Anyone have an MF-108M

[aaronharmon]

What are your thoughts on this pedal? Is it a worthy investment?

[Mr Shave]

I love my 108M! I have just started exploring the stereo output features, and on headphones, it makes whatever you plug into it sound amazing! I think the biggest issue with it, and I think most everyone on this forum would agree, is that drastic omission of LFO CV Output... Why would moog make a true MIDI synced LFO and not include a CV output for it? Gahhh!!

It is pricey though... but what from moog isnt?

The 108M is a great pedal. The variable waveform LFO enables effects that no other pedals can do. The lack of LFO CV output is a bummer but not a dealbreaker for this Mooger IMHO. Nothing sounds as good as those BBD chips.

I also have a Roger Mayer VoodooVibe and a FoxRox Paradox and while those are really solid and great sounding pedals the 108M puts them to shame for sheer versatility. The 108M does everything from classic subtle flanging and chorus all the way to self-oscillating feedback that can mangle your signal beyond recognition, especially using the random waveform.

Yes I was VERY dissapointed that there wasn't an LFO output. I naturally assumed there would be. There HAS to be a way to mod it.

[aaronharmon]

So you want CV out on the LFO to control other effects? Is that correct? I am a guitarist so these added controls are a little foreign to me.

I was a bit let down there wasnt LFO out, but to be fair like most of the other ones do, so its not even a big deal.

The mf108 is really sweet. Def worth having than most of them.

[Mr Shave]

If the LFO was an analog, un-syncable to MIDI LFO, then I wouldnt have minded there being no LFO output... But seeing how its midi syncable, it seems to me that its a HUGE omission on Moog's part... It would have increased the value, in my opinion, of the 108. You could use that to replace the LFO on the ring mod, which would then make it in sync to my DAW, or to the cutoff of the 101, or anything...

I'm sure there is a way to mod the unit, but every time i pop open the back, I realize that its way beyond my skill level and I put the thing back together.

[aaronharmon]

Well, i bought one. We'll see. I'm pretty excited about it. Can anyone point me to a video or two that really demonstrates what you can do with Midi on this and/or the MuRf. I have tried to find them, but I haven't found a really good one yet

[aaronharmon]

It should be here Thursday. Super excited to play with it!

[vasago]

Dude its one of the sweetest effects you could get.

Here are two really shitty tracks I did with just the mf108 and a tr808

They suck, but I only keep them posted to explain how effing awesome the mf108(edit accidentally said 808) is.

The biggy for me with no LFO out is not so much the midi sync, but access to all those LFO shapes - no other bit of my kit has ramps, and I love the ramp lfo into the filter cut off: it was my staple when I was carrying a SH-5 to gigs, but that's long gone.

What I use it for as well as chorus/flange stuff is a reverb effect, adding depth, an whats really cool, is twisting the time know every noe and then, so you get a bit of rawkus sound till the feedback catches up. I don't even like chorus/flange as a rule, especially on guitar, but it is a great little box.

Check out the Moot Booxle video of sounds he made using a keyboard to midi in playing the self oscilating feedback - that stuff is great too.

I bought one today, cant wait for it to arrive!

[nectarios]

Stellar sound with the pros of MIDI editing. A great combination to my SP which I can also automate via MIDI and record any patch twice for true stereo(instead of using the out pf phase second output). Very handy alternate overdrive tone as well when I use it with the mix to 0% for that MF overdrive. I use it like there is no tomorrow.

Peace out.

Just got mine a half hour ago. Running with my Adamas/AC-60 combo is sounds pretty thick. I really like it. I wish I had an all tube acoustic amp. I'll run in it through my Randall RM100 later on. That has 12AX7s prees and Yellow Jackets in the power tube section. It sounds pretty sweet.

[BHC303]

Mine arrived last night It's nice, but god it is noisy!

I am trying to clock this thing via ableton .,. any tips welcome!
