Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Moog has received a lot of news coverage over the last few months - for better or worse.
Today we are going to talk about Spectravox and as I might be the only synth person on the internet who didn’t get either their CS-80 for suburban dads or totally AI-free music generating Buchla ripoff, I have to resort to the strange one that seems like a more expensive version of that FX pedal they released 20 years ago.
