Not Better—Different
Working directly with Bob Moog, Bomb Factory
enhanced the Moogerfooger Analog Delay to be
even more useful for digital recording. An inte-
grated Highpass Filter allows you to remove un-
wanted bass buildup from the feedback loop, al-
lowing you to have warmer, more-controllable
echo swarms while minimizing the potential for
digital clipping.
Moogerfooger Analog Delay
Controls
The Moogerfooger Analog Delay provides the
following controls:
Delay Time Delay Time allows you to select the
length of delay between the original and the de-
layed signal. Used with Feedback, it also affects
how long apart the echoes are.
Short/Long The Short/Long switch sets the
range of the Delay Time control. Set to Short,
the Delay Time ranges from 0.04 to 0.4 seconds.
Set to Long, it ranges from 0.08 to 0.8 seconds.
Feedback Feedback determines how much sig-
nal is fed back to the delay input, affecting how
fast the echoes die out.
Highpass The Highpass knob removes low fre-
quencies from the feedback loop. It removes un-
desirable low frequency “mud” common when
mixing with delays and also allows the creation
of amazing echo swarms that won’t clip the out-
put. Dial in a highpass frequency from 50 Hz to
500 Hz. Frequencies below the setting are fil-
tered from the feedback loop.
HPF On/Off The HPF Off/HPF On enables or dis-
ables the highpass filter (HPF).
Drive The Drive control sets the input gain.
Mix The Mix control blends the original input
signal with the delayed signal.
LED Indicators
Three LEDs down the center of the unit provide
visual feedback.
Input Level The Input Level LED glows green
when signal is present.
HPF The HPF LED turns green when the high-
pass filter is enabled.
Bypass The Bypass LED glows either red (by-
passed) or green (not bypassed) to show
whether or not the effect is in the signal path.
Moogerfooger Analog Delay Tips and Tricks
Infidelity
Because analog delay chips offer only a fixed
number of cells, the extended delay times store a
lower-fidelity version of the input signal. Try
the Long delay setting when going for cool “lo-
fi” sounds and textures.
Echo Swarms
By carefully adjusting the Feedback, Drive, and
Highpass controls, you can use the Mooger-
fooger Analog Delay as a sound generator. Sim-
ply pulse the delay unit with a short piece of au-
dio (even a second will do), and adjust the Delay
Time knob. Set correctly, the unit will generate
cool timbres for hours all by itself.
