All user reviews for the Moog Music MF-103 12-Stage Phaser

Very good phaser that can do more than phasing.
Let the LFO to zero + toy on the drive, the sound comes out much richer and if you push a little saturation to the moog appointment.
We also sometimes have a limit ring modulator hands (See Opinion Tina Arkos).

2 levels of floors 6/12 are nice even if my taste phaser used in 12 floors gives sounds (a bit!) More drafts. The 6 floors is just excellent ...

Full connectivity.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use. Manual not lousy.

SOUND QUALITY

From classical to sound distorted and abused, everyone finds are considered. Behind the LP2 tested and Minibrute, this cause!
The sound is beautiful, there is bold, organic bass and takes its real dimension when attacks groundwater simplissimes departure. All is well detailed in other reviews.

Just the same gripe about "breath" (see some opinions). Even with this cable good enough ...

OVERALL OPINION

I am very happy with this pedal, even if I use recently!
Ok, it's not cheap but it is the kind of pedal that I do not divide them, so long as it is good and it still takes the road in a few years ...

Purchase I remake without hesitation!

The Phaser Mooger Fooger as the name suggests is a phaser but not only!
With settings that go well, you get very fast synth sounds very, very Moog so. Genre Octaver, Ring Modulator.
The essential parameters of a good phaser are present: Effect level, LFO rate (ultra high speed never seen before on other phaser to the ring modulator described before), Sweep (displacement in the frequency range) and the resonance . Two types of phaser 6 and 12 storeys though effective.
Connectivity is no exception: stereo output using the auxiliary output, possibility to control all parameters via four expression pedals.

UTILIZATION

Manual in English but with some very specific presets that give the basics.

SOUND QUALITY

Let the sound! Those who enjoy absolute transparency without altering the original sound will go their way. The Moog said input color, we are here to hear the effect, not to knit! So slight emphasis on the bottom and lower midrange, but that's personal qu'j'aime this color with this beautiful organic phasing good and very hot unlike other very cold very "clinical". Send more soon qu'tu with overdrive is a real treat!
Good settings are readily available but we will spend time chiader so the range of possibilities is endless! It goes from very light phaser to more eccentric passing by "Vibe" sympatic well phase-wha effects and ring modulator octaver described above. Short! With my Boss CE-1 and my home VoodooVibe RM I completed my range of effects but none turns walking on the toes of the other!

OVERALL OPINION

I have not yet explored all the possibilities of bestiasse but I can already do without it! In short list I had left: the MXR reissue of 74, the Phaser RedWitch MoonLight I could try at the same time and frankly I have not needed to get out the camera!
I was afraid that the components more "cheap" are the latest versions but not break the myth! Mr Robert Moog is still with us! And that's good!
To quote Mr. "décafinato" is "Moog" if not "What else?"
Who said "MU-TRON" at the bottom? Go outside! XD

I was looking for an organic phase. Oh my taste is the best behind the roland PH830 has more features but costs 3 to 4 times that price.

The pedal is analog, CV, with six choices internship internship phaser 12, bypass, adjustable drive, mix, resolution andthe frequency that resonates. (A quick glance at the screen and you will understand, there is no hidden functionality in a sub menu as often here)

It would have been ca Midif shall have been no worse for the syncro. they do well on the MF105 MuRF twelve o'clock. Too bad for that. Moog there's little to very expensive but it sounds just right! So 8 / 10 because the features are very good but not perfect.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use. The settings are progressive, ranging from soft and very slow to very fast.
Everything is perfect I expected no more.

SOUND QUALITY

So here it sounds the fire god. It's hot organic perfect. I wanted a phaser like those that can be heard at midnight juggernauts and Legowelt. I bought the Moog and I have used. It sounds round, warm, precise, organic, soft, silky full of adjectives to finally say that it gives life to anything this pedal, a lead, an arpeggio, a tablecloth. It does everything out and then they just choose the frequency on which is centered the phaser so it's just perfect.

My house is on synths, I never tested with BAR but given that the LFO is here we must be able to do things a little crazy.

