Dubstation has been a fixture in dub, electronic, and pop production for nearly twenty years. It emulates the analog bucket-brigade delays of the 1970s and 80s, with their pitch-bending, warmth, and gradual high-frequency loss intact, then adds things those circuits could never do: true stereo dual-time delays, ping-pong, a stereo LFO, and a clean digital looper with overdub and reverse. Sound and Character The bucket-brigade model is the real thing: the high-cut frequency tightens as delay time gets longer, exactly like the original hardware. A low-cut filter trims the bass for the thin echoes of early Jamaican dub. A saturation stage on the feedback path adds analog-style breakup as repeats stack up, and the LFO modulates delay time for chorus, flange, and pitch swoops. Looper and Reverse The LOOP switch turns Dubstation into a clean digital looper that holds the buffer indefinitely and accepts overdubs. This is different from cranking the feedback, which degrades and distorts the signal over time. The REVERSE switch flips the delay memory backwards, and combined with the looper produces reverse loops that hold their fidelity indefinitely.

The MF-104S Analog Delay is a re-invention of Moog Music’s classic Moogerfooger MF-104 analog effects pedal. The MF-104 Analog Delay, introduced in 2000, added a lush, all-analog delay to the classic line of Moogerfooger effects. It incorporated a dual-range Bucket Brigade Device (BBD) providing a range of delay times from 40 milliseconds to 800 milliseconds. Later versions of the MF-104 offered tempo synchronization, and extensive time modulation options via a multi-waveform LFO. Designed by Bob Moog and his engineering team, the MF-104 was a direct descendant of the original Moog modular synthesizers, adapted to process, modulate, and play with inputs ranging from guitar, voice, and synthesizer to any imaginable audio source. The MF-104 Analog Delay has been meticulously recreated as the MF-104S, capturing all of the warm, organic texture and character of the original analog delay circuitry, while adding 21st-century flexibility and ease of use. The MF-104S is an AUv3 effects plug-in that requires a compatible host or DAW to function.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dubstation 2 at 54% against MF's 0%. Dubstation 2 also leads on price ($1.99 vs $14.99) and ratings volume (34 vs 11). MF's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Dubstation 2 costs $1.99 and MF $14.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MF holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 34 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Dubstation 2's written reviews are positive against 0% of MF's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dubstation 2 ships an update every 9 months, MF monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
