Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Synthesisers
yes the Little Phatty has possibly the worst name of any synth ever BUT that sad fact is immediately more than made up for by its incredible sounding analog signal path. Yes the sub 37 is definitely an upgrade and I eventually plan on purchasing one of those as well. But the little fatty is often and rightly credited as the synth that brought Moog into the modern era of analog integration with DAWs and was also the last synthesizer that Bob Moog actually worked on before he died. So I think it's an important - maybe even essential in any Moog player / enthusiast's collection. In order to know where you're going you have to know where you've been. I have kind of an obsession with green instruments and have been searching for the last couple years for one of these very limited edition "Toxic Phatty" LP Stage II's to come up on eBay. When it did I knew I had to act immediately. I'm very glad I did. I am enjoying playing this synth immensely and plan to use it extensively both in the studio and onstage. It integrates perfectly into Ableton live and I've been actually using my Push2 two sequence it and play it in ways that could never be achieved with just the normal keyboard on the instrument. so even though it's a 10-year-old design at this point I'm bringing out sounds that nobody has heard yet. That's the wonderful thing about Moog synthesizers in general. No two people will play them in the same way and there really are endless permutations to what you can do with these instruments. This LP S2 arrived exactly as described in perfect working order. Would definitely highly recommend this seller.Read full review

A very intuitive mono synth that gets all the classic moog sounds for a good price, the Little Phatty has a cut-down set of options but is still incredibly powerful, and with a bit of effort you can create almost any sound you want, though I have never hard anyone model real-world instruments with it, nor have I been able. The construction is remarkably solid, with mine showing very little wear for something that has seen gigging use for almost 3 years. The downside is that this thing really is a little phatty and weighs an unbelievable amount for its size due to the metal construction and heavy transformer, and it can feel as unwieldy as a full 88-key synth of lighter construction. It definitely takes up much less boot space though, which is handy (it can't have things stacked on top of it due to its shape though, but you probably shouldn't be stacking on top of a synth anyway. The synth is also great as a midi controller with a competent arpeggiator and full polyphony when controlling another instrument. You can also plug other instruments into it and use the synth's filter to process them. Being a genuine Moog, this thing also has good resale value which is a definite plus (though I would recommend keeping it around because it is quite a unique and utilitarian thing. It's also just plain fun.) Another thing to note is that this is analogue, so you'll be doing a lot of tuning by ear when making patches with two waves. Ultimately, this has the best bang for your buck of any synth I've ever used. Full analogue with good construction, good sounds and a whole lot of life, it punches above its price range by a fair amount. You'll not be getting the control of a voyager or the versatility of an equivalent digital, but you'll be getting a synth that's really good fun and gets some great sounds.Read full review
This is my first analog synthesizer. I needed something to lay down leads that would cut through my mix (Waldorf Blofeld, MPC1000, etc). I have to say that it does the job even better than I had hoped - it just sounds so fat and... well, analog. I did do a side by side comparison at my local music shop to the Dave Smith Mopho keyboard, since that seems to be the primary competitor. While the Mopho is a very nice analog monosynth, it really just isn't as fat as the Moog and to my ear the filter sounds much better on the Little Phatty (it is the classic Moog filter, after all). The Mopho does have advantages in price and quite a bit more configurability. But even that latter is a bit of a drawback, the straight up simplicity of tweaking the Little Phatty is a huge boon, while the Mopho is relatively complex and requires menu diving. One small note about the varieties of LIttle Phatty out there - be sure you ask if it has a USB port installed (rather than just "compatible"), since not all of the Stage II models will have the upgrade. Also ask about the condition of the pitch and mod wheels - they have a thin rubber coating that sometimes wears off with heavy use.Read full review
What a sound....The white model is super epic. I cant say enough about the possibilities....endless BASS!!! I say buy one and get a limited one if you can because they are worth it!!!! 10 stars **********

First off, I love this synth. It's everything I could imagine and more. The capabilities of this thing are pretty much only limited to your imagination. It has some of the dirtiest,lowest bass sounds I've ever heard and It's right at my fingertips. Wish I had a couple of more for backups. I'm sure I will buy another one eventually to use for gigs. Love the analog moog sound, I'll never go digital again that's for sure!
