Audiostorm MDK Moogy

The Audiostorm MDK Moogy is a modular, switchable daughterboard circuit: a sweepable low pass filter and wah that attaches to Audiostorm's Grand Classic high gain distortion pedal¹. Rather than being a standalone stompbox, it hooks up to the Grand Classic's EXP / CV port, extending that pedal with filter effects as part of Audiostorm's MDK modular daughterboard circuit system¹.

What it does

The MDK Moogy is part of a daughterboard approach Audiostorm introduced alongside its Grand Classic distortion pedal. The maker describes the MDK system as a modular daughterboard circuit system that hooks up to the EXP / CV port on the Grand Classic¹. The MDK Moogy itself is a modular, switchable daughterboard circuit: a sweepable low pass filter that can also work as a wah¹.

For a player, that means one pedal can cover both high gain distortion and filter duties: the daughterboard is switchable, so the filter can be brought in or out, and the sweep of the low pass filter can be controlled like a wah. It sits in the same territory as dedicated filter pedals and wah-wah pedals, but as an expansion of a distortion pedal rather than a separate unit on the board.

Guitar Pedal X's Stefan Karlsson described the MDK daughterboard system as "a fantastic new MDK modular daughterboard circuit system which hooks up to the EXP / CV po[rt]" of the Grand Classic¹.

The MDK Moogy was offered as a package with the Grand Classic at £199 GBP, as listed in June 2024¹.
