And then the alarm clock rang and woke you up! Sounds like someone here is trying to sell Taurus 0nes for silly prices & is having no luck. Btw, we pull down $600 - $900 a night, and I could get a lobotomy & still have more grey matter than someone who would sell or pay $5k for a relic. There are some smart folks here, and you are not fooling any of them.
You just love being an asshole, don’t you? 
Well Voltor, every man should have a function in this world, and it looks like we found what Kimbers is!! And I thought we had cleared out the last of them when we finally got rid of your doppleganger…
Well, with many thousands of forum members, they can’t all be helpful supporters of the new Moog Music, right? At least this guy isn’t latching on to a specific member…he hates everyone equally. 
He appears to be latching on to me, but I know if I rubbed some hemmoroid cream on his head, he would simply disappear. Hey, Kimber - hush up - grown folks talking here. On that note, I won’t waste any more space here responding to posts from the new village idiot.
kimber - do you have any pics or documentation on these $5000 Taurus to share with us? That’s great that you made so much. Congrats! What will you do with all that money? that’s a boot of loot! I guess since you fly for free you won’t have to waste on plane fare. tell us about your rig, your gig… i’m interested.
… crickets …
i’m enjoying this 
i wouldn’t buy a set of taurus pedals for $5000 even if i got that kind of cash…
I’m enjoying this, too. Well, I hope the Taurus 3’s sound as good as the Taurus 1’s. Chances are that if Moog sells 1000 of these pedals (which they have not), they will produce more on demand. Right now, we are the guinea pigs for these pedals. If they sound terrible, we are screwed. Sound is subjective, and the Taurus 1’s price will go through the roof. I do hope the Taurus 3’s sound as good or better than the Taurus 1’s. It’s a $2000 gamble, but that’s how you get ahead…knowing what’s going to happen. I think a trip to Moog is a smart idea.
Well, fwiw, I think the Taurus 3’s will sound great, and I’m glad I ordered a set. I love my Voyager, and my LP, but I will be the first to concede that neither of these sound exactly like a Mini, which, if it worked well and was a reasonable price, I would purchase one.
If you can make a killing selling a T-1, I say more power to you. I bought my old Micros and my Prodigy for peanuts back in the day, and then sold them for almost 10x the price years later. None of them sounded quite as good as my LP, let along my Voyager RME. A lot of that old gear is great ie, minis and Taurus 1’s. But it’s easy for people to look into the past with rose coloured glasses with anything analog or old.
I’m confident that Moog will deliver on the T-3’s. They make great gear, and that’s why I chose to make the investment.
i have seen quite a few auctions end untouched in the last 6 months. average price for a T1 set is around $2400/2500 at moment. i bet they dip well below $1995 in the coming months as players with the $$$ and desire to purchase the Taurus sound ponder…
$2500 for a 30+ year old instrument showing some signs of rusting with scratches and a missing variable settings door who’s usage/storage/maintenance/care history i have no knowledge of being sold without case
- OR -
$1995 w/ $495 case for a brand new, feature rich, MIDI’ed, CV’ed, USB’ed, patch storage capable, velocity sensitive, arpeggiator loaded T3
Timmy, the choice is obvious… Not to worry though, Kimber will buy up all of those old relics & sell them to aging rock stars for ridiculous prices!
You forgot to mention the warranty!
You are opinionated and direct and so am I.
If you think ELP were about songs then you completely missed the point. Lucky Man is good but nothing like their best writing. Try listening to Tarkus or Pictures at an Exhibition.
They were one of the pioneers of prog rock and Keith Emerson has more talent in one finger than anyone in Rush (Rush who??)
ELP are not about brainless rock music or pop - they were formed from the best rock musicians in the world at the time.
They can fill stadia everywhere they go - a Megagroup.
Like all good rock bands they are British and have nothing to do with Vegas - shoving knives in Hammonds WAS a gimmick of his at the time but it doesn’t detract he is probably the greatest keyboard player who ever lived, Rick Wakeman included.
Have a nice day!
I have never really listened to Rush but I’m guessing it’s mostly brainless heavy rock.
Recently 500,000 fans turned out in Rome to see a little band called Genesis (have you heard of them in the US…seeing as how parochial you are about monotone US rock music).
Mike Rutherford was using Taurus 1’s when Rush were still in diapers.
Find someone else to insult…you’ve just picked on a couple of hundred million Genesis fans…

Okay this is ridiculous! Don’t hate on Rush. I urge you to search youtube videos for Neil Peart. One of the greatest drummers in Rock. Better than Bonham, not Terry Bozzio but better than Bonham.
My God, if I had known this thread was going to devolve into a “my favorite band is better than yours” war, I never would have started it. Losendoskeys, we all have our favorite musicians, and nobody is right or wrong when it comes to that subject, so how 'bout we get back to discussing TAURUS on the taurus forum (what a concept!). Lets save the “Brittney vs. Gaga” debates for the kiddie forums. No sense in taking jabs at Kimber, he appears to have crawled back under the rock where he came from. As for my original post, you can see on Ebay now that T-1 prices have dipped well below $2000 - as predicted.
Please don’t feed the troll.
I think the prices will go right back up after the new ones have been out for a little while. I think the vintage market will always be there no matter how great the new pedals are. Model D’s are as high as ever.
The first thing I’m going to do when I get my Taurus 3 is to set it and all of my other Moog gear (some Midi some not) and shake the neighborhood with my own rendition of Camera Eye. It just so happens that you like an artist because of their sound and the aforementioned have certainly used heavy Moog products as part of their sound. I had no idea that Sting used Taurus but I suppose a 3-man setup does need a bit more bottom end and texture.
On the subject of made-in-America or not, I was going to buy an American Fender J-Bass when they were re-released a few years ago but I went to the store to find that the finish was crap. I ended up buying a 75’ re-issue (also made in USA) finish was perfect.
I’m not sure the comment about being made in USA by Mexican’s is a fair statement, all companies and shifts have good workers and not so good (off days) workers, it’s QC and ISO that ought to catch the issues.
Good companies have pride, well engineered products and high standards; bad companies outsource jobs and have no QC (ie. the depend on a ramshackle ← ‘technical term’ job shop in China, Indonesia, Singapore, Mexico, or elsewhere to do something at the lowest cost, then they ship sh!t, assemble it and off it goes to Walmart.)
Moog is a quality company and though I do see postings of issues now and then, I believe there stuff is well engineered, manufactured, assembled with pride. Ultimately they may end up using some parts which are not made in the USA. That’s life, that’s business. Given the choice between having a product with some components NOT made here or getting driven out of business by a bad economy or fierce competition; which do you choose?
