Moog Launches New Moogerfooger Module, The MF-104M Analog Delay
Today Moog Music Inc. releases its newest Moogerfooger Analog Effects Module – the MF-104M Analog Delay.
The MF-104M recreates the sound and vibe of Moog’s Classic MF-104. It uses the same vintage “Bucket Brigade” delay chips found in the original, which reportedly provide “800ms of the richest, creamiest, all analog delay on the planet.”
According to Moog, the next-gen MF-104M includes significant feature and function upgrades not found in other analog delay units.
“The MF-104M features an all-analog signal path with 800ms of all analog delay time, 6 Waveshape LFO, Dedicated Tap Tempo switch assignable to Delay Time or LFO Rate, MIDI control and recall of every function, and Spillover Mode which has been the most popular modification to the MF-104.
The Classic MF-104 was designed by synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog and released in 2000. It utilized a special “Bucket Brigade” delay chip that allowed the effect to remain completely analog. Unfortunately, the supply of these chips was limited and the final MF-104 was sold in 2001. In 2005 there were two limited reissues of the Classic MF-104; the MF-104Z and the extremely rare MF-104SD, of which only 250 were made.”
The new MF-104M Analog Delay reportedly utilizes the same vintage Bucket Brigade chips found in the Classic MF-104 which are only available in limited supply. So, the $699 MF-104M will only be available for a limited time.
Like all Moogerfoogers, the MF-104M is housed in a rugged steel chassis with wood sides and utilizes CV/Expression inputs for controlling Time, Rate, Feedback, Amount, and Mix. A Feedback Insert is also available for adding external effects to the delay line.
