Does anybody know what type (brand and part #) Moog uses on the foogers. Also interested in knowing if they use the switched type (ie. with onboard contacts that open or close when a 1/4" plug is inserted.
I was thinking of wiring up a blank panel with all of the 1/4" from 3 foggers that I have in my rack. It would be much cleaner if I could bring all of the jacks out to a main panel (as I’ve seen done on this forum).
If they are switched, I’m guessing that I will need to do some soldering.
Some jacks are not switched for sure. For example the main audio in and outs.
You and easily check this with some basic electronic skills. You will need these skills anyway for this project.
And the brand of the jacks does not matter at all.
Just du the connecting right.
I think I’m confusing pedals. I have a Diamond memory lane II and it completely disconnects the pot from the control (ie. when you insert a cable into the Delay expression pedal jack, the knob does nothing. I think on at least some of the Fooger connections, it’s additive (ie. pot position or resistance + exp pedal).
But I wonder about jacks such as the Tap/Step on the Murf. Not sure if electrically, it senses a connection and then disables the RATE knob or if this is done mechanically based on a jack being inserted or not.
I’m about to re-do my rack so maybe will just pull them from the rack mount and have a look.

There are definitely some foogersockets with normalling. E.g. Ring Mod: Carrier In (normalled to Carrier Out), Phaser: Sweep In, MuRFs, Right Out etc.
If you like, ask on here or PM me when you get stuck into it as I think I’ve already done what you’re planning. I think I put a bit of info on my “Moogertron” post, so maybe search that.