I love it. I wanted to start with this one and I admit I like the ring mod the coup because it is a fact that quality is rare, and MuRF (for filtered seq) and mf107 to add a tilt a single one has tilt. Anyway it's expensive but they are all good.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a little less than one year but does not contemplate the sale. I think she is screwed for a while with me. To my taste, the best there is Audio Design and Recording roland PH830, one like the other mega expensive and not found for ADR.
This pedal is the best! The sound is perfect, finishing moog copy ca speaks for itself, the switches and knobs are resistant oil just right.
Just a quick point, I have the 50th anniversary model and the small plaque that mentions the cons is the crap! This is not serious and it bothers me not at all but yeah blah, screen it'll top that with a single blow nail ... ho hum

Of course I do it again this choice. For the first time I immediately found the product that suits me, without passing 15 as the delays for which I think I'll never find one that suits me. I have an idea that I tapped for the shot delay ... the Moog delay?!? yes ... but not ... too expensive ... I'm not mentally prepared yet but if it's as good as phaser !!!!!! wow it must be true top!

The MF-103 is an analog phaser Fully. Like his brothers of the Moogerfooger SERIES, Submitted it as a big effect pedals with two-sided bu the most beautiful effect. Design, forcment vintage, is typical of this builder, and is strongly reminiscent of the Minimoog (knob, switches, srigraphie).
To edit the effect it has 6 knobs, 2 switches and a switch (or not to bypass the effect).

UTILIZATION

The grip is comfortable trs, you quickly get the sound you want. There's no sub-menus, we are in a purely analog domain. One knob = one function, and it was like it's good. Obviously no memory either, which really is not seen Gnant fast shipping.

SOUND QUALITY

A THE FIRST use, once connected to my micro Q, the conclusion is clear: the sound is warm, Dfine, ample, in a word huuuuge! I found that this synth dj was a big potato. With the MF-103 output is duly!!
Cot range of sounds, it can range from simple analog color (dlicieuse) leslie cab effect well aware, from well-sr by phasing the sweetest as the deepest. I finally with a big seventies I rvais tablecloths (not only)!
In fact is made with any type of sound (low - yet I rve, leads, chords ...). Just be aware that the higher the harmonic content of what he puts in is lv more pronounced the effect will be. For example if you enter a lead simple, like a tilt gnrant sinusodale a wave, the phasing effect will be almost zero. This is normal, the principle of the same type of effect.

OVERALL OPINION

I just have it, but I spent several hours over dj (yes I am as a fuck). It is on track to become a incoutournable my home studio. I know it's not reasonable, but I want to put across, all my sounds!
What I like most is the warmth and size of the sound, the quality of the effect itself, and the look. Question default, DSOL I see it ... the price may be (385 euros) ... but hey you have to know what you want.
I have not heard many of its competitors (note there is no mass). The Electro Harmonix Small Stone of, although trs cool, sounds dirty ct. I speak not of the same PH-3 Phase Shifter Boss, that sounds really small ...
In any case I regret it, it's really the bomb.

This pedals is as the name implies a phaser, Fully analog with an LFO that can CONTRL.
A jack output between two and six jacks for CONTRL rcuprer the machine and the signal from the LFO. Ct CONTRL, 6 potentiomtres rotating two slecteurs a interuptor and three diodes CONTRL (level, LFO, Bypass).
Level building is in a box with sides mtal plutt solid wood. The format is not standard, and the power supply is external, not practical, it's a good way to avoid the interference of a power that can radiate, but hey, not very practical.

UTILIZATION

The PDAL is very simple to use, the connection is well stated, and all custom settings are ditables.
It is by no cons to find his empty right the first time, must be sought each time.
The manual is not great, everything is explained but are shmas incomprhensibles because scans on the English version, it is more convenient to read the manual in English, that said, it is short-trs .

SOUND QUALITY

On the sound, there is nothing to say, keyboard, guitar, bass, it can be used on any instrument nimporte. In all cases, the sound is analog TRS and dous, without being soft, trs little breath for a phaser, it is trs Loint the vast majority of phasers numrique, cold , sometimes garish, full of breath unusable! the pedals I'm redcouvrir this.

