Anyone know what type of wood is used on the foogers?
I'm trying to pick a stain from nice-racks to match...
Foogerwood?
Re: Foogerwood?
Hmmm, tons of people reading this and no guesses, so I'll guess Walnut.
The grain is too smooth to be Oak and pattern too curvy to be Maple. I don't think Poplar would be used but you never know. Walnut isn't cheap; could be Ash.
The Synth.com cabinets are Walnut so if somebody has one of those expensive cabs next to some foggers, maybe that would yield a clue.

I think the difference in the finish has to do with wood and stain batches. All Moog wood is ash, unless otherwise specified. The old Moog used walnut. The stain is a custom blend only Moog has. Amos said a while back that Minwax makes a stain that comes close, but it's not exactly the same.
Minitaur, CP-251, EHX #1 Echo, EHX Space Drums/Crash Pads, QSC GX-3, Pyramid stereo power amp, Miracle Pianos, Walking Stick ribbon controller, Synthutron.com, 1983 Hammond organ, dot com modular.
One guy who I was trying to get to build me a synth cabinet told me that with a stain, you can't tell the difference between oak and ash. Now Im not a wood man persay but this could be true.
Also, not all of my Fooger cheeks are exactly the same stain.

No thats what I get when I think I might be getting a new Moogerfooger.
Wait I didn't type that....darn evil left hand.
Edit: THe preceeding usually followed immediately by a Moogasm or two which might indicate a problem on many levels.
