LEDROVER: ANALOG STEREO DISTORTION

The LedRover is a 100% analog stereo diode-based distortion effect from MOE. It originated from our quest for the ultimate distortion effect for the TB-303, finalized after a year of experiments with various components including diodes,

LEDs, germanium, and custom potentiometers. The inspiration for the circuit came from a famous filter resonance design that we discovered uses diodes in the feedback loop, which creates a round sound with a distortion tone that can be aggressive while remaining musical and preserving the character of the original signal. Based on this, we designed two distortion modes for the LedRover using different diode placements. Following extensive calibration for synthesizers and drum machines, we have ensured the effect is suitable for a wide range of applications—from kicks and snares to cymbals, bass, and leads—offering everything from delicate warmth to extreme distortion.

The integrated Tilt filter was born from our understanding that filtering before overdrive is essential for emphasizing frequencies pleasant to the ear. Unlike standard Tilt filters that typically offer a 6dB/Octave slope, we designed the LedRover with a steeper 15dB/Octave slope for both low and high frequency ranges. This ensures the signal enters the distortion with high saturation, allowing the circuit to mangle the sound even further. We selected the reference point for the filter through trial and error across a variety of gear to emphasize mid-range frequencies rather than just extreme highs, providing a flattering response for the distortion circuit.

Additionally, we added an x10 Boost button to push instruments with weak outputs hard into the Tilt filter. This creates distortion right at the entrance of the filter, which can be controlled delicately with the input knob; as you attenuate the input volume, the action of the filter becomes significantly more pronounced, while higher values create a unique op-amp saturation that works in perfect synergy with the diode overdrive. We build the LedRover to the highest standards of reliability and feel, housed in a custom aluminum box with resilient UV-printing and custom potentiometers.

Feature List:

100% Analog Stereo Diode-Based Colorful Distortion Circuit.

Dual Distortion Modes: Two distinct distortion characters.

Custom 15dB/Octave Tilt Filter.

x10 Boost Switch: Push weak instrument signals and overdrive the Tilt filter op-amps for additional colorful harmonics.

Two-Mode VU Meter: Visual monitoring of the wet and dry signals.

Dedicated Input and Output Controls.

Buffered Bypass.

High Standard Build Quality: Custom aluminum box with resilient UV-printing and custom potentiometers.

Compact Form Factor: W: 12cm (4.7") x D: 10cm (3.9") x H: 5.5cm (2.2").

We are very excited to officially debut the LedRover and our beloved Analog Chorus 60 at Superbooth in Berlin, Booth B048. We will have a demo station equipped with two sets of headphones, but you are also welcome to connect your own.

MOE - analog chorus 60 vs Roland JUNO 6 Chorus

video upload by Isak Eliyahu

"This is a very short comparison of the 'MOE Analog Chorus 60' and a Roland Juno 6 Chorus. Both going through a passive switch box connected directly to a RME fireface 800 input."

Was the Roland Juno-6/Juno-60/Juno-106 Chorus Noise Inherent to the Design?

MOE - Analog Chorus 60 vs Ocean wish wish NOISE video upload by Isak Eliyahu

Update: video re-uploaded.

"So many people thinks that the JUNO 6/60/106 chorus came out with build in noise, like it was part of the design. What's really happen is time of use, the more time we use it, the nosier the chorus will be.

I manage to fix few JUNO's in my life and all of them was with noise, some more some less, the owners wanted the noise to be gone, so I found that if I replace the old MN3009 with new old stock MN3009's or the new Xvive MN3009 (same results BTW) the noise is gone.

There are more issues with noise in 6/60/106 but there're not related to the ocean wish wish noise. turn on the volume and hear the differences between old used MN3009 and new never been used original MISTUSHITA MN3009.

MadeOnEarth MOE Analog Chorus 60 - Pedal Clone of the Roland Juno-60 Chorus

videos uploaded by Isak Eliyahu

Playlist: 1. MOE - Analog Chorus vs Roland SH - 101

the MOE - Analog Chorus 60 is my latest pedal effect based on the Juno - 60 chorus with some add-ones.

1. Volume input.
2. Stereo width.
3. Modulation depth.
4. Modulation rate.
5. EXT CV in (LFO, ENV etc).

2. MOE - analog chorus 60 VS Yamaha DX7 and minimoog model D clone
3. MadeOnEarth Analog Chorus 60 VS Dinsync Gilbert

The Dinsync Gilbert is one of the fattest diy synths ive heard. combine the Gilbert with MOE's Analog Chorus 60 and you get a crazy bass monster!

via MadeOnEarth

The Analog Chorus 60 is a perfect clone of the original juno-60 chorus circuit.
It uses 2x "xvive mn3009" and the original Panasonic "2x mn3101" chips (rare parts!), original transistors 2SC1815, 2SA1015 and 2SK30A-GR with the exact same circuit.

Instead of the two buttons with only three rate modes, we added a knob to smoothly control the rate of the chorus, depth of the modulation and the stereo width. (the rate of the original modes is clearly printed around the rate knob for easy recreation of the original rates)

We also added ext lfo/cv input to apply other modulation sources and input gain to accommodate any type of instruments (guitars or synthesizers).
Housing in a high quality aluminum case with durable UV printing and high quality “Alpha” potentiometers.
