I have a Moogerfooger MF-101 Low Pass Filter that has only been used once. I bought it a few months ago and it’s just sitting in the box. I’d like to see if somebody would be interested in a trade plus cash for a MF-105M Midi Murf. I prefer to skip eBay and paypal fees whenever I can. I have plenty of “other forum” sales references and can send you my eBay username. Looking to keep it in the US.
Shouldn’t you try it out a little more before you discard it? The murf is a cool effect, but the filter is one of the greatest musical creations in history.
Thanks for your concern, but I am more interested in the Midi Murf for guitar.
You are making a mistake. I don’t have a guitar, but do use the 101 with a hohner clavinet, and it is unreal how amazing it sounds, especially with a delay.
Would you be interested in a MF-105 non-MIDI?

Thanks Stephen, but I just finished completing midi integration into my pedalboard to create patches for all of my effects. The midi side is one of the reasons it will be very useful for me.
Are you sure you know what you are doing?
So this thread has been on my mind all day. Sorry, not because I want to trade - I have both and use both for guitar & bass. I love them both too and want to share my experience / opinion.
At first I was going to encourage you to keep it an buy an 8-step program for midi presets and sync’d filter animation. The low pass is a staple. You could leave it on all the time. No MIDI. The 8-step program would work well with your midi rig to get you some really great sounds, and sync’d preset switching. Really awesome combo! Really.
But the MuRF has lots of potential - if you plan your animation and signal path to accommodate it. The stereo ability is great for fitting into a mix, but when off, the signal can become cumbersome. The drive, EQ presets and envelope + LFO / sweep ability opens up awesome potential for sounds not executed before. Presets will be cumbersome, but you have that figured out already.
So my 2cents is that in the studio, MuRF is awesome. Live with some hard work up front it could be really fun. I always found it hard to use in a jam without extra effort besides playing the guitar, rather unnatural. The filter is so damned flexible, musical and easy to use that your choice is being questioned. The filter will always be in my live rig and in my studio. The MuRF will always be in my studio and sometimes out for jams.
Looking forward to hearing your experience with it. You can always get the filter back if you get tired of programming.
Thanks for the input guys.
I can always grab another low pass if the need comes up. There are quite a few sites that allow the easy payments options that make it a simple thing for me.
I literally have $4500 worth of effects pedals pedals right now and I need to keep myself under control. I am very aware of what I’m doing. I have the Delay, ClusterFlux, Phaser and CP-215 on my board. Only one space left for a fooger and I want to try the Murf. I can use the filter on my MF Drive with an expression pedal to get any filter sweeps that I’d need. I wanted to use the low pass in the loop of my delay to help it blend more, but the bright/dark adjustments using midi does the trick I was looking for. With the addition of the GigRig Midi 14, I don’t have to worry about bypassing or signal degradation. I use a stereo guitar rig and am excited to try more stereo effects. I also have a midi processor on my board that accepts PCs from the GigRig and sends CC presets to all of my pedals. I can easily create these presets using MIDI Designer on the fly during rehearsal.
For my studio, I have a set of 8 high and low pass filters in my rack along with a nice pair of Neve 1073 EQ clones. I also have the UA Moog plugins if I want to use digital.
Trade pending.
