"It’s a thrill to see the Minimoog Model D in that stunning red, so representative of one of the most fertile periods in Rush’s creative history”

ICONIC SOUND QAULITY

Originally released in 1970, Minimoog Model D was the world’s first portable synthesizer and served as the archetype for all electronic keyboards that followed. The all-analog instrument gained acclaim for combining the colossal sound of the 1960s Moog modular synthesizers with the accessibility of pre-wired modules—meaning that it could be played instantly and intuitively with no patch cables required. It was quickly embraced by a diverse roster of performers, including Rush frontman Geddy Lee who enraptured generations with their unique brand of prog rock.

CLASSIC ELECTRONICS WITH MODERN TOUCHES

In addition to Geddy’s signature red finish, this model of the Minimoog offers a hot-rodded VCA circuit, dedicated LFO controls, top panel CV jacks, spring loaded pitch wheel and MIDI integration.

A UNIQUE COLLECTOR’S ITEM

For musicians and collectors seeking both inspiration and history, the Geddy Lee Minimoog Model D combines the legendary analog sound of Moog with a distinctive aesthetic that honors Rush’s iconic legacy. More than a collector’s piece, this is the most playable and celebrated synth of all time, featuring powerful modern enhancements for today’s music creators.
