Rush’s legendary Geddy Lee just made synthesizer dreams accessible to dreamers like me.

In a groundbreaking collaboration that’s sending waves through the music tech world, Moog Music and Rush’s Geddy Lee have unveiled a special edition Minimoog Model D. Like the human touch in sound design, this synth proves that personality and technology can create magic together.

Standing in front of my first Minimoog at CCRMA, I felt that same childlike wonder Geddy describes. That ‘schlub’ moment resonated deeply – here I was, a classical singer turned tech enthusiast, discovering how three oscillators could paint entire sonic universes. The learning curve was steep, but oh so worth it.

Minimoog Magic: A Synth Legend Reborn

The Geddy Lee Minimoog Model D emerges in a stunning custom satin red finish with metallic flecks, inspired by Lee’s iconic Grace Under Pressure tour setup. This isn’t just any synth – it’s a collector’s piece featuring the special ‘Starman’ logo.

Each unit comes with an exclusive rush-themed bundle including a red vinyl featuring Xanadu and Jacob’s Ladder, plus a hand-signed certificate of authenticity. The modern upgrades are thoughtful: a hot-rodded VCA circuit, dedicated LFO controls, and MIDI integration that bridges vintage charm with contemporary needs.

Priced at $5,499, this masterpiece is exclusively available through Reverb (US), Andertons (UK), and Thomann (EMEA/Germany). Lee’s journey from ‘squeaky’ Taurus pedals to Minimoog mastery mirrors many musicians’ growth, making this release particularly meaningful.
