Moog Music MF101 Moogerfooger Low Pass Envelope Filter Pedal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow, someone actually wrote as a review "My husband uses this in his band a lot...don't know anything about it...", now I have seen it all. Why would any body think that an endorsement like that could possibly be helpful in any way? Oh great, well if it's good enough for your husband then I'll take TWO!! Holy smokes, what else do you see him using that I might want? Thanks for nothing, luckily anyone else who is looking at this will surely know what this is and it goes without saying it's value and quintessentially uniquely classic moog filter sound. Thanks for nothing though, Little Lost Long Island Girl.

Electro-Harmonix Micro Synthesizer XO Analog Guitar Microsynth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First and foremost, this is NOT a polyphonic pedal meaning that it only handles single notes. Secondly, do not expect to plug this baby in and be able to know what you're doing right off the bat. There is a fair learning curve that comes with this pedal, but once you understand each parameter, you will have access to hundred of combinations of those parameters and unique, exciting sounds.
The octave section of this pedal features parameters for three octave voices and your original, dry signal. The sub-octave can make your guitar sound very bass-like, but can also break up and become glitchy with lower notes (some guitarists actually prefer the bass microsynth to handle these lower notes). The octave up didn't particularly impress me, but was useful when used with the original, dry signal - don't expect any tycobrahe octavio tones from this. The square wave is VERY synthy and can add a whole mess of nasty to your signal.
Moving down the line of parameters, the attack delay is next. This is a really neat effect that could probably be a single stompbox in its own right. You can get some cool bowed type sounds from this.
Finally, the filter sweep section of the pedals - this section is where things can get really crazy. The start and stop parameters control the frequency where the signal begins and where it ends. With both sliders down, you can get a low-pass filter type of effect. Both sliders fully up will preserve the original frequency throughout without any sweep. The rate control handles how quickly the sound progresses from the start to stop parameters. You can get some cool envelope filter type quacks when this is set lower or some drawn out synthy sweeps when it is fully up.
The two parameters I didn't really touch on are trigger and resonance. One controls the sensitivity that triggers the filter sweep. The other (resonance) can sort of be described as the intensity of the sweep sound.
Bottom line: great pedal with many, many possibilities for the open-minded guitarist.
