Geddy Lee Red Minimoog gets a modern spin

Moog teamed up with Rush legend Geddy Lee to create a special version of their famous Minimoog Model D. This red synth matches the keyboard Geddy played during the Grace Under Pressure tour. Each unit sports the Rush Starman logo as a badge on the front and a sticker on the back. Collectors will appreciate these unique details that connect the instrument to Rush history.

Engineers improved the sound by upgrading the VCA circuit for smoother tones and adding modern MIDI connections to link with digital equipment. Every purchase includes a red see-through vinyl record featuring Rush classics Xanadu and Jacob's Ladder. Geddy Lee signs each certificate by hand and adds individual numbers for authenticity.

The package contains a collectible poster and a special manual inside a Kraft gift box. Musicians will enjoy the advanced controls including aftertouch sensitivity and a separate LFO. These updates allow more expressive playing both in recording studios and on stage. The enhancements make this version stand out from earlier models.

Geddy is excited about the bright red color, which represents an important creative period for Rush. He has always loved custom-colored instruments inspired by car paints. The Minimoog helped him dream big despite being a regular person starting. Its intuitive design teaches waveforms and sound blending through direct experience.

Erik Norlander from Moog Music talked about how the Minimoog shaped music across all styles for over fifty years. He described working with Geddy as honoring his influence on progressive rock with Rush. The special model celebrates both the history and future possibilities of the instrument. It connects players to the innovative spirit of inventor Bob Moog.

You can buy the Geddy Lee Minimoog Model D from three main sellers, depending on your location. Americans find it at Reverb, British customers at Andertons, and Europeans through Thomann. The price stands at $5499 for this limited edition instrument. Each unit represents a piece of music history.
