Features and functionality

  • The Mini V3 achieves a classic Moog sound by using an overdriven saw wave with a Moog ladder filter set around 500Hz.

Use cases and applications

  • Achieving Snarky Puppy's "Binky" or Dr. Dre's signature bass sound requires quick envelopes on the filter and amp for that distinct Moog phatty effect.
