MoogerFoogers need a face lift.

[Cenydd Ros]

Something else I would like from Moog:

I would like rack mount MoogerFoogers.
Flat panel face.
Jack inputs/outputs on the face just below the knobs.
Replace the foot switch with a toggle switch.

I'll never use MoogerFoogers as actual pedals. If I did want them for this, I'd buy them in that configuration, but what I want them for would have them better suited in a rack.

This isn't something that is very hard to do. It is a simple job of re-casing the product and supplementing one switch for another. Easy to do - and would be a great help to those of us that would rather have our MoogerFoogers in a cabinet than on the floor, getting dusty.

You could create a custom rack panel to go above or below the Moogerfoogers by using a standard panel spacer. It would be incredibly simple to install 1/4" female jacks on the panel and solder them to cables with 1/4" male jacks that plug into the foogers.

Yes, in fact it's easier for you to rackmount your Foogers than it is for Moog to do it for you.

Unfortunately, patchbay wiring for the MoogerFoogers is a bit more involved than just running jumper cables...

Easy?

You have obviously never set eyes inside a MF pedal.

One row of jacks is soldered right to the circuit board, the other connected via a ribbon cable. It would take a redesign of the circuit board to move the jacks to the front of the panel, dragging other associated components with them. As an EE who has been involved in circuit board design, this is not "easy". Circuit board design minimizes interference and instability between surrounding components. Move those components around and you risk many problems.

This would now require TWO circuit boards, one for the pedal format and one for front panel. Moog is not going to drop the pedal format. It costs more money to have two circuit boards because you lose the quantity pricing and the board stuffers won't reprogram for the new board for nothing.

This isn't something that is very hard to do.

Famous last words. If I had a nickel everytime some armchair expert said that, I'd be rich.

Actually, I'm an automotive technician (and autos are really rather complex machines these days), and am currently going to night college to get a degree in electrical engineering. But, hey.

What I suggested is easy, because nothing on the interior of the MF would really need to be changed. The only changes would be to the case - and replacing one on/off switch with another. I can do it myself, but would have to fabricate a faceplate, and void any warranty on my pedals in the process. Would rather have Moog do it for me.
