MIP-S V2 | Modular Inline Pedal System

The Problem with Traditional Pedalboards

Live Performance

One cable fails

Traditional pedalboard showing potential connection failures

One cable fails mid-set → performance stops. The audience notices. Your reputation suffers. Traditional daisy-chain setups create 50+ failure points between your guitar and amp.

Studio Sessions

One cable fails mid-session → the take is lost. Studio time is expensive. Technical failures cost money and kill creative momentum. Hybrid signal chains (analog + modular + digital) multiply failure points exponentially.

MIP-S Auto-Bypass

MIP-S Core connected to 8 pedals via unified cables

Fault-tolerant series topology detects failures in real-time and auto-bypasses the failed loop. Signal continues flowing. Performance continues. Session continues. You stay in the zone.

• Wireless control and app programmability give you unlimited flexibility with your existing and long-loved pedals.

Hot-Swap Capable

Change pedals mid-session without powering down the entire rig—and without pops or noise. Swap effects cleanly. Experiment. Iterate. All while maintaining signal continuity. MIDI recall ensures repeatable presets for touring and session work.

What Makes MIP-S Different

⚡

Fault Detection

Intelligent monitoring of each pedal loop. Auto-bypass on failure detection. Signal continuity guaranteed.

Unified Cable

One cable per pedal carries audio, power, MIDI, and fault detection signals. Eliminates cable spaghetti.

Full MIDI Control

Set up your songs, lead patches, delay times, chorus bumps—anything you can think of—with our app and wireless foot controller. You can even leave the pedals in their case and just use the controller.

The Story

In 2017, Dan was on stage performing live with They Might Be Giants when a single cable in his pedalboard failed and took the entire board down with it. The show stopped. It was not the first time, and it would not be the last. That recurring failure exposed a deeper problem with traditional serial pedalboards: one bad cable can collapse the whole signal chain. MIP-S started as Dan’s answer to that problem — invent the fix, then build it.
