Minifoogers

Preordered the drive. I had to dig a bit for demos of the filter sweeping, but I think it does everything from the MF-101 that I would use in a much more practical package, plus the drive tones which are pretty nice.

I'm not surprised by the exclusion of an envelope filter, considering that was not a strength of the MF-101 IMO. The filter sounded great, but it really excelled at manual sweeps vs. the envelope side.

Truth right there.
 
I'm really glad Moog released this line and hope they'll extend it progressively, like they did for their large box counterparts.

The drive on its own already has a very nice texture to it, and I dig the fact that with the gain cranked it reaches fuzz territory but, with the foot controled filter sweep, it can easily remind of elegant old school synth sounds. I'd love to hear it through some chorus too.
 
I was basically set on buying a Dr. Scientist Tremolessence... but I would be interested to see how the Minifooger Trem stacks up against this.

I was about to get a 4ms Tremulus Lune, but then I got an email from Sweetwater for these pedals and was sucked in. I considered the Dr. Scientist as well, but I would never use Stereo in/out or the depth expression. The price is right on the Moog, it has the name "Moog", and it's got all the features I was looking for. Folks at Sweetwater (fantastic cust. service btw) said it should be in next week.
 
Ring Mod is just one of those effects you want to use, but can't.


100% agree. I have all of the Moog pedals, and RM is the only one that i "had" to sell. I once, while extremely focused, dialed in a practical tone that also didn't make my bass sound like it was out of tune. I didn't write the setting down, forgot it, and never found it again, hahahah.

I'm interested in the Tremelo pedal, but i have a feeling my Clusterflux can do what the Tremelo has to offer.
 
Just played through the Drive pedal. Moog might as well have called it a Filter/Drive pedal. Very versatile. They are going to sell A LOT of these. Unbelievable low end. This pedal will be replacing a lot of guys MF-101's. To me it felt just as fat, with none of the gain structure issues.
 
Haven't seen a post here in awhile. Who's got their Minifooger? Some were getting Drive & some Delay. Just wondering what people thought of them and if anybody has used any of the other ones(Boost,Trem,Ring)?
