Your favorite Moog effects

[GogolInferno]

So recently i have been drooling over every moogerfooger and i was wondering what is your personal favorite and why.

I've been checking them out too over the last few weeks, I really like the Low Pass, cos I'm into the synthy kind of sounds, and the Phaser, its best phaser I've heard so far, very versatile. The MuRF looks pretty sweet too, makes some beautiful sounds. I think the delay is a bit short for my purposes though. Plus being able to use CV pedals with any of the knobs gives them a massive edge. Just wish I could find someone that sells them near me, and that I had the cash for them once I found them

To tell the truth, I've got the Lowpass filter, and while it is a cool pedal, especially with a exp pedal on the sweep, mine has recently added a crazy hiss into the background which is unacceptable. It can be a terrible background noise to none at all depending on god knows what, and I'm hoping to figure out if anything actually wrong with it or not pretty soon cause I'd like to trade it for something.

just for backup information, I used to run it through a wobo true bypass system, and over the course of a few months the pedal started to make more and more background noise more and more often.

When it was working well, I used it a lot with slap and found some really sweet sounds feeding distortion and delay into it.

I want, and think I will one-day get the Freqbox, Low Pass Filter, Ring Modulator and Bass Murf. I want them all with about 2 expression pedals for each pedal.

I got to try them all out over the summer and I gotta say the Freqbox is my favorite. Look online and see what it actually does to your signal. Very cool pedal, a lot of original sounds.

I had the Bass MuRF for a while, but realised what I was after required an actual synthesizer. So, I got a Moog Little Phatty, for about the price of a new bass, and haven't looked back. Plus it's totally cool to play the Moog with a bass strapped on, ala Geddy. You can also plug a bass into the Little Phatty, and use it as the coolest filter ever.

So, I've been curious. What does the MuRF do? I haven't been able to find sound clips of it anywhere. How does it compare to say, an EHX Micro Synth?

You didn't look hard enough.

When all else fails, always go to the manufacturer!

As you can see, it's NOTHING like the EHX Bass Micro Synthesizer. The MuRF (regular and bass versions) is a bizarre filter array.

[SkiingLizard]

It's a sequenced filter

Bass Murf there are samples there just below the picture

i'm itching to check out the Low Pass Filter.

The Bass MuRF was a big letdown. All it does it takes what you play and then put it into a pattern. So you play one note and then it does whatever pattern you have selected after that.

Cool for noise or random miscellaneous ****, but useful? i could not find one.

Yeah, the samples make it sound as if it could funkify pretty nicely.

Joe Walsh covers?

Yeah, not the sound I'm looking for either, based on the samples at least, especially for the price.

i have the ring mod, and while it is insane, i think it was a waste of money for practical musical purposes. it makes some dope UFO sounds and whatnot, especially with the exp. pedal, but like others have said, it is crazy noisy. nothing makes me more mad than a 300 pedal that isnt quiet. i would suggest not buying any of them. there are plenty of great pedals out there that match what moog does. imho of course. cheers

[Mudfuzz]

I really like what I've heard of the Freqbox, and Bass Murf [ I can see some cool uses for it], and although I love every sample I've heard of the Low Pass Filter it doesn't do down so I don't really want one at this time.
