I am not familiar with the argued for Moog pedal by using it. Probably the dials make it a better user friendly device. I like real time change, so anything without a throw/rocker pedal to do this is a sataic device to me...in that case the Roland setup is by far the best..more complicated, more sounds, more everything...and the most expensive as we all know....so I guess that makes the Roland king.

Sound
a myriad of synth sounds...the problem is that every time you use it, one has to accept different settings, which means that every time you use it, the sounds are never the same. The sliders make it nearly impossible to replicate sounds unless you record them on the chart that is provided, but even then, because the sliders are sensitive enough to their positioning, it is mad difficult to be exacting...almost impossible! The sound quality is great! Rich, full sounds...the tracking can be set by adjusting the variance screw underneath....properly adjusted, the tracking is tight for almost all applications. I have been using this pedal together with the Behringer Slow Motion pedal and assorted delay settings....I'm getting massive tones! The percussive sounds are brash and biting....the wind sounds are violin like....the sub bass works beautifully and substitutes well in cases when the guitar needs to be the bass liner.

Features
This device should use dials instead of sliders..then at least the numbers could be remembered… read more for their values...probably too much to ask for a digital read window. Stupid idea to have this as a floor pedal. It should be mounted on a stand like the old design for the Mu-Tron. This makes the most sense to me, seeing that the sliders have to be manually changed, and the best way to change the sounds in real time is to have the freakin' thing handy. The stomp switch then should be a separate box connected by a jack plug cable. With these mods, then, the pedal has mad potentials to be very competitive.

Ease of Use
ok, as it is, it is easy to use....it takes no time to find interesting settings. Just impossible to find them again. So with that in mind, a curious pedal for spontaneous and random settings.

Quality
the sliders get loose, the tabs break...needs to be wrapped when put in the gig bag. Steel enclosure makes it pretty durable otherwise.

Value
This product could probably be priced for less, but they are getting what the market fetches for it....a little steep, but a device that can separate your potential style(s) from the pack. Sort of like an investment in originality, maybe.

Manufacturer Support
My pedal stopped working for no apparent reason....a loosened connect inside?...called them up, was given an authorization code to mail it in, and my pedal was expertly repaired..a side of sliders completely replaced..for no charge except for the cost of the mailing TO! They even paid for the return send.

The Wow Factor
a great pedal for the sonic soundscape artist! Nifty for getting all of those 'in-between' sounds.