OVERALL OPINION

I am happy with the trs pedals, I use it for several months, if not its external power supply, ensuring a better quality sound, but not very practical, it is perfect! it's on there is an effect, and is plutt CHRE, propose a multi-effect one hundred effects for the same price, but there is no relationship between the phasors of these machines, and the l.
I wanted to buy the pedals APRS be used to plug bombfactory that mule, trs plug is good, but the pedals is even better live and especially useful. I like the pedals so that I will complter my arsenal by his cousins ​​Moog.

The MF 103 is a phasing switchable 6 or 12 floors.
It uses an LFO with triangle signial ranging from very slow to faster.
It is entirely analog.
The phase-shifting circuit using OTA LM13700N (6 in total for 12 floors)
The connection is very complete everything is controllable by external voltage

UTILIZATION

Configuration very simple and complete
Edition no direct memory (a function button

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are good but not great.
We are phasing in the use of OTA with the typical sound of these circuits.
Nothing to do with a style phaser photoresists using MU-TRON BIPHASE, MXR 100, MU-TRON PHASER 2or MAXON PH 305.

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last 6 months
J loves the look and manufacturing is very profesional.
What I like least is the use of c OTA instead of optoresistor
For really high price for this pedal j would have thought having optoresistors
I have a MU-TRON BIPHASE, A MXR100 whose sound is warmer phase and especially deep and dynamic
D use with other headphones very well mean a slight breath of the OTA circuit, blow a totally absent in mu-tron biphase dating from 1977.
So for months the relationship is bad qualitprix
This pedal is too expensive especially when you know that an OTA LM 13700N costs about 4 dollars.
Has sold half price it would be great (even without the logo MOOG).

T say any good adj.

UTILIZATION

Like everything has t say. For my part, I was pleased to have the little manual in French ... Moog but well, you "hack" (in the best sense) and ends up finding what you want.

SOUND QUALITY

Particulirement convincing effects, no breath, even if ncessaire will filter natural sustain of the instrument on which he opre. I apprci on electric guitars and electro. but his appointment will be on the Rhodes and the Party! good sound 70 'c'tait not hard but it has become the soup with a desire to "rate" relatively small, we get oscillations and an overall ambiance particulirement "cotton" in a word: Listen to 17 seconds Premire how deep is your love!

OVERALL OPINION

Used for twenty hours on the Rhodes, he maintains idalie in the style I'm looking for. No ncessairement pramplifi it gives me an overall sound IE I actually tape!
Well not given either.

T say everything has already

UTILIZATION

Phaser trs complete: you can go to almost zero speed up faster (more than on most models) thanks to more speed switch (high and low) of very precise or the caller possibillit of tempo, resonance just go up to the bitter end, we slightly adjust the center frequency and depth of the effect (which is very convenient to adjust the tone of s No matter what sound)
Therefore not obvious to address, but allows a pallet of his impressive for a phaser (not including possibillity offered by the pedal of expression and the many controllers hp).
I will personally use max points cot saw one little relement experimenter has to spend hours on it ...

SOUND QUALITY

We can say that this boiboite really a unique sound warm and versatile that would justify
almost the price for I will issue still some downside:
I find that it has the tendency to "detune" the sound on certain settings, however, interresting, not easily disturbed what a singer on stage, for example ..
-Ca relative lack of quality in terms of preamps been taken on the machine, however it just saturates rather well on most of the sounds ..

OVERALL OPINION

It has been three years since I used the n and I is not regret my purchase, both in the studio that live (I live reggea mix of a sound system) and given the importance of this effect in my kind of music (reggea dub), it is for good by the grain of my sound, I have caused staff themselves adding a compressor in the ass to fill a slight lack in preamps.
J uses the recently MuTron bi-phase, hardest is seen that there is no longer produced, let us consider the reason as "roylce" phaser pedals, I went to j is believed that m ... What neni to separate the moog trs competes well despite its small Defaux, that s just not the same sound: the MuTron has a more "organic" and easy to use, moog more "chewing gum" and experimental.
I will say that c is to summarize in my opinion one of the best phaser on the market and also one of the most expensive, not normal ...?

