FAQs

What types of modulation effects are included?

The Eventide ModFactor includes 10 algorithms: Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Rotary, Tremolo, Vibrato, Undulator, Ringmod, Q-Wah, and ModFilter.

Can I control the ModFactor with an expression pedal?

Yes, the ModFactor features an input jack for an expression pedal or CV signal, allowing for real-time control over various parameters.

How do I update the firmware on the ModFactor?

Firmware updates are performed via the USB connection. You will need to connect the pedal to a computer and use Eventide's software utility to load new firmware.

What is the difference between the two LFOs?

The first LFO modulates the effect itself, while the second LFO modulates the depth or rate of the first LFO, enabling complex and evolving modulation patterns.

Can I use the ModFactor in a stereo setup?

Yes, the ModFactor supports both mono and stereo inputs and outputs, offering flexible routing options for stereo configurations.

How many presets can I store?

The pedal comes with 100 factory presets and 27 user presets. Unlimited user presets can be stored and recalled via MIDI.

Does the ModFactor have true bypass?

Yes, the ModFactor offers selectable bypass, allowing you to choose between true bypass and buffered bypass modes.

Troubleshooting

No sound output

Check that the pedal is powered on, all cables are securely connected to the correct inputs/outputs, and the effect is not bypassed. Verify volume levels on the pedal and your amplifier.

Effect not engaging when footswitch is pressed

Ensure the footswitch is functioning correctly. Check if the pedal is in bypass mode and if true bypass is selected (which might require the signal to pass through if the pedal is off).

MIDI control not working

Confirm that the MIDI cable is connected correctly (Out to In) and that both the ModFactor and the MIDI controller are set to the same MIDI channel. Check MIDI settings within the pedal's menu if applicable.

Unwanted noise or hum

Try a different power supply or power outlet. Ensure all audio cables are properly shielded and grounded. Experiment with different routing configurations or try the buffered bypass mode.

Tap Tempo is inconsistent

Ensure you are tapping the footswitch at a consistent rhythm. If using MIDI clock sync, verify that the master clock source is stable and correctly configured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a vast range of high-quality modulation effects in a single unit.
  • Deep customization possibilities with the dual LFO system and extensive controls.
  • Robust build quality suitable for demanding stage use.
  • Seamless integration into complex setups via MIDI and expression pedal support.
  • Provides studio-grade sound renowned for its clarity and depth.

Cons

  • The advanced LFO system can have a steep learning curve for new users.
  • Requires a dedicated power supply (not always included).
  • A large number of parameters can be overwhelming initially.
  • Storing unlimited presets requires external MIDI control.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect your instrument to the input and your amplifier or next effect to the output. Use the appropriate power supply (9V DC, 150mA minimum, center-negative). For MIDI control, connect a MIDI cable from your controller to the MIDI In jack. An expression pedal or auxiliary switch can be connected to the respective inputs.

Compatibility: The ModFactor accepts instrument or line-level input and provides line or amp-level output, making it compatible with a wide range of instruments and signal chains. It supports mono and stereo operation. MIDI features are compatible with standard MIDI controllers and sequencers. USB connectivity is used for firmware updates and MIDI over USB.

Care: Keep the pedal away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent damage.
