A Synth That Defined an Era
First released in 1970, the Minimoog Model D was the world’s first portable synthesizer, making electronic music more accessible than ever. With its all-analog design, rich oscillators, and hands-on interface, it quickly became a go-to instrument for pioneering artists. Geddy Lee was one of many musicians who harnessed its massive sound, shaping some of Rush’s most iconic tracks.
From legendary bass synth tones to soaring melodic leads, the Minimoog Model D became a key part of Lee’s sonic arsenal. Now, in this stunning satin red finish, the Geddy Lee edition celebrates that legacy with a visual nod to Rush’s progressive rock golden age.
Modern Features for Today’s Musicians
While this limited-edition Minimoog remains faithful to the original’s all-analog design, it incorporates several modern enhancements. The hot-rodded VCA circuit offers improved dynamics, while dedicated LFO controls and top-panel CV jacks expand modulation options. MIDI connectivity ensures seamless integration with contemporary setups, and the spring-loaded pitch wheel brings expressive performance capabilities.
A Collectible Tribute to Rush
Beyond being a fully functional instrument, the Geddy Lee Minimoog Model D is a true collector’s item. Each unit comes with exclusive extras, including a 10-inch red translucent vinyl featuring Rush classics “Xanadu” and “Jacob’s Ladder”, a hand-signed certificate of authenticity, and commemorative artwork. This makes it not only a powerful creative tool but also a must-have piece of music history.
