Moot Booxlé gives an in-depth look at the newest addition to Moog Music's Moogerfooger line of effects, the MF-108M Cluster Flux. It's a fully analog chorus/flange stompbox which is also fully MIDI-controllable. It's also (understandably) quite expensive.

You convinced me to buy one! I was looking for a flanger pedal and have always been interested in this pedal, but never realized ALL of the different things it can really do when you use it. SOLD! thanks!

@chrimic 12 лет назад

Great review Moot, glad your back

Seriously great review, very helpful. Thanks!

Fantastic review. Love your style!

Cool demo love my cluster flux but as I don’t get to use it live still figuring out how to have fun with it on my non gig practice time. Awesome knob tricks I guess I’ve had my hands on my guitar too much going to send a loop through this pedal and have both hands on knobs after seeing this super fun demo ✌️👊🏻

@thechronicnoizeco.6675 7 лет назад

Excellent review!

@1800KLIENFELD 8 лет назад

Great review man.. Good job!!!

@painteat 8 лет назад

I bought it just because of the way he says "well" at 12:24

@sauce_aux 7 лет назад

This is great. I just picked up the LPF and I'm shaking my head, like why didn't I get this sooner ?? I'm definitely going to check this one out

@gunsandguitars6678 6 лет назад

thanks for showing the flange mode for guitar most people skip that and play with everything else looks like I will be purchasing a Moog ☆☆☆

@theomegleyouhate 12 лет назад

wow that sounds awesome man, great review! You sure got a interesting new look dude haha

@mootbooxle 12 лет назад

@Rhythmicons glad to hear it! I plan on buying one as soon as I can get the cash together! It's really the best chorus/flange effect I have ever used...by far. Especially on Rhodes!

@mootbooxle 11 лет назад

Hey thanks a lot! Nice to know I wasnt the only one with sore toes after using a Fuzz Face! As to your question...I wish the answer was yes. I had to send it back! It was a blast having it in my studio for a while though.

@F0nkyNinja 12 лет назад

I love you and your music MooT. I don't need to say no more.

@cowsoundse 6 лет назад

Nice review...

@naanod 11 лет назад

great combo

@lyndenedwards2269 7 лет назад

Great demo dude, that pedal sounds mega... I want one to go with my MF-104 :-) I always laugh at the complaints about gear prices, we should be glad we aren't buying pro classical instruments!

@daveglassman4779 6 лет назад

This was a really great demo of this product - you explained it very well. I'm curious to know, the intro and outro music, is that something YOU put together yourself? It sounds great! BTW, I dig your keyboard and guitar playing. Nice work!

@mootbooxle 6 лет назад

Thank you so much! Yes, that’s a tune that I recorded right there in that room...Eventually I’ll get that out! The mixes of two elpees worth of tunes were the victims of a terrible hard drive crash in 2012, and this was one of them!

@Digiphex 10 лет назад

Sounds great. I play a lot with pitch mod inside the synth. This could add instant pitch mod without changing my patches. And part of the satisfaction for me is playing with something solid, luxurious and fun to look at as well.

@mootbooxle 10 лет назад

That's what I liked a lot about it - it allowed me to pitch modulate things that normally don't have that capability, such as Rhodes.

@GEOSynths 9 лет назад

Great video and examples...love the accent as well :)

@Rhythmicons 12 лет назад

Your Rhodes sounds fantastic with one of those.....you may have very well sold me the 108. Eric

@mootbooxle 12 лет назад

@Rhythmicons I just completely re-voiced my Rhodes about a year ago...it was a painstaking process, but I was trying to get a sound closer to Bill Evans "From Left To Right" or Mahavishnu Orchestra (with Jan Hammer on keys) "Dawn". Early model with felt hammers type of sound. I'm actually thinking about going back to my old sound though, which was a lot hotter and more Herbie Hancock-ish. Video time! Oh and about noise- the MF-108 is super noisy at long delay times. That's normal.

@maxauto44e 12 лет назад

damn long time no see!

@ChuOnWax 12 лет назад

Thanks for the fluxing close up.

@jaikwillis 12 лет назад

man you really get the Mooger pedals like few demoists do.

