Pedal Demos!

It is very quiet. Especially with the manual about about 9 o'clock. I found the 108 to be a bit loud as well. In general I wanted to love the 108, but the sound never delivered. The options were amazing, but it wasn't the sound I had in my head. The A/DA delivers the sound I wanted.
Yep i'm totally with you on the mf108 - just not quite what i expected. I really like the other Moog offerings though and your new set up sounds pretty sweet! Totally appreciate what you do for demos - and bass demos in particular. Incredibly helpful and inspiring. I'm subbed and hope it helps. Cheers!
 
Really? all of them? thanks...
The only one I actually took apart is the Xerograh Deluxe. We got one to test with Hot Hand 3. It looks analoggy, the manual reads analoggy, but that pedal had a low end DSP chip in there. I think its the Spin DSP. I can look again on Monday. It would make sense for the whole product line to use the same architecture.
More proof that people should listen with their ears! Generally, in my experience, bass players do this with more of an open mind than guitar players.

I can confirm a chip branded 'SpinSemiconductor' in the Xerograph deluxe.

A few are analog. The Oxide, QF2, SubT definitely are. Nimbus and Frantabit obviously are digital. I have no idea about the rest of the range. I'll let people with actual experience with those answer it ;)
Can also confirm no chip of similar size and legginess as the 'Spin' chip exists in the SubT. Certainly not on the down-facing side of the board, and not on the up-facing side either, on the assumption that I'd see the leg configuration from the down side.
 
A recreation of a great classic phaser!


I'm surprised it took this long for someone to make a re-done Maestro. Sounds just like it to me and much easier to deal with on a gig than the Maestro:
