Moog MF-104M Moogerfooger Analog Delay

Product Description

The Moog MF-104M Moogerfooger Analog Delay is a limited reissue of the class MF-104 delay, featuring the same sought-after bucket brigade analog sound with added functionality! Originally designed by Bob Moog, the classic MF-104 analog delay became one of the most sought after delays on the planet. There were only 1000 units available worldwide due to the limited availability of its signature “Bucket Brigade” chip which kept the delay 100% analog. Since the classic MF-104 has been off the market there has been two reissues which included the MF-104Z and MF-104SD, both delays added some extra features to the classic delay but also sold out quickly due to the limited availability of the bucket brigade chips.

The MF-104M utilizes the same vintage “bucket brigade” delay chips used in the older models and also includes some of the expanded features of the reissued pedals. The Spillover delay mode is now part of the MF-104M which allows the delay trails to end or continue when you disengage the delay.

Select between short and long delay time to get up to 800ms of pure analog delay, adjustable through the TIME control. Dial in the number of repeats through the FEEDBACK control in the delay section, and listen as the delay trails modulate slightly with each repeat.

Add a bit of gain and bite to the delay trails with the DRIVE control. Use subtly for a warm and creamy delay, or full tilt for expansive oversaturated trails.

Control the blend between the wet and dry signal with the MIX control, then set the ideal signal level to your amp, modular synth or recording interface with the OUTPUT LEVEL control.

Expand the sonic quality and depth of the delay trails with the six selectable LFOs. Choose between sine wave, triangle, square, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth and a randomized step feature. Change the speed of the LFOs response to the input signal with the RATE control, then dial in the perfect blend using the AMOUNT dial. Unlike most 100% analog delays, the MF-104M has the ability for tap tempo to easily sync the delays and LFO rate to the BPM of a song or quickly adjust to time changes in a live setting.

The addition of MIDI can be used to control and manipulate every function of the MF-104M, a perfect way to incorporate analog delay into your studio productions or have perfectly locked delay trails while playing to backing tracks.

Manipulate time, rate, feedback, amount and mix by adding a Moog EP2 expression pedal to the rear panel CV/Expression inputs. You can also connect additional Moogerfoogers or your favorite stompboxes and outboard effects through the Feedback insert for expanded creativity and sound design options.

Since the “bucket brigade” chips are in such scarce supply, make sure to grab this classic pedal before it’s too late!

LEDs and Switches

• TIME LED: The LED is Red when controlled by the Time knob, and Green when controlled by Tap Tempo
• LEVEL LED: Bi-Color LED displays input signal for optimum processing level
• BYPASS LED: When the effect is on the Bypass LED is green, when in Spillover mode the Bypass LED is orange. When the effect is off the Bypass LED is red
• RATE LED: Indicates both the Rate and Waveform LFO settings. The LED is Red when the Rate is set from the front panel, Green when set by Tap Tempo, and Orange when the LFO is synced to MIDI clock. Note: When synced to MIDI clock, the Rate control is quantized to select only rhythmic subdivisions of the MIDI clock tempo
• TAP TEMPO: Tap Tempo control assignable to Delay Time or LFO Rate by holding down the switch - time LED or Rate LED will flash Green to indicate Tap Tempo assignment
• SPILLOVER MODE: Press and hold Bypass to engage/disengage Spillover Mode

Rear Panel

• AUDIO IN: 1/4” TS jack that accepts any instrument level to line level audio signal
• MIX OUT: 1/4” TS jack with adjustable output level for instrument or line level output
• DELAY OUT: 1/4” TS jack that supplies wet-only output
• FEEDBACK, TIME, LFO RATE, MIX, LFO AMOUNT: All are 1/4” TRS jacks that accept Moog EP-2 (or equivalent) expression pedals, or 0-5VDC control voltages from either two-circuit (TS) or three-circuit (TRS) 1/4” jacks
• FEEDBACK INSERT: 1/4” TRS jack for inserting effects on the feedback loop of the Delay Line - supplies line-level output
• MIDI IN: 5 Pin DIN input for controlling the MF-104M via MIDI
• +9VDC POWER JACK: Accepts standard 9 volt center positive barrel power adaptor (power adaptor included) - 400mA minimum required
