Moog Taurus I

The Moog Taurus I (Model 205A) is a foot pedal-operated synthesizer from the 1970s.

Mike Rutherford was a primary user of the Moog Taurus pedals with Genesis. He began using them around the time of A Trick Of The Tail in 1975/76, replacing the Dewtron Mister Bassman pedals. He normally used it to fill out on basslines while playing guitar during live shows and recording sessions for much of Genesis' career. As of 2022, Mike still has seven sets of the original Moog Taurus pedals but none of them were deemed reliable. Daryl Stuermer had also used a set of Moog Taurus pedals.

Phil Collins owned a set of Moog Taurus pedals as well - he had one around at his home studio, and used it on songs for Face Value and Hello, I Must Be Going (e.g. "I Don't Care Anymore" and "Do You Know, Do You Care?"). His Moog Taurus was also listed in the program for the Duke tour (1980).
