Moog Music MF101 Moogerfooger Low Pass Envelope Filter Pedal Review

Moog Music MF101 Moogerfooger Low Pass Envelope Filter Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Wow, someone actually wrote as a review "My husband uses this in his band a lot...don't know anything about it...", now I have seen it all. Why would any body think that an endorsement like that could possibly be helpful in any way? Oh great, well if it's good enough for your husband then I'll take TWO!! Holy smokes, what else do you see him using that I might want? Thanks for nothing, luckily anyone else who is looking at this will surely know what this is and it goes without saying it's value and quintessentially uniquely classic moog filter sound. Thanks for nothing though, Little Lost Long Island Girl.

This is the classic Moog filter that changed the sound of electronic music. Reach out and sweep the filter with the CUTOFF knob. Or use the ENVELOPE section to do it automatically. Or plug in one or more expression pedals or control voltages to do it. Or do all three. This is the best-sounding, most playable filter you can have! A 110V power supply is included. What is a Lowpass Filter? A lowpass filter removes high frequencies from a tone. It makes the tone sound more mellow or muted. The lower the cutoff, the more muted the tone sounds. Imagine a window shade. As it is pulled down, it cuts out the higher light, then the light from the middle of the window, then finally all the light. A lowpass filter does the same sort of thing to the sound spectrum. The moogerfooger filter is a direct descendant of the original Moog modular synthesizers. It contains two complete modular functions: a voltage-controlled lowpass filter and an envelope follower. The envelope follower tracks the loudness contour (envelope) of a sound, and produces a voltage that follows the dynamics of your playing. Every time you play a note, the envelope voltage goes up and then down. The harder you play, the higher the envelope voltage goes. The envelope follower opens and closes the lowpass filter. Think of the envelope voltage as an invisible hand that turns the CUTOFF knob up and down every time you play a note. Since the envelope follows the dynamics of your instrument's signal, you actually play the filter as you play your instrument. The moogerfooger filter is also a resonant filter. As you turn up the resonance, the overtones near the cutoff frequency are boosted. Resonance gives the moogerfooger filter the same classic Moog filter sound as the Minimoog and Moog modular synthesizers. The moogerfooger filter's control parameters are signal mix, cutoff frequency, resonance amount, and envelope amount. All of the Lowpas

Electro-Harmonix HOG Synthesizer Review

Electro-Harmonix HOG Synthesizer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just got my HOG today, and although I cant give a thorough review of the product I will give you mi first impressions.
I cant give a thorough review mainly because this is an instrument in itself and will require months of use to master it... perhaps years! I own a Micro Synth and it is far less complicated and it took me a whole year to really get comfortable with it, and I'm still learning new sounds and new techniques each time I use it.
Unlike the Micro Synth this is polyphonic and tracks full chords. However I've found that it tracks 3 strings better, sometimes 6 string chords fart out a little.
Picking chords quickly can also produces some unwanted motor-boating. But with the right setting and the right technique it sounds pretty awesome, and they arent hard to do. I'm not that great of a guitar player and I found it right off.
The expression pedal makes it the most fun of all. Freeze + Gliss being the most notable.
Now I can do away with my crappy Jim Dunlop volume pedal and I dont have to get the EHX Freeze (since this has both functions).
Over all its pretty easy to use and very noob friendly.

Godin Montrea Chambered & Carved 2-Voice Jazz Guitar (Natural HG) Review

Average Reviews:

this guitar has nice tone, very good quality for the price range, if i have to choose between Gibson or Godin, i have to pick this one!!
very jazzy/blues sounds especially if you change the stings to 11 or 12 gauge
the acoustic pickup is very useful, you could balance the sound with both electric and acoustic and produce wide variety color.
I would recommend this guitar to anyone!!
