[four2oh]

OMG!

http://www.moogmusic.com/taurus/?sec...oduct_id=21299

only 1000 to be produced, $500 deposit now + $1195 when shipped = 12+ month wait and hope they actually deliver the goods .. tempting..

[katri]

I would love one of these. But they are pretty expensive
Hopefully at least 1 TB'er will pick a set up.

[doobeye]

Oh man, sounds like it can't get any better. but is that sound really worth 2 grand? maybe it is, but nonetheless i would never have the money to be able to blow it on one pedal unless i was in a band like Rush, Led Zeppelin or Weezer. hahaha am I the only one who feels this way?

Yeah, isn`t it! Bad news is that we have to wait year or so.

Yes for both. I guess it still is available for 1699 $ in Moogs website.

I love moog but you've got to be kidding me. $2000 for a one trick pony? No thank you.

[katri]

Judas. I hate you.

Agreed. I'd rather go through the incredible hassle of MIDI programming and learning to play keys than shell out two grand for a PEDAL.

Gee, should I get this pedal, or should I get a new Ric 4003? The only reason to even consider someting like this is if you're viewing it as an investment, and you plan on selling it down the line. Obviously the manufacturer knows it ridiculous of they wouldn't have added that little 'if we go through with this' caveat.

If you're seriously rich enough that you can buy this thing and not feel the pinch... I hate you.

I remember a few years back when Moog did this with the Voyager. They said put 500.00 down and 6 months later you'll get the synth. And it was limited to like 150. I put the deposit down the first day. A year later i got the synth (and so did over 600 others...instead of the origingal 150).

[katri]

I suppose if there is enough interest why not make more.

[Ely]

I am tempted, but I just bought a Little Phatty, and so far the features look the same. If they add something unique to make it worth owning a completely new synth (perhaps more CV control would be nice) otherwise I'm just going to add a Roland PK5 to my current setup.

How in the world Taurus III could be one trick pony?! Although it is known for the Taurus sound it has dozens of differenet sound possibilities, 64 memory presets, midi, arpeggiator etc. It is a mono synth, instrument of its own, not an effect pedal.
