The 102 was my first Fooger as well.

It sounds great!!

Did you try it on the LOW frequency setting?

Very cool pedal.

Thanks all. I've just about made up my mind.

Does anyone have any non-guitar MF-102 clips I can hear? I really like the digital piano one on the Moog site, but I'd like to hear more of this bad boy in action.

I know it's not much and at the risk of tooting my own RM, check out the sample of the tune "Latitude" here: http://virb.com/blipfool

The solo that you hear is a Voyager patch using the RM and other effects. The patch was not near as gritty without it. You can hear the high frequencies/harmonics dominating especially when the filter opens up with keyboard velocity. As I've said before, I like using the RM to add a little grit to a sound without making it too inharmonic sounding.

In fact, you can hear a much longer sample of the same tune (the first 2 minutes) at http://cdbaby.com/cd/blipfool but it's much lower quality. The full solo starts after the head and the CD Baby version has the ENTIRE solo...so that might be a better place to listen.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. Very helpful, I too am more interested in adding grit rather than chaos.

I'm on vacation the week after next. I think I'm going to pick up the 102 then.

Cheers for all of your help!

BTW, I think you had a drum machine on your FreqBox demos. Have you ever tried running it through the 102 using just the drive to give it more crunch. This is something I've been wondering about.

Although I can't remember 100% I want to say from listening to it that the RX11 sample starts dry then when the FB kicks in it just has some drive on it before I started turning other knobs. I tend to leave the drive at about 50% many times.
