Hello guys,
I have just bought the Sub 37. I will be playing only in home. Do you think I need to buy some dustcover? Is it necessary? Can't the moog just be stood on the desk without any covering?

OK great.djkey wrote:I bought it for myself.
But why would I buy it? Leaving the instrument uncovered will make dust come inside? Can it be harmful for the moog itself? or is it just protection against some random incidents like tea-dropping ?
Re: Dustcover / decksaver - do you really need it?
I got it because it protects very well from dust it is also well processed covers well. If you need photos I can make you some!

Thank you, but I do not care about the look I just want to know, if dust can do something wrong to your Moog ?djkey wrote:I got it because it protects very well from dust it is also well processed covers well. If you need photos I can make you some!
Re: Dustcover / decksaver - do you really need it?
Depending on the particulate in your environment, the dust that may settle into your instrument may be conductive or flammable. Will you notice a problem right away? No. Ten years later? Probably not. But it really depends on the environment. In general, dust isn't good for electronics. If you don't cover your Moog, you may need to blow it out years down the line. Not too big of a deal IMO.
When I lived in the desert, electronics would fail constantly in my house because of dust. I covered instruments or kept them in cases when not used. Where I live now doesn't really have much of a dust problem. I should probably cover my instruments... But I don't bother anymore.

Except for the massive filter pot tbe S37 uses sealed potentiometers (knobs). These are not susceptible to dust in normal operating conditions.
Just dust the unit every week or so. I use a feather duster on all my equipment periodically.

I use covers for all equipment
Helps to prolong their lives
A small blanket or so might also do the job

Re: Dustcover / decksaver - do you really need it?
Well I bought a cover for $29.95. Yes it's just a plain black cover but will do the job of protecting a $1,500 investment. I probably will place a patch(cloth/embroidered) on It for artistic flair. I have a few lying around like "Get your kicks on Route 66" and the "Yellow Submarine" from the Beatles, even a small Irish Shamrock. Why Moog doesn't have a label on this dust cover is beyond me but plain black does not have to be boring. Later.
