I knew these guys were getting into the synth game but check these pedals out. The MoogerFooger looking ones take boss style power!

They're not cheap but they don't really seem overpriced. I want that Taff and Square Tides so HAAAAAAAARD.

That Treminator was on my radar when I was looking for a tremolo. All the demos looked really good. The new moog-ish designs are pretty nice. Prices aren't as out of reach as I expected.

Looks like Death By Audio and Ohnoho and Moog had a baby.

Those prices are alright. You could pretty much make a mini modular synth/pedal rig. They don't have quite the power of the Moog but the 9v barrel inputs and probably lower noise floor could be a real plus.

They used to be call Freaqbox, they had a sequencer I really liked but I could not find it anywhere, so I purchased the EHX one:

I think they had to change all their products and their name not so long ago. I quite like the Epsilon, I'm still to identify a shop stocking them in Europe (they are based in Greece so it should be sold somewhere...)

Yeah they had to change because of trademark infringement…wonder if it was Moog.

Last week we had a trademark issue with a major company concerning our brand. They have an effect pedal under a close name. We clearly weren’t aiming into copying them or causing people confusion, so we decided that it would be best to change our name in this early stage of our company.
Looks like it!

oh and look at this thing they do too:

Always been a fan. I wonder if the new Moog look is a middle finger.

I certainly hope it is, haha!

Glen let me know if you find a eu dealer - buying from Norway is a recipe for financial ruin, and I only checked one Greek dealer but they didn't seem to have any of their pedals. ??

Analog bit crushing is an oxymoron, right? Is it fast tremolo or crunchy ringmod or something?
