Moog Messenger

For the reference - I've had Moog Little Phatty II in the past.
Everyone calls this synth the "beginner" synth, but it's features and abilities surpasses past this label. It has descent build quality (for being made not in the US) and strong Moog sound. Not the top-of-the-line, but I see it as a good workhorse in live shows and home studios.
I love how it can make typical bass sounds, leads, pads, but also some wild noises for sound design purposes.
I like it so far. Although I see where Moog fans be unsatisfied.

Wasnt sold on this straight out of the box but after a couple of weeks, its a winner for me. Good build quality, good sound, excellent controls, very good presets. Its a very performance oriented instrument. My ownly concern would be the quality if the knobs. There is very little resistence in them. Not sure if this is an indication of plastic shafts like the ones used on my Sub37 that had to be replaced when the Filter knob shaft gave out. Hopefully the moog engineers learn from past mistakes and these will be more reluable.

hightly recommended! this synths sounds huge !!!
