Moog Moogerfooger Lowpass FilterDecember, 2006 The Moogerfooger Lowpass Filter’s wood side-panels may evoke ’70s station wagons, but the sounds are Magic Bus. Fortunately its components are Maserati, since there are lots to fiddle with. The knobs cover an expansive range, which, for bass, is good and bad: It’s less easy to get classic envelope sounds—it lacks a down mode entirely—but it does everything quite well, including wild stuff. I liked starting with the succulent glorps that came from keeping resonance around 7 or 8, and setting cutoff in a quarter-turn range centered around 250Hz. From there, amount gave me a bright-to-dark color range and luscious finger sensitivity. Blending in a dry signal with the mix knob did more than preserve the fundamental; the unaffected bass had its own trippy interaction with the filter glurps. With an expression pedal or another pedal’s envelope-out signal, the back-panel patch bay jacks give even more control over the sonic sauce. DetailsList $279 |
