Warwick Rockboard MOD 1+2 User manual
MOD
The RockBoard® MODs offer you the one solution you will ever need to organize all the connections to and from your RockBoard®.
Fitting all RockBoard®’s, except the Duo 2.1, each MOD has various cable connections to t a wide variety of needs as a convenient ‘thru box’.
RockBoard® MODs allow you to hook up your pedals permanently underneath your board and have a central access point for your instrument,
amp and power supply. You are using TRS, XLR, MIDI or USB in your setup? We’ve got you covered!
The RockBoard® MODs provide you with all the connections you’ll need.
Installation is as easy and convenient as it gets:
Depending on your choice, the RockBoard® MODs offer different options, but let’s start with the ones they have in common:
•TRS In/Output: You can use these for MONO, STEREO or Balanced Inputs or Outputs, Effects Loops, Looper Switcher and
basically anything that uses a 1/4” jack.
•IEC In/Output: This allows you to connect the AC IEC of your multi-power supply.
Here are the connections only found in MOD1:
• XLR In/Output: These are implemented for any instrument going through a DI straight to mixing board or
players implementing their FX-pedals for recording to connect to their Audio Interface
• DC In/Output: Some multi-Power supplies use an external power adapters instead of an AC IEC cable,
like the RockBoard® Power Block or the MXR M238 ISO-BrickTM* Power Supply for example. We’ve got that covered, too.
MOD1 Connections:
5x TRS In/Output
And here the connections unique to MOD2:
• MIDI Thru: These two allow you to route MIDI commands to and from your pedalboard via an audio interface to your PC or Mac.
You can Program setups and scenes comfortably from your workstation and load them into your MIDI capable devices
on your RockBoard®.
• USB Thru: Just like with MIDI, you can control and save/load presets without removing your FX pedals from your board.
MOD2 Connections:

Examples:
1. Let’s say you have an amp with an FX loop you’d like to utilize for your fancy Delay and send out a dry signal to FOH,
then this is what your setup might look like.
2. You are recording at home, tracking guitar and bass, in the process adjusting your digital FX pedals via software on your PC/Mac and
comparing your guitar tone of your favorite amp to the tracks you just laid down. Then your setup might resemble this:
