Moogerfooger MuRF

I'm seriously considering dropping some cash on one of these - they sound way cool. It's either that or the lowpass filter. Anyone got any experience with either of them?

No, but I've heard they are amazing.  I really want one.

I have the Low-Pass Filter.

To be honest, it's okay okay.  It's been sitting on top of my Wurlitzer Piano for a while now.

I guess I just never got the hang of getting "usable" sounds out of it.

I have a MuRF and I love it.  It has it's down-sides like not cutting through a mix or overpowering your amp, but there's no other effect like it and it just sounds so cool.  I have to admit, it's really hard to justify the money for an effect that I don't think gets used very much, but when you're playing alone tripping out to your effects board, you'll be glad you have one.

idiotbear, I can get you in touch with somebody who could possibly sell you a used one for $215usd, if you want.

that's a great deal.. I'd jump on it if you can!

I had one when they first came out and loved it, I never found much use for it within my band at the time but that was more due to the direction they were going. I helped a friend out with some songs and got a lot of use out of it.. it'd be even more useful as a studio tool, I plan on getting one again someday to run all sorts of tracks through  :?  :-*

I'm sorry, i've just been really excited that he's interested in my offer, i didn't think he would be. So now i've been sitting here all day listen to sound clips getting stoked. but if it falls through then by all means tell idiotbear

$215 is an incredible price. However....

1) I don't want to get in the way of anyone else's deal  :-\
2) I imagine offers should be made on the "For Sale or Trade", no?

:-[ I'm sorry if i sounded like a jerk , also like i said i made the offer and he said "i can easily see myself taking you up on this offer."

Oh it's on another forum that me and SteveO are both on, although he posts there alot more than I do.

again sorry if i sounded like a jerk.

i owned the murf for a while.

awesome pedal. cool tones.  tap tempo is a cool feature.

but.....
the trick can wear out quick.

semi limited use on a pedal board. studio is another store.

$300-400 for a limited use pedal is why i sold it......and i am a gear whore, i tend to keep everything.

I'd like the Moog Analog delay,12 stage phaser and murf please :?
I don't see Moog as that expensive,i mean i buy Tech21 and they aren't cheap either.  I figure you get what you pay for.......Behringer phaser or Moog phaser? I see boutique fuzz pedals for US$300 so whats $700 for Moog next to that? :)
But.....it's not very often i could afford a Moog product either :(

This is kinda irrelevant to this thread, but if you use an expression pedal with the Low Pass Filter, does it effectively act as a wah-wah pedal?
