Originally priced as one of the more expensive monosynths on the market, the Moog Messenger is taking a big cut for Black Friday and now is the right time to invest in the next generation of Moog analogue synthesis.
There was a lot to love about the first big proper synth release in the InMusic-owned Moog era when we first saw it at Superbooth. The big additions that caught our attention were the inclusion of some West Coast flavour in the form of wavefolding and audio-rate modulation, adding a lot more sonic character to the tried and tested, classic Moog sound.
- Get up to $200 off the Moog Messenger at Sweetwater this Black Friday
- Save $90 on the Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer
- Pigtronix Constellation is nearly half price at Sweetwater, now just $99
When we first reviewed Messenger back in June, the general consensus was that it was a bit on the expensive side for a monosynth. I mean, you could’ve nearly bought two Novation Bass Station IIs for the same money.
Of course, Messenger has a bit more about it than a lot of the competition. That unmistakable Moog sound, for one. And aside from the Buchla-esque wavefolding, the modulation system is a creative playground. There is, however, one big omission with Messenger: there are no onboard effects.
Which is why this Black Friday is the best time to buy a Moog Messenger because with $200 off, you’ll be able to put those savings to good use with some of the best pedal deals around.
One of my favourite deals on multi-effects units that I’ve seen this Black Friday has to be the Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer, which is now $90 off at Sweetwater at just $239. This collaboration with Yvette Young incorporates chorus, delay, grain effects and reverbs, so you can use the $200 saved on the Moog Messenger and only need to stump up an extra $39.
However, if that feels a little too steep for you, then you need to check out Sweetwater’s Black Friday deal on the Pigtronix Constellation delay pedal. It’s $80 off at just $99 - bargain!
