Description

Elevate your sound with the Moog Moogerfooger MF-101, a legendary analog lowpass filter that promises to transform your musical creations. Celebrated for its lush, organic tones, this pedal is the secret weapon for musicians seeking to add depth and dimension to their guitar or synth setups. The MF-101 is not just a pedal; it's a gateway to sonic exploration. With its eight-octave cutoff frequency range, you can craft anything from mellow, subdued tones to rich, resonant sweeps. The resonance control lets you shape your sound from a smooth lowpass to self-oscillation, offering endless creative possibilities.

Its intuitive interface features rotary controls for Signal Mix, Resonance Amount, and Envelope Amount, while the rocker switches allow for a choice between 2-pole or 4-pole filter settings and select the envelope follower response. Plus, its compatibility with expression pedals and control voltages means you can keep your hands free for other musical tasks. Designed by the iconic Bob Moog, this pedal is a direct descendant of the original Moog modular synthesizers, ensuring an authentic, unadulterated analog experience.

Whether you're working with keys, guitar, bass, or samples, the Moogerfooger MF-101 will redefine your sound palette, offering a pristine filter effect untouched by digital limitations.

Key Features:

  • Cutoff control with an eight-octave range
  • Resonance control for shaping filter response
  • Envelope Amount adjusts input signal envelope sweep
  • Mix control for unfiltered to filtered audio crossfade
  • Drive control for audio input gain
  • Smooth-Fast rocker switch for envelope follower response

    Source
  • The Strymon Deco is suggested as an alternative for those not requiring an envelope follower, offering compression, drive, and tone control for filter-like duties.

    Source
  • Owners suggest an EHX 8-Step combined with the Moog Lowpass filter as an alternative to achieve effects similar to the MuRF.

    Source

User experience

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • A potential hissing issue might be linked to power adapter specs; ensure it's 9V, 300mA, tip positive, and test with different configurations to isolate the problem.

Critic Reviews

Big Briar Moogerfoogers

Moog's Moogerfooger MF-101 Low-pass Filter charms with its classic analog sound and impressive build quality, embodying a modular Moog experience in a stompbox. While praised for its authentic 'Moogy' sound, the lack of a true bypass and its mono-only design might put off some users, especially given its premium price. Still, for those seeking rich harmonic filtering, it's a stellar choice, though one might wish for a more accessible modular design for non-guitarists. Overall, a high-quality, albeit costly, piece of gear for the discerning musician.
