The Moog Modular 15 was built from 1973 to 1981 and it was a complete studio synthesizer in a portable package and this smaller size allowed Michael Boddicker to have this unit delivered easily to various studio sessions while his larger Modular 55 was being packed up at another session across town. The model Modular 15 was also the introduction of the new 921 series oscillators. These revised VCO 921 modules provided more stability with the tuning. The legendary Moog sound truly comes from its 24 dB/oct lowpass filter, which is the 904A module. To this day, no others have come close to improving upon the original Moog filter and its patented ladder design. Give this Model 15 a test drive and see for yourself why this is such a beast in a small package.

Michael used this Modular 15 on Lionel Ritchie’s session for You Are. It was also used heavily on the Cheap Trick albums including, On Top Of The World and Surrender.
