Moog Music Forum

I can offer one interesting Moog that I owned and bought brand new.
A Polymoog. Cost about $4500 in 1980.

Can you tell me anything about your Custom Minimoog Modular?

Which patch points did you wire in?

Posted this in an earlier thread:

I added mostly inputs to individual osc, sync, PWM. Pics in the link.

I think MC "wins".

Thanks Terry/CZ Rider. I actually came across your Minimotm page separately awhile back. Totally impressive.

Did you have to buffer any of the inputs, or just tap right in?

Hieronymous - yeah it's the big old Moog 1120 Voltage Pedal like Eric has listed. It was fun to run across in an old music store during the analog dead days.

MF-107 (still waiting for preorder)

Little Phatty Tribute Edition

the picture on the left is rather old, before i got the LP and some other dynamics/analog seq/effects stuff.

i will probably trade up for the voyager at some point, although if the 107 is as useful as we're all hoping, i might not need to

Thanks! Its a really fun rig for experimentation. 2 oscs, 1 LPF, 2 ARs (using the lag processors), and gating effect is created through the use of the mix knob on the mf-105. tons and tons of lfos and modulation routing too of course. with the addition of th 107 and the little phatty/voyager, the reality of a new moog modular is really getting there.

I have 2 of these older Moog Voltage rocker-pedals. One is alot nicer than the other, though. They made two versions, and I have one of each. One is alot better built than the other.

If anyone is looking for one of these, I've found that they actually come up for auction quite frequently on e-bay. I bought both of mine in the past year for around $30 each (although sometimes they go as high as $150-- many other times no one even bids, and they end up selling for the starting price). They sell VERY inexpensively if the Moog logo has fallen off-- although both of mine still have the logo.

What is the difference between the vintage pedals and the new ones created for controlling the Moogerfoogers?

I'd take a guess that maybe the new ones are just passive components and the old ones actually output a dc voltage derived from a battery. Is this guess even in the ballpark?
Thanks

EEG - the old pedal gets its voltage from a battery and uses a regular 1/4" cord to connect to a CV in.
The new pedals derive power from the control unit through a TRS 1/4" input.

Eric - what is the quality difference between your two pedals? Mine is nicely built, but I don't know if it's the best built or not.

They're both good-- obviously they've lasted this long and still function perfectly. This is not a small thing considering that they've likely been knocked about on the floor their whole lives. I sort of doubt the contemporary Moog expression pedals will prove to be this durable.

But, of the older ones, one is made of a very rigid plastic molding, and is more rounded looking; The other is made entirely of die-cast metal and is more squared-off looking. The metal one is both better built and also looks nicer. I think the metal 1120 also has an auxillary voltage output--this might not be present on the molded plastic 1120. However, the plastic one has a DC power input, I believe.

That's mainly the difference.

The momentary switch pedal (1121, I think is the number) is also made of die-cast metal, and is also very well built. These also come up relatively often and sell for a fair price. Not everyone uses them, I guess--- but I use all of my synths in live performance-- so I like to have these pedals.[/i]

i've owned an opus 3, source & sonic six but currently only own an mg-1 and the murf moogerfooger. i apparently have to liquidate to try different models... haha

moog player in my band just ordered the LP stage. i plan on getting one for the house too.
