Loopstation vs the Moogerfooger analog delay

YouTube via RothHandle
"Today I came to the studio after dinner so I only had a handful of hours to work...so I decided to do some rough mixes on the Wendy McNeill stuff. After I was finished with that I had some time over and decided to make some films highlighting some of the filters and effects of the studio.

To simplify things I recorded four different sounds into the Boss loopstation.

1. A telecaster small picking thing.
2. A korg KR-55 drum machine.
3. A linguaphone course in english
4. Mellotron clarinets.

These were then treated through different pedals and filters...

If you despite these films want to find out more about the studio where they were filmed...please stroll by www.roth-handle.nu for more info.

Thanks for watching,

Mattias"

Anyone know if any of the filter design made it into the SEM? Curious how they compare.
