The Moog MF-101 Lowpass Filter pedal is an award-winning effect designed by Bob Moog.
The Moog MF-101 pedal contains the legendary Moog filter as well as an envelope follower for dynamic-controlled filter sweeps. Used with Bass, Guitar, Keys, Samples, or recorded tracks, the MF-101 is ready to be tweaked for classic Moog filter effects.
The award-winning MF-101 Lowpass 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. It can be used with any instrument-level to line level-signal.
Moog MF-101 main features include:
CUTOFF rotary control, which varies the filter's cutoff frequency over an eight-octave range.
RESONANCE rotary control, which varies the shape of the filter's response, from pure lowpass to actual oscillation.
ENVELOPE AMOUNT rotary control, which adjusts the amount that the input signal's envelope sweeps the filter cutoff frequency.
MIX rotary control, which crossfades continuously from unfiltered to filtered audio.
DRIVE rotary control, which adjusts the gain of the audio input.
SMOOTH-FAST rocker switch, which chooses between smooth and fast envelope follower response.
2-POLE 4-POLE rocker switch, which chooses between 2-pole (bright) and 4-pole (deep) filter frequency response.
LEVEL, a three-color LED that is used to set the DRIVE control.
ENV, a LED that indicates the strength of the envelope voltage.
BYPASS, a two-color LED that tells whether the filter is on or bypassed.
ON/BYPASS, a rugged, smooth-acting stomp switch.
AUDIO IN 1/4" phone jack - accepts any instrument-level or line-level audio signal from -16 dBm to +4 dbm.
AUDIO OUT 1/4" phone jack - -4 dBm nominal output level.
CUTOFF, RESONANCE, AMOUNT, MIX, all of which are stereo 1/4" jacks that accept moogerfooger EP1 (or equivalent) expression pedals, or control voltages from either two-circuit or three-circuit 1/4" jacks.
ENVELOPE OUT jack - delivers the Envelope Control voltage for use by other voltage-controlled devices.
+9V POWER INPUT jack
CASE: Black panel with hardwood sides - classic analog appearance.
Smooth, fat , warm-yet still lively and responsive...like me after dinner and drinks, but before dessert. A phenomenal way to achieve lovely electric guitar and bass tones, and practically indispensable for any analog synth enthusiasts. Once it enters your signal path you will likely never remove it.
Can’t fault build quality or features other than a master volume would be nice as well as the drive feature to not suffer from volume drop when the pedal is engaged. Definitely not a plug-in and go type of pedal but once you have an idea of how the knobs interact with each other the possibilities are vast four sounds! Great product that I would highly recommend to anybody interested in these effects.
I took the opportunity to grab one of the last Moogerfoogers to be made. I also got the 103 Ring Mod and 102 Phaser but missed out on the elusive 104 Delay (maybe an el Capistan might be a good alternative). Anyway they are built like the proverbial out-house and the sound is magnificent. I'm putting my Juno 60 and Model D through them - it's a lot of fun and although not in the modular league great for experimenting. Thanks to Hainbach for the Phaser drums idea. I recommend you grab a filter while you still can!
