Moogerfooger

moogerfooger is the trademark for a series of analog effects pedals manufactured by Moog Music. There are currently five different pedals produced, however one of these models is designed for processing control voltages rather than audio signal. A sixth model, the Analog Delay, was released in a limited edition of 1000 units and has become a collector's item.

Audio moogerfoogers consist of a black wedge-shaped box, approximately 5 inches by 9 inches, with walnut edges. The face contains an array of knobs, switches and LEDs. All moogerfoogers have a knob that allows the user to fade the effect from a completely dry to a completely wet signal. There is also a stomp switch that allows the user to toggle the effect on and off and a knob that controls the gain. True to the nature of modular synthesizers, all parameters on the pedals are variable using control voltages which may be plugged into the rear of the pedal using 1/4" jacks.

moogerfoogers are assembled by hand in Asheville, NC and represent a limited supply of completely analog electronic music equipment that is currently manufactured anywhere. The capabilities, flexibility and unpredictable nature of moogerfooger pedals are not like anything that is possible with digital effects. As such, moogerfoogers are valued by musicians for their unique and expressive qualities.

In 2000, digital effects recording studio Bomb Factory worked with Bob Moog to develop music plug-ins for Pro Tools based on the MF-101, MF-102, MF-103, and MF-104. The plug-ins allowed the user to replicate the effects of the moogerfoogers while editing digital audio on their computer.
