Nora and UG: does Mu-Fx carry the same mojo as the old Musitronics stuff? I haven't really looked into it in a while (since the Tru-Tron was announced). I just found out about the Divider a week or so ago when I was checking prices on something else. haha.

I don't know, I've got all originals and was very tempted by the presale on the divider but passed. Even though I've already got two clones of my bi-phase in the pi-phase and Faye's her I would be very tempted/all over another if mike comes out with one :love:
I would really like to see a revamp of the treadle flanger. :joy:

Yea, me too, but I think that is even more specific and the least likely to happen. Even though it is superficial, I do miss the red/blue musitronics style. The stuff always looked like it was some kind of austronaut equipment.

Mojo by definition means the item has to be old and expensive and contain less functionality than current industry standards.

That's not true. The cheaper the shit, the more mojo it has.

The Mu-Tron stuff is high quality and was expensive to manufacture in the first place.

The Bi-Phase definitely has more functionality than most other phasers ever. :idk:

That's quite a serious response to a not so serious post. You alright over there?

The octave divider sounds really nice. I just watched one of the videos linked to the first one. They are going to put out a dual overdrive? Why not a phaser? Still want the Tru-Tron.

Oh, don't worry. They'll eventually get to the phaser. Beigel's said they're gonna do the Bi-Phase. So, I don't see why there'd be any reason to doubt they'd do the single phaser too. I think the phaser's like their bread and butter. They should've done it as their first or second release. :idk: Maybe it's a little more difficult to re-engineer than the rest of the line?

Man, just read about this earlier today after reading up on Steve Hillages gear from the seventies, and here's the thread. Sweet. Pedals look and sound amazing. Anyone here got one of the Mu-FX yet?

I still haven't gotten any of the Mu-FX. I still kinda want all of 'em.

I dig this Musitronics logo:

So the overdrive has an orange squeezer, albemic stratoblaster, and DOD/Rat like stage + kinda stereo? Sounds neat now that I read about it. Pre-order should be soon! Plus it says synaptic groove...feedback loop :snax:
