Description

Step into a world of unparalleled sonic exploration with the Moog Moogerfooger MF-105 MuRF. Designed for musicians who crave innovation, this Multiple Resonance Filter Array redefines what's possible with a filter effects pedal. Whether you're sculpting sounds for guitar, bass, or synth, the MuRF offers you 8 animated resonant filters to craft your own auditory landscape. The intuitive interface allows you to adjust pattern rates and rhythmic variations with ease, making it adaptable for both live performances and studio sessions.

What sets the MuRF apart is its ability to animate the levels of its filters in up to 24 unique preset patterns. This isn't just a pedal—it's a performance tool. From percolating techno rhythms to shimmering, evolving soundscapes, the MuRF gives you the power to shape your sound dynamically. Control the modulation envelope to suit your musical style, and take advantage of the tap tempo input to sync your effects with precision.

Built with Moog's legendary attention to quality, the MuRF's all-analog design ensures a warm, rich sound that can handle any line or instrument-level input. With robust components designed to withstand the rigors of the stage, and an iconic Moogerfooger double-wedge enclosure, this pedal is as enduring as it is innovative.

Key Features:

  • 8 animated resonant filters
  • Adjustable pattern rates and rhythmic variations
  • Tap tempo input for syncing effects
  • Compatible with expression pedals and control voltages
