to test next month if this issue is dwarf specific or MOD device specific as I have a DUOX on order that should ship sometime around late October.
I’m really invested in trying to find a reasonable and cheap solution either on the user end, or even the MOD team end such as the power supply. Even then, the only pedals I’ve ever owned that provided power supplies are strymons. So they are doing us a favor by providing any accessories at all.
What I am hoping is that it’s a dwarf issue that can be addressed internally to see if maybe some hardware/PSU changes are necessary.
What I don’t want is for it to be a full hardware issue across the line.
This is a very unique and fantastic product, I just want everyone to have a solid experience with it, and I know it’s not just us who are struggling with this issue. If we can make the mod devices 100% streamlined in operation then it will 100% shake up the industry due to the open source nature of this project.
I will always give my support on that. Even though I could install MODEP on a raspberry pi, I never considered doing that because I believe that the hardware sales are critical to supporting the project.
Fingers crossed something I’ve done will give some sort of direction to move in.
So far, there are a few of us who have replaced the power supply with great success at noise reduction. If you test and verify, we may have a cheap solution for the team to work with.
Fingers crossed that a PSU helps you!
I’ll see what I can do about securing an amp to test with.
P.S.
If this HUMX doesn’t solve my problem, I will 100% try out that Idefender. I record through an iPad and can easily put that in my chain. Plus it’s cheaper than the one I’m trying lmao
And tbh, I don’t have the budget to be doing this, I’m just foolish with my money lmao
Also, if you hold off on your final decision on the dwarf until the next update comes out, apparently there will be a few significant changes that we will have access to that may mitigate this issue without spending money. A noise gate is one of the big feature that is supposed to be coming. That feature alone may handle all of this issue, but we won’t know until we get a chance to test it out.
Being an early adopter is an experience. I’ll tell you that this has been the best early adopter experience I have had with a company that cares about their offerings. I’m willing to be patient, but understand that gigging musicians have a much larger necessity for these changes than I do as a hobbyist
We are here to help and making the MOD Dwarf and the MOD platform even better
