The attention to detail and amount of features packed in these guitar pedals are always second to none, soaring above and beyond other offerings on the market. Everything from the construction and control knob placement to the obsessive choice of internal components seems painstakingly mulled over to create a product of the utmost quality and functionality. The Moogerfooger MF-108M Cluster Flux is certainly no exception.

Situation Normal, All Fluxed Up

The MF-108M is essentially a chorus, flange, and vibrato unit with an abundance of control parameters for shaping surreal soundscapes and mangling your sound beyond recognition should you so desire. The Cluster Flux uses a pair of rare Panasonic Bucket Brigade Delay chips, chosen for their specific tonal character, in its all-analog delay lines to induce the lush effects the MF-108M has on tap. Its various parameters can be tweaked in realtime with the surface control knobs or via the assortment of expression pedal inputs on the back. And that’s not to mention full MIDI implementation for controlling everything imaginable on the surface and under the hood.

The MF-108M is an instrument of the highest order, a tool for sonic pioneers like the man whose name this pedal bares.
