MF-104M Discontinued?
Re: MF-104M Discontinued?
I hear there's a landfill full of chips right next to the Atari E.T. site ...
Actually I panic bought a 104 3 years ago because they were "limited" & the original version actually was limited.
then I panic bought a Clusterflux a month later because it was also limited.
I'll get my Sub 37 Tribute Edition in 2 weeks. (also Limited)

As far as I know, all other products from Moog which use BBDs don't use exactly the same chip.didlisquat wrote:Does the Clusterflux use some of the same chips as the MF~104M ?

From the moog page for the Clusterflux:
More than just a simple Chorus/Flange pedal, the Cluster Flux is the ultimate time modulation pedal! From subtle swirling to complete insanity, the Cluster Flux defies the laws of time and space. This limited edition 100% analog Moogerfooger features a Bucket Brigade Chip based delay line that oozes vibe and tone. Like all Moogerfoogers, it’s built like a tank for a lifetime of use.

"the design includes high voltage mn3007 bbd's for their superior headroom and excellent signal to noise ratio."

Re: MF-104M Discontinued?
Beside that, the Clusterflux is way too noisy to be digital.
...maybe 80s digital.....

Re: MF-104M Discontinued?
I have a question that is probably stupid but that's never stopped me - why can't more bucket brigade chips be manufactured?

Re: MF-104M Discontinued?
They can. But, since their primary application is for delaying audio while corrupting it in a pleasing way, it is not useful for the vast majority of modern consumer and commercial electronic devices. So, the price to make them is not offset by massive volume.hieronymous wrote:I have a question that is probably stupid but that's never stopped me - why can't more bucket brigade chips be manufactured?

Re: MF-104M Discontinued?
Thanks! I guess I should have figured that it wasn't cost-effective, even cost-prohibitive. Maybe some analog-loving billionaire would be willing to fund such a project?_DemonDan_ wrote:They can.

And maybe I shouldn't have asked at all - it was more romantic having a vision of some mystical element that no longer exists or something like that...
Re: MF-104M Discontinued?
It would be way more mystical to think they were made out of long extinct faerie tears or something. I think it just comes down to Panasonic (or whoever) doesn't see a profit motive in it anymore.hieronymous wrote:And maybe I shouldn't have asked at all - it was more romantic having a vision of some mystical element that no longer exists or something like that...

Re: MF-104M Discontinued?
Nice! I've been looking at the BigSky for a while! What a wicked little box! As soon as I recover from my 'fooger splurge, I'm hitting that next...unless Moog offers a reverb alternative, of course *cough, hint, cough*GregVDS wrote:I just got the 104M sn 3977 from KeyMusic Brussels, Belgium .

Re: MF-104M Discontinued?
I had to verify, as I couldn't find any DIP components in my MF108M.c7sus wrote:http://www.analoguehaven.com/moog/mf108m/MC wrote:Clusterflux is digital delay based, but does not use BBDs.didlisquat wrote:Does the Clusterflux use some of the same chips as the MF~104M ?

Then I spotted pads for DIP8 components. They are on the opposite side of the board!
You have to disassemble the thing to get to them, but there is indeed an MN3007 and MN3009 BBD in the MF108M.

What about the 500 series? Nothing about its suspension.
