Over the past nine months, since this video came out, I have been trying to get a Moog sound from a Boog. This video is life changing, excellent, amazing. I obtained a 1965 Crossfield Reel to Reel tube (valve) recorder. The signal was sent into the reel to reel, from there I also used a Roland RE-20 Space Echo (floor model) and a Boss CS-3 Compressor, a dbx120 Dynamic Subharmonic Synthesizer. I ended up buying a Moog Subsequent 37, but not before making very beautiful sounds with the Boog. I was never able to get the sounds in this video but came so close at times it was hard to tell the difference. Thank you Matt Johnson. Thank you.