All been said ...
Lots of big buttons and switches around to switch to one side or another ... The experimenter crazy as I am is having a field day! While the analog if you please ...

Almost all parameters are controllable via footswitch, a fully editable ...

10 of just 10! Note that I use with an electric guitar in front of the amp (not in the effects loop)

UTILIZATION

Given the number of knobs and options, the general configuration is not simple but it is for the benefit of many and varied sonic possibilities ...
The French manual is clear and sufficient.

8 of 10: the configuration is not simple but the manual catches up.

SOUND QUALITY

Strengths: great sound, very flexible, which makes the slight phasing phasing cradingue dégueux saturated and some even go to a ring modulator! We really value for money.

The effect of breath when some knobs are slightly at the end of the race, but it is very reasonable and very small with high-grade cables.

I love everything so 18/20 for lightweight breath sometimes.

OVERALL OPINION

I love it. It'll be 6 months that I use and it is the ultimate pedal phasing.

Its weak point is its price in my opinion: it's very very expensive but it is an investment in the long term. It's a safe bet that I will have it again in 40 years if it still works, for which, given the quality of products Moog, I have no doubt.
Another weak point: The size of the box, forcing a pedalboard well supplied, but given the sound quality, it welcomes them with open arms by making him a big place.

Looking for a phaser that goes a little further than others? That is original in its settings, versatile and above all quality? Look no further, you have it.

This is a very tweakable analog Phaser built by some very talented people.

1/4" input and output
drive and output controls to match your signal for unity or overdrive
6/12 stage selector
lo/hi speed selector
LFO out to send the LFO to other gear that can take CV signals

controls for sweep, amount,resonance,and rate all of which have rear mounted 1/4" stereo jacks to send control voltage and exp. pedal signals

There is a rack mount kit available to neatly house three Moogerfoogers

UTILIZATION

Hooking up the Phaser is as easy as any other pedal. You get your input/output hooked up and set your level knobs so your bypass signal is even with the effected signal. I generally set my input signal so it hits the red when I strum hard and then adjust the output to match my bypass signal.

Getting a sound going can be as simple as any other phaser as the knobs are pretty self explanatory but once you get into all the rear CV jacks the process gets a bit more involved. Moog does a great job of explaining how all the jacks work in the manual and trust me you want to read the manual.

SOUND QUALITY

I typically use the pedal in my guitar set-up but occasionally hook it up to keys and synth. It sounds excellent with both.

I have not found another phaser capable of the thick sound this box creates. The standard phaser sound is worth the price alone and then once you get into all the craziness with the CV stuff it's just a whole new world of sounds. I prefer the 6 stage phasing and lo speed setting for general use and keep the resonance somewhere in the middle. This gets a great but not overbearing sweep that adds a perfect amount of movement to your sound. Setting the resonance higher gets closer to a sweep sound you would get on a synth and setting the speed higher can get you all the way into ring modulation territory. The ring modulation sounds were a great surprise to me as I don't use that sound enough to warrant a dedicated pedal.

I also own the CP251 which is Moog's control device. It can send all kinds of control voltages allowing you to achieve wild sounds from sample&Hold to complex wave forms that swirl the sound in a dizzying fashion. I highly suggest that box to anyone who owns more than one Moog pedal.

The only issue some people seem to have is the preamp. The preamp is always active whether you have the effect on or are in bypass. This can add some noise to your signal if you are not careful with the settings and what kind of boosts/drive pedals you place after the Moog. For me it has not been a problem and I use this pedal in-front of a high gain amp. There is a little coloration of your signal as well but not enough for me to worry about it. Stick it in a bypass loop box if it bothers you.


OVERALL OPINION

If you just need a simple phase sound this might not be for you. The sound quality is excellent but the size and price may be too much if an old Phase 90 will work for you. Personally I don't think I will ever sell this box as it's the first Moog product I bought and it got me into all of their pedals. I did not own too many phasers before this one but none of them can get close to touching the sound of the MF-103.