@Rhythmicons 12 лет назад

@mootbooxle What did you think about noise? I have heard some say that theirs were way too noisy and sent them back for a quieter one.

@awaken69 12 лет назад

love it

@75tm400 12 лет назад

Very nice demo. I wonder how the saxophone would sound playing through that thing. Have a great day Moot.

@bateimidrashnetwork 11 лет назад

It sounds great! But why does it have a mono in - when it has stereo out? I'm considering getting one for my synth (which has stereo out, for a reason), and this fact is holding me back a little bit.

@mootbooxle 12 лет назад

virtually every function is MIDI capable! You can definitely control the delay time via MIDI. I was planning to make a sequence showing this, but the vid is kinda long already...

@Rhythmicons 12 лет назад

@mootbooxle Id like to see you do a video about how you have your Rhodes tuned. I've got a '71 Suitcase that Id like to get more of that bass out of. Yours sound like it's brand new. What is your set-up here? Usually to get through the Foogers, I have to use the amp's headpones out which is pretty noisey. Are you bypassing the preamp?

@christopherrusch Год назад

i totally forgot what this pedal does and decided to find this video cause behringer is cloning the whole moogerfooger line (hopefully) this one hasn’t been announced yet but this just sounds TOO good to pass up. cant wait to get the 12 stage phaser though!

@mootbooxle Год назад

yeah man I’m looking forward to those! The Moog ones are just too expensive now!

@floatershaw 8 лет назад

Hey good review man i get it ,,

@WillyJunior 8 лет назад

did you add a very subtle reverb to your voice? ;)

@oscarvanderburgh9915 2 года назад

Hey There. Do you feel the Komorebi from dreadbox comes close? Considering it had cv in!

@mootbooxle 2 года назад

I wish I knew! I have not had the opportunity to try one.

@oscarvanderburgh9915 2 года назад

@@mootbooxle well… could you… do a comparison? Thing is… nobody’s can effort a cluster flux… and waiting for behringer to clone is just… waiting on a night train you hate taking. So… hmm… do u still have the cluster flux??

@christopherpederson1021 7 лет назад

Have you tried this thing with the Minimoog?

@mootbooxle 7 лет назад

Christopher Pederson wish I still had it! It was just a review unit...I had to give it back to Moog!

@GigameshMusic 11 лет назад

Good review, but shouldn't a stereo effect be demoed in stereo? :/

@NYCArtistCollective 11 лет назад

Wow great review! I was laughing at that FuzzFace comment, haha so true! Random question do get to keep the review models you are sent?

@jaikwillis 12 лет назад

@mootbooxie your youtube vids have helped convince me to buy a Freqbox AND a Clusterflux now. they should hook you up with a 104m so you can demo it for them. You get what these are for more than almost any other demoist & make actual musical settings. Why is that so hard for people on here? There has to be a way to set up a MIDI controller to make presets that could be toggled between from some kind of controller. Any ideas?

@bbbbub 12 лет назад

mootbooxle is awesome!

@777jordan 12 лет назад

the Chorus sounds amazing. Almost identical to the CE-1!

@silverstone3228 6 лет назад

do u think so?

@mootbooxle 12 лет назад

@Rhythmicons wow, you have a fairly early model Rhodes! Have you done the key pedestal mods? If not, I highly recommend it. It will change your life! The early ones can be pretty brutal to play otherwise. Mine is a frankenstein that I built from a '78 Suitcase which was pretty beat up, and a '79 Stage Mk I that was in MINT condition, but had no character. I am using the Suitcase preamp with an outboard power supply. The output is SUPER hot. Great idea about doing a Rhodes video.

@universalmanchild 9 лет назад

Can you get a good rotary speaker effect outta it?

@atomichullabalooband4358 7 лет назад

fred flinstone yes, both the flanger and the chorus parts of this can do decent Leslie emulations. It won't be as good as a real Leslie or a Neo Ventilator, but using an expression pedal to vary the rate on the Clusterflux helps. An example of this would be around 2:45 of This clip www.dropbox.com/s/ahdursbfgjts9l2/track%2013.wav?dl=0 My favorite way to get a Leslie sound with the Moogerfoogers is by combining the Ring Mod and Phaser and using the LFO out of the Ring Mod into the Phaser and using an expression pedal into the Ring Mod to vary the speed. If Hammond/Leslie sounds are your main goal, I would go another route, but since I'm playing a Farfisa I love the flexibility of the Moogerfoogers.

