Moog Music posted a geektacular teaser today for a new MoogerFooger pedal, along with this J.R.R. Tolkien riddle:
This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.
The new MoogerFooger is coming June 22nd. If you’ve got ideas on what it will be, or the relevance of the riddle, leave a comment!
The answer to the riddle is time. I think its a mod-delay pedal.

It’s a new version of the Delay, it’s a 104M. Sweetwater leaked the details in their catalog.

Whatever it is, I hope it works like that Ring Tolkien wrote about–I’d be more relaxed playing live if I were invisible.

Yep, definitely a delay, with some wild filter and modulation settings.

I for one look forward the the inevitably well shot but desperately annoying marketing materials featuring someone use the gear to make an unlistenable racket.

It’s definitely a new analog delay. MF-104M. I think Sweetwater inadvertently leaked it by listing it in their new Summer 2012 catalog before Moog had an opportunity to announce it or post their teaser video. I’ve had the catalog in hand since last week. The price that’s shown is $ 679.00.

The riddle is about time, so obviously it’s going to be most likely a delay of some sort, regardless of any leaks.
