::: Moog Rogue Power Upgrade :::
It's a tech kinda week. We have a few communal instruments that we have bought as a band over the years. This is one that has been all over the place. It's seen many US shows, East and West Coast, and even to the UK ( TWICE! ). You should have seen the insanely ugly power adapter from European to US power duct taped to the awful moog wall wart. We probably went through 3 of those crap power supplies over the years as they always get munched on stage. I guess thats why everyone eventually does the internal power supply mod for the Moog Rogue. Here's the breakdown:
1, This mod adds a standard IEC jack so that you can just PLUG IT IN!
2, We are adding a 120VAC to 24VAC transformer ( BONUS: the DC rectifiers and other power supply elements are actually in the Rogue already )
3, We are adding a fuse to protect the peeps and the circuit as there will now be 120VAC in the box ( i settled on a 200ma slow blow or mdl fuse ).
4, The transformer is wired to the place on the board where the power input jack was so you can still turn it on and off.
