Moog E1 - Tremolo Bridge

"One of the most inspiring aspects of producing The Moog Guitar has been hearing from guitarists who have been creatively reinvigorated by it." said Mike Adams, Moog Music President. "When someone plays it for the first time, you can almost see new musical ideas forming in their head."

 

The Model E1 provides an incredibly intimate playing experience that connects musicians directly to the source of the sound; the strings of the guitar. It does this by controlling the way the strings vibrate. In a very coherent way, the Model E1 gives energy to, and takes energy away from the strings. The resulting timbres do not rely on effects or post-processing. They are created directly from the strings.

 

"To me, touching the strings, being able to directly manipulate the very source of sound is fundamental to the nature of the guitar and to the spirit of playing it." said Moog Guitar inventor, Paul Vo. "The E1's controls just set the background mode - the control system characteristics. The strings are always your main user interface. The idea was never to make the guitar sound like anything else - it was to excite the instrument with controlled electronics to bring out hidden aspects of the instrument’s own natural character."

 

What makes this guitar so special?

 

The Moog Guitar Electronics add an unparalleled range of expression to the Moog Guitar:

 

Full Sustain Mode – like no other sustainer; infinite sustain on every string, at every fret position and at any volume. You may have heard sustain before but not with this power ("Vo Power") and clarity.

 

Controlled Sustain Mode – allows you to play sustained single or polyphonic lines without muting technique. The Moog E1 Guitar sustains the notes you are playing while actively muting the strings you are not playing.

 

Mute Mode – removes energy from the strings, resulting in a variety of staccato articulations. The mute mode has never been heard on any other guitar; the Vo Power stops the strings with the same intensity that it sustains them. You feel the instrument transform in your hands.

 

Harmonic Blends – use the included foot pedal to shift the positive energy of Vo Power in Sustain mode and the subtractive force of Vo Power in Mute mode between the bridge and neck pick-ups to pull both subtle and dramatic harmonics from the strings.

 

Moog Filter – control the frequency of the built-in, resonant Moog ladder filter using the foot pedal or a CV Input.

 

Moog Guitar Controls

 

Five knobs:

 

Vo Power Knob – Controls intensity of sustain and mute. The knob turned fully CW is full Vo Power and fully CCW is no Vo Power.

 

Piezo Blend Blends the piezo bridge pick-up signal into the guitar's output signal.

 

Harmonic Balance Knob – Controls the balance of Vo Power between neck and bridge pick-ups. (When the Filter Toggle is in "Tone Control" position, this function is moved to the foot pedal and the Harmonic Balance knob does nothing.)

 

Master Volume Knob – Controls overall volume (Moog and piezo pick-ups).

 

Tone/Filter Knob – Adjusts the guitar tone when the Filter Toggle is in Tone Control position; adjusts the resonance of the Moog filters in the two Moog Filter Toggle positions.

 

Three switches:

 

Mode Selector Switch – Switches between Mute Mode, Controlled Sustain Mode and Full Sustain Mode

 

Filter Toggle Switch Switches the Moog Filter between a standard guitar Tone Control – (toggle away from strings), a Moog Articulated Filter – (toggle centered), and a Moog Ladder Filter – (toggle towards strings).

 

Five Position Pickup Selector Switch: Neck, In-phase, Out of phase, Bridge, and Piezo. only. (The piezo signal accessed via the Piezo Blend knob passes through the Moog filter; "piezo only" does not.)

 

Floor Pedal – Function depends on the setting of the Filter Toggle switch.

 

• When the electric guitar's Filter Toggle is in "Tone Control" position, the floor pedal controls the harmonic balance. (Forward = high harmonics, Middle = full harmonics, Back = lower harmonics.)
• When the Filter Toggle is in "Moog Articulated Filter" position, the floor pedal controls the filter cutoff frequency that the articulated filter starts with.
• When the Filter Toggle is in "Moog Ladder Filter" position, the foot pedal controls the filter cutoff frequency.