@rem00000 12 лет назад

There are a ton of other ones I am sure like tap tempo and pitch bend etc.. Personally, unless the pedal is out of reach I think the MIDI functions are an unrefined perk. If you run two MIDI capable pedals for example, It would be difficult to organize parameters on one controller. It's unstable, stick to direct signal. Pick up a CP-251 for any additional bells and whistles and I'm sure that will alter your desire to plug these beautiful analog designs into your computer.

@mootbooxle 12 лет назад

Oh yeah. I look at the MIDI as a bonus. It's really not one of the "make or break" features of this pedal. It's a fun thing to have on there, but there's no way I'd try to rely on this like on a gig via MIDI. Too unstable. It's analog! Analog begs to be set by hand. It's the best way. :)

@andrewbdporter 12 лет назад

@mootbooxle Oh .. hahaha, Well it looks like a more modern look. Not sure if it is a different camera, probably not. Some older videos were in HD, but the aspect ratio looked like it had that old school vibe. It just looks like the old school isn't there as much as it was in the past few videos.

@mootbooxle 11 лет назад

a vintage National solid state FET guitar amp :)

@seamusmceagan 12 лет назад

i'm sure omar from volta has ten of these already, it would be great to hear it on the new album

@brianrodman1033 5 лет назад

Dustin Eagan he’s the one who originally sold me on the MF-102 Ring Modulator. You can get the sample and hold sound from Take the Veil... with the MF-101 and CP-251 (Omar used an Xotic Robotalk). Love the Moogerfoogers.

@mootbooxle 12 лет назад

@grEEnfan8880 my videos have been in HD for the past couple years!

@chesshirecat2 12 лет назад

fuck those prices, moot Booxle RULES! If he had his own pedals I'd effin fill my board with 'em!! Booxle! Woo!

@Goth108 11 лет назад

wow! nice demo! now... a ms-20 mini or this pedal? :D

@jackcimino8822 7 лет назад

Goth108 They are two completely different things. That's like comparing a video game console to a console add-on or accessory

@javiceres 9 лет назад

If it had a LFO CV Out, I'd kill for it. But anyways I Know this one will be mine some day.

@andrewbdporter 12 лет назад

What happened to your old school vibe? Your video is in HD now!!

@Rhythmicons 12 лет назад

Moot, Id really like to have the intro music on an MP3. I have just been humming this tune for well over a week now and Id really like to hear the rest of it so maybe I can get some sleep at night. lol Holler at me and let me know.. E

@calaverasgrande 11 лет назад

so it's basically an effectron, but with midi.

@petelebu 12 лет назад

five hundred and sixty dollars for that thing?! with that money you can buy all those effects separated and still have lots of money to spare, thats just outrageous.

@IlluminaBlade 12 лет назад

I can't find two videos where you have the same hair, its mind boggling.

@TQ255 11 лет назад

There even is a phone in there hiding at 8:19

@mootbooxle 12 лет назад

I said the same thing! Then I tried it.

@TheCoolrandomdudes 12 лет назад

you look so diffrent! :D

@VincentsVideoVisions 9 лет назад

I want to hire this guy to play Rhodes for me as I lay in bed trying to go to sleep.

@mootbooxle 9 лет назад

That can be arranged, lol.

@shckltnebay 8 лет назад

This or the MF Chorus?

@mootbooxle 8 лет назад

I would say the determining factor is: which one suits your needs better? The MF Chorus is similar in a lot of ways, and can do a lot of things, but of course can't do the more extreme effects that this does. It's also much cheaper! If it was me, I think I'd get the MF Chorus.

@shckltnebay 8 лет назад

mootbooxle I agree im just wondering if I will miss not having a tone knob?

@petelebu 12 лет назад

i dont know man, 650 dollars for chrous flanger and a very limited distortio is just a bit too much
