Moog brings back the Taurus Bass Pedals

Moog Music is bringing back the Taurus Bass Pedals in a limited edition, and for a limited time only. Long sought after as the ultimate bass synthesizer, used Taurus pedals from the seventies have been known to sell for as much as $5,000.

Taurus Bass Pedals, long requested by Moog customers, have been used by Rush, The Police, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Phil Collins, Asia, Weezer, and many more.

Preliminary specifications include:

- 100% Analog Sound Engine based entirely on original TAURUS I circuits
