I've read a lot about the slew rate mod and the various things that people have tried to get a bit more grit and top end out of their voyagers, often trying to approximate the sound of a model D.
I've heard of people recommending behringer or bbe sonic maximizer pedals, or something like a germanium drive pedal in the effects loop.
For a similar effect, has anyone tried the Minifooger drive? It seems like it might be a good candidate to squeeze a bit more tone out of the voyager, and possibly to add a bit of overdrive if you hit the filters hard enough with it. Would be cool to know what people thought...
Anyone tried MF boost to make Voy more aggressive?

Yes, I am currently using the MF Boost and MF107 in the insert loop, and it sounds amazing!

Other good choices if you have a modular; STG soundlabs mixer (based on the original Moog modular mixer) or wavefolder, or the synthesizers.com instrument interface (adds up to 1000x gain!)
My modular so far: Q104, Q106 x2, Q107, Q108, Q109 x2 , Q116, Q118, Q127 w/Q140, Q130, STG Wave Folder, Mixer and Mankato playing with Moog Voyager, VX-351, CP-251, MF-104M x2 ( STEREO!) Volca Beats and Bass, Arturia Beat step

+1 for the STG mixer. Been using it as an insert effect for a long time and it definitely adds character to the Voyager.ColorForm2113 wrote:Other good choices if you have a modular; STG soundlabs mixer (based on the original Moog modular mixer) or wavefolder, or the synthesizers.com instrument interface (adds up to 1000x gain!)

Hello...new poster here. Just currently using the MF Boost in the Voyager insert. Sounds great and certainly adds a little something extra. I've never enjoyed the sound of a single triangle waveform quite this much. I can't go back now!
