It has infinite sustain. It has a Moog filter. Then there’s the metallurgy. Huh? Introducing the Moog Guitar, which the company says is not a digital instrument, nor is it a synthesizer. It was created by Paul Vo, who went to Moog with the design, and then worked with both Moog’s engineering team and Zion Guitars’ Dale Brown in actually producing the enigmatic instrument. Where does the metallurgy come in? Well, the Moog strings that ship on the guitar have a specific metallurgy designed specifically to work with the Moog pickups. That said, here is a partial list of just what the Moog Guitar is capable of:
- Infinite sustain on every note, switchable between “infinite” mode and controlled or mute settings.
- It has a unique Mute Mode that produces “staccato articulations.”
- Harmonic blends allow controlled harmonic sounds from the strings in other modes.
- There’s a built-in Moog ladder filter, controllable by foot pedal or CV input.
- Pickup controls include Piezo, Bridge-only, Out-of-Phase, In Phase, Neck-only.