This phaser is just a bomb, and its possibilities are infinite. 100% analogue, c nickel with a guitar, keyboard, etc. ...

UTILIZATION

too cool, you should know the aprivoiser but its use is simple live. can have a whole state of editable sounds in real time and if you have the settings in the head that is good at playing any type of music with a preference for me to funky music.


SOUND QUALITY

moog really gives us the means to express itself with their foot, I also have their filter FM 101 and I can combine them!

All thanks to good connections, you have read in other reviews.

Nothing to say, c 10/10

OVERALL OPINION

this makes 2 months that I have and I 'am fully satisfied.
I know that I keep all my life so that I would also put the maximum rating despite its very high price for many including me.

Control parameters:
- LFO
- Rate applied to the LFO sweep
- Sweep to move the phaser frequency of 6 octaves
- All the resonance parameters are also controllable via external signals or CV pedal (mono or stereo 6.35 ') Gain control with 3 LED input level indicators. Mixing control signal input and signal output of the phaser.

Switches:
- Select type of phaser 6 / 12 floors
- Low / High Frequency LFO (0.01 to 2.5 Hz / 1 to 250 Hz)
- Bypass with LED position indicator Audio Input -16 dBm to +4 dBm, output impedance 1 megaohm audio to -4 dBm impedance 5000 ohm +8 dBm absolute maximum output TO for creating stereo effects (frequency response opposite to the primary output) to -4 dBm impedance 5000 ohm +8 dBm absolute maximum CV Sweep in + / - 2.5 V 50 000 ohm impedance triangle LFO out, + / - 2.8 V 600 ohm impedance All entrances, exits, CV jack 6 , 35 Power 9V Optional Moogerfooger EP1 pedals or other effects Moogerfooger


UTILIZATION

The manual is clear and succinct. The sound is clear and so rich! No difficulty in exploiting the huge sound palette of this marvel!

SOUND QUALITY

J'voulais sounds at the Black Ark Lee Perry period (Arkology) and return to the delusions of scratch Funkadelic. I'm thrilled but at one point! The record is orgnique / living. I only used on my guitar (semi-hollow Gibson 339, 2 humbuckers).

OVERALL OPINION

I bought there over a year. I knew that the Small Ston and the Boss, but do not hold personally. I tested from the Whetstone Blackout Effectors but it has not dethroned the Moog that remains for me a master purchase and a pillar of my pedalboard! Roots

The Moog Music MF-103 12 Stage Phaser is an analog phase shifter effect pedal. It has a 1/4 inch input and output and has its own power supply. It is not a rackable unit, it is a foot stomp box.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of this pedal takes a bit of getting used to, as there are a lot of parameters. Once you understand what everything does, it is easy to manipulate your in a variety of different ways to get a ton of interesting phaser sounds. The pedal has an LFO section with a knob that controls the amount and another knob that control the rate. It also has a switch to choose between hi and lo to change the tone. The phaser section has a knob for sweep, a knob for resonance and a switch to choose either six, or 12 stage. It also has a drive knob and a knob for output level. The manual for this is pretty thorough and helpful when learning what this pedal can do.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects from the Moog Music MF-103 are pretty incredible. It is capable of getting a huge variety of different tones, all of which are thick and rich tone. I have only used this pedal with guitar but it would definitley work well with keyboards and bass guitar. The wide array of parameters makes it possible to get a number of great sounding phaser tones, ranging from the traditional phaser sound to some interesting sounds that would be hard to replicate elsewhere. In my opinion, all Moog products are made well and are always about producing a great tone.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the Moog Music MF-103 12-Stage Phaser for about two years and it is probably the best phaser pedal out there. It is unique and has a great sound quality overall and the wide array of parameters makes it a versatile. Being that its one of the best phasers out there, it also has the price tag of that and will cost you about $250 USD new. For the serious player looking at getting a great phaser this is about as good as it gets and is probably worth the money. If you are interested in this pedal, or phase shifters in general, definitely check this pedal out as you may decide you can't live without it!
