Recently sold my Sub 37 in favor of an Voyager RME but I miss the multidrive circuit so much. It really beefed up everything without destroying the sound. What would you recommend for me taking this into consideration?

MF Drive pedal is really nice...but, the MF-102 Ring mod will give you a lot of mileage with CV and it's overdrive is awesome.

The obvious, keep the RME and get another Sub37.

I put an MF Boost and a FreqBox in the Mixer Out/Filter In insert point and it rocks the house!

I had a ring, a delay and a cluster flux before and the drive they gave sounded the same so I guess it doesn´t matter which Moogerfooger you use. They sounded great but are a bit too pricey these days. I guess a ring would be the best pedal for expanding the sound possibilities.

You might be correct. But anyway, I find the drive on the minifoogers different from the one on the moogerfoogers and using one of each seems to be more versatile. IMHO, that is...

Minifooger Delay has a very nice sounding overdrive, but pushing it past 10:00 will create a bleed of the delay signal, even at 0% mix (something to consider). I run the Sub37 and the Slim Phatty through their own MF Delay units, and have them ON almost 100% of the time, and with Drive set around 12:00. Yeah, Baby!

Minifooger Drive has a very wide range of OD tones inside the dials, almost any guitar tone you'd ever want. Sweeping the filter with an EP pedal is the sweep spot for me. But, if you plan to use it with a synth, there is a significant high-end roll off to this pedal. Not a consideration for guitar use, but you will hear it on a synth. Sometimes, I'll use one with an Arturia MicroBrute and make use of its CV controls to modulate the MF Drive filter.

I just got the MF Boost yesterday to insert into my XL, and it is a sweet little boost. The two different methods for boosting the signal produce an exquisitely clean sound, very pure in tone. You can then shape the tone via the included 6db filter (tone knob).

I'd like to try the MF Drive next, but think that you'd get great mileage by starting with a little (or a lot) of Boost in the signal chain.

After many experimentations, I had the best results with a BBE Sonic Stomp, but that was before the minifoogers were released.

I always end up boosting the highs on Moog synths so the MF Boost might be nice. It sounded clean without destroying the sound as heard in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFrsUsWWHng

The MF Drive broke the sound up more but sounded equally cool though!

Yeah, the MF Drive seems like it would be a great way to get an effect similar to the Sub 37's Multidrive.

The MF Drive in the video smashed the sound compared to multidrive on the Sub Phatty & Sub 37, but that could have something to do with gain staging!

Yes dear, Moog's gain circuit is an underdog, it rocks the house like no other!

I tried the mf-drive with my voyager and minitaur and it works but I don't think it
Sounds like multi drive at all really. It takes away too much top end.
What I have been doing is using an old Boss Km series mixer in the loop, or after the voyager. The multi drive is pre and post filter though, right?

I'm impressed with the Mantic Vitriol with Moog synths.
