Moog

Robert Moog started out selling theremin kits from Trumansburg, New York, in 1953, more than a decade before he built the first voltage-controlled synthesizer with a piano-style keyboard in 1964. The Minimoog, launched in 1970, and Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach album a couple of years earlier did more than anything else to put the Moog sound into mainstream music, though the company itself went bankrupt in 1987 after years of financial trouble. Moog won back the rights to his own name in 2002 and rebuilt the company in Asheville, North Carolina; inMusic Brands has owned it since 2023. On GuitarBomb it mostly appears as the pedal Behringer keeps cloning, the Moogerfooger. Here's what we've written.
