Moog LPSSUB001 Sub Phatty, Black

Q: Which one is better? The Sub Phatty or the Little Phatty Stage II? The Little Phatty Stage II costs more but the Sub Phatty has better reviews.

The Sub Phatty is knobbier and, IMHO, richer-sounding, but it has a smaller keyboard, fewer presets, and a bunch of functions hidden behind Shift Mode. In my opinion, your best bet would probably be the Moog Sub 37. It uses the same synth engine as the Sub Phatty, has a 37-key keyboard, and has knobs for most or all of the aforementioned hidden functionality. If you don't need copious presets, it's basically the best of both worlds.

Q: Which synth is better for lead tones, the Korg MS-20 Mini or the Moog Sub Phatty?

Hi, Cullen ~This all depends on what style or inclinations You have. Personally, I prefer the Moog Sub Phatty (why I use one in mi rig) because I can get very hefty frequency modulated sounds (LFO goes to audio rate) and have the ability to recall settings (by programming and saving Presets). Also, the Moog has a happier sentiment to mi ears. Of course, the MS-20 Mini or Full Size Kit - I have both in stock by the way - is very complimentary and sounds so different from the Moog, thanks to its Bandpass Filter topology (jumper selectable on the full size kit. Read: "Two types of filter are provided: both the early and later versionsThe original MS-20 used different VCF circuits depending on the date of production. Units produced in the earlier period used a filter noted for its distinctive distortion and self-oscillation, while the filter used in later units was a low-noise design with a more mellow character. Amazingly, this new MS-20 Kit provides both filters. You can switch between the two by moving a jumper pin on the circuit board according to your taste or needs.") That being said, I think a synthesist can certainly justify owning both. Really just up to operator preference (Allow Your ears to decide) if You must choose one. So if You like High pass filter sounds, go with the MS, and if You want the weightiest, roundest tones, go with the Moog. Please do express any concerns moving forward, as I am here to help, and I do hope that You consider making Your synthesizer purchase with Noisebug.Yours in Musik~~~Old NikNOISEBUG

Q: Can this be used as a drum machine?

No, this is a synthesizer, not a drum machine

Q: Could I play this through a guitar amp?

You can, but most guitar amps do not have the low bass frequencies covered very well and one of the strengths of this synth will be lost somewhat if you don't play it through something that covers all the frequencies of the synth.

An absolute blast.

This synth is amazing, you'll hear the diffrence after the first note you press. I've heard all of the other synths that the sub phatty competes with and none of them come close to the sound of the sub phatty. Also having lots of knobs makes programming an absolute blast. One thing to keep in mind is that very fine adjustments make a big diffrence. Spending time very slowly turning each knob will help you find all of the sweet spots. Spend some time finding the right balence of pre filter gain, multi drive and resonance. When the multi drive knob is set to 9 o'clock it produces the most amplitude, past 9 o'clock the amplitude goes down as the distortion goes up. Also, don't be afraid of all the hidden parameters, they're easy to get the hang of it and truly contributes to this synths awesome power.

A Real Moog

I love the presets and ability to store your own. One problem with analogs is the difficulty in reproducing certain patches. Just wished it had more presets. A bit spendy compared to other analogs, but I suppose you have to expect that, on account of the name.
