Moog amps? Finally, something about this timeline that’s good! Moog’s new Model 112 and Model 210 amps can handle anything you need them to. There’s even Bluetooth.
Moog Amps: Model 112 and Model 210
Funny how this happens. It’s like when two movies about the same thing come out at the same time. Remember when Armageddon and Deep Impact both dropped the same summer? This year we’ve got the musical instrument equivalent of that, with two companies predominantly known for their synthesizers releasing amplifiers. First, Teenage Engineering and the camping-friendly EP-35 K.O. AMP, and now these Moog amps.
Yes, you read that correctly: Moog amps. This is actually not without precedence though. We may remember Moog’s classic output as being synth-heavy (and it was) but Bob Moog actually sold guitar and bass amps through catalogs in the mid-1960s while he was working on developing his modulars.
Today sees the company release two amplifiers, Model 112 and Model 210. Talk about deep impact!
Moog Amps: Model 112
Model 112 is a rehearsal amp with 440 watts of power spread between the 12-inch woofer (400 watts) and the one-inch compression driver with 90-degree horn (40 watts). It offers a frequency range of 40Hz to 20kHz, a handle for carrying and weighs 21.7kg.
Moog envisions musicians using it for band rehearsals, personal floor monitoring and near-field instrument reinforcement.
Moog Amps: Model 210
The second amp in the series is the Model 210, what Moog is calling a performance amp. It features a bi-amp system with 550 watts RMS power (510W woofer plus 40W tweeter), with two 10-inch woofers and the same tweeter specs as the Model 112. The frequency range goes as low as 35Hz and tops out at 20kHz. It also provides a 2.5-way configuration for a balanced frequency distribution.
Although it weighs 31.7kg, you do get a top-mounted carrying handle, side transport handles and removable casters.
Moog has built it primarily for live stage performances to fill a venue, and highlights its road-ready durability and power handling that ensures consistent and clean output over long sets without thermal sagging.
Moog Amps: Shared Specifications
Both models are full-range, capable of handling line-level instruments like synthesizers and drum machines as well as guitar and bass preamps. Additionally, they each come equipped with an on-board four-channel mixer with a microphone preamp on channel one plus a three-band Baxandall master EQ. Nice.
The Moog amps are well-endowed in the connectivity department too, with Bluetooth 6.0 audio streaming, a stereo link for connecting a second amplifier, stereo outputs (XLR and 6.3mm jack) and a stereo headphone out (6.3mm) with its own volume control.
Both amplifiers are covered with Tolex and sport vintage-style grille cloth. Sweet.
Moog Amps: Price and Availability
These remind me of the kinds of amplified mixers you could find in the 1970s. Having all analog signal paths, hopefully they have that vintage sound too. Now if only they had built-in spring reverb tanks!
Both amps are available now at Thomann*. Model 112 costs €769 while Model 210 is yours for €969. They’re also available at Sweetwater*.
