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.

The call

Things and MF both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Things's written reviews are positive against 0% of MF's. Things also leads on price ($6.99 vs $14.99). MF's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 17 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On rating, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
