About MOD Devices

MOD Devices’ founder, Gianfranco Ceccolini had a dream: having a multi-effects pedal that would never run out of effects, did not need a computer to be brought on the stage and could withstand the scrutiny of audiophiles everywhere. He left his day job and began working on this in his hometown of São Paulo, Brazil, and launched his first product, the MOD Quadra. After a successful Kickstarter campaign and a move to the headquarters of electronics manufacturer Schleicher in Berlin, he has taken his dream to the next level with the MOD Duo, the definitive pedalboard creator.
