Members Josh33 Posted October 8, 2012 Members Share Posted October 8, 2012 Both seem like great ring mods they both do what i want to do. Both go for about the same in the used market. I have 2 fairfield barbershops and i love their build quality and products... never have had a moog pedal (other than the exp pedal) but its a moog.. The moog has some more options but i love what i hear in the randy's revenge video a little more. Just sounds great So what do you guise think? Some of my favorite demos of each: [video=youtube;ED4ugecZm0Q] [video=youtube;wOcMIsyoiTs] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mmolteratx Posted October 8, 2012 Members Share Posted October 8, 2012 Randy's Revenge is the most bell like ring mod I've ever used, but it's fairly basic. If you want to delve into any advanced functions, Moog is what you want. Otherwise, Randy's Revenge can't be beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alien Posted October 8, 2012 Members Share Posted October 8, 2012 i like randy, i think the moog buffer , bypass, and wall wart quality and size are deal breakers. i like randys clips and aesthetic, big thumbs up for randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mmolteratx Posted October 8, 2012 Members Share Posted October 8, 2012 moog for the trem Randy's Revenge does a great trem as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members |\|\|\ Posted October 8, 2012 Members Share Posted October 8, 2012 Randy's Revenge does a great trem as well. having played the moog in person, i definitely know it gets lusher than what the video lets on. i think the trem on the revenge absolutely pales in comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hangwire Posted October 8, 2012 Members Share Posted October 8, 2012 Depends if the always on drive control will work with or against your setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhuxtable Posted October 8, 2012 Members Share Posted October 8, 2012 You should buy the Moog and buy mine while you're at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members phil.is.bald Posted October 8, 2012 Members Share Posted October 8, 2012 use a lot of ring mod do ya? This. It's all about how much you're going to use it. The Moog is fine and dandy if you want to be mr prog-tronica wanker no #35634 and want to do a bunch of crazy {censored} with loads of CV gear (and don't lie and say you will then don't the only loser in that battle is you). But if that's what you need then get it. Alternatively the Fairfield is a lot simpler and sounds pretty nice n all too and you said you prefer that so... it's your move. Either way you're spending a bunch of money on an expensive pedal that's a ring modulator. Do it if it's the right choice Mr Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted October 8, 2012 Members Share Posted October 8, 2012 also consider the ring thing IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BrentMpls Posted October 8, 2012 Members Share Posted October 8, 2012 Price:290 vs 300 CAD (~307.25) Power Options:Both require adapter, no battery option Size:Moog = boat anchor, RR is smaller but not small bypass:moog = yuck (signal goes thru buffer + drive), RR = TB Circuit control:Moog = tons of options, RR = a lot less options than the moog IMHO when Moog makes stuff, it tends to either be hands down the best sound quality, or at least in the top tier. They also offer almost every circuit control and CV option you could ever want. The problem is everything else, price, size, build quality, power options. When comparing to the RR, the only thing I personal feel the RR takes the cake on is that it is more 'musical' with a guitar than the moog, or any other Ring Mod. It really does a nice job with that, from the demos (I have never played one). I have used the moog. That doesn't mean you can't get that with the moog but it may take more fiddlin'. Circuit control, cv options, price, all go to the moog. RR having True bypass and size are worth noting too! And if you want to sound exactly like the Dr. Who Cybermen or Daleks you will want the moog. Like all of these kinds of comparisons, it usually depends on 'what you are looking for' as they each have pros and cons, but IMHO the RR is just waaaaay too expensive to consider over the moog in any way shape or form. The moog just offers a ton more for $20-30 less. For what the RR offers it honestly should be half the price, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nixhex113 Posted October 8, 2012 Members Share Posted October 8, 2012 I would highly recommend the Moog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Josh33 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks for all of the suggestions guys! Sorry i didn't get a chance to reply.. Had to drive 4 hours to see jack white last night and didnt really have a chance to respond. But yeah.. the Moog seems like the most versatile but i don't see my self using a ring mod very much to begin with. The extra features are cool on the moog but i dont know if i would ever use them. At least not in the immediate future. I think the RR seems like a slightly better bet for me right now until i see how much i use it/like having a ring mod. If i get one used i can always flip it and get a moog used. Who knows though my mind could change tomorrow though haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BrentMpls Posted October 10, 2012 Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 i don't see my self using a ring mod very much to begin with. You may not want to consider the two most expensive pedals that produce that sound in that case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grueller Posted October 10, 2012 Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 also consider the ring thing IMO +1. I've only had experience with the Moog, but I'm impressed by this unit. The presets alone should be enough to make it a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
