User Manual for RockBoard MOD V2 Patchbay

Quick Guide from the Manual

The RockBoard MOD V2 All-in-One Patchbays are designed to organize connections to and from your effects setup. They act as a central access point, routing connections from underneath your pedalboard to the front. Please note that these units do not require power and do not distribute power; they are purely routing tools.

Device Overview

There are three versions of the MOD V2 available, each offering different connection types:

• MOD 1 V2: Features TRS and XLR connections.
• MOD 2 V2: Features TRS, MIDI, and USB connections.
• MOD 3 V2: Features TRS and Stereo XLR connections.

Installation on RockBoard Pedalboards

The MOD V2 can be mounted in the dedicated MOD slot available on most RockBoard pedalboards (except DUO 2.0 and 2.1). Follow these steps:

1. Remove the rubber frame from the pedalboard's MOD slot.
2. Turn the pedalboard upside down.
3. Use a TX10 screwdriver to screw the self-tapping mounting screws into the pre-drilled holes. The screws will cut their own threads; this may be hard-going for the first few rotations.
4. Once the tips of the screws stick out, remove the screws.
5. Load the MOD unit from the front into the slot and screw in the mounting screws until the front plate sits flush.
6. Secure the unit with the counter nut on the back. If access is difficult, remove the additional support brace.

Installation on Non-RockBoard Pedalboards

For pedalboards without a dedicated slot, you can mount the unit directly to the board surface:

1. Detach the front plate using a PH2 Phillips head screwdriver.
2. Apply self-adhesive hook tape to the underside of the MOD housing.
3. Apply self-adhesive loop tape to the desired position on your pedalboard.
4. Attach the MOD unit to the pedalboard using the hook & loop fasteners.

Detaching the Front Plate

If you need to mount the unit on top or underneath a board, you must detach the front plate so it fits flush. Simply remove the screws indicated on the unit using a PH2 Phillips head screwdriver. The mounting nuts of the jack sockets do not need to be removed.
