Moog Cluster Flux?

Any recommendations on these? 
Are they as premium as their pricetag?

I've had two.

The first one sounded like ass - I was so dissappointed. It was noisy and only seemed to add very wobbly flanger to everything. Getting a chorus sound was difficult.

I returned it and then after a couple of years thought about it again and wondered if it had been broken. Got a 2nd hand one and it is gorgeous. It's quite a liquid sort of sound, the range of chorus and flange available is huge, though as always with the moogerfooger range alot of those sounds are quite whacky but it also does beautiful too.

It's not a pedal that I would advise to buy without testing. But mine is now a mainstay of my board for 2 years.

I love mine. 
It does most of the signature sounds you want then it has that additional Moog factor which takes the conventional sounds to the edge and waaaaaay beyond. 
They work with anything as well. They're not guitar centric at all. Things really come to life when you have a few or the CP-251

Just remember that they are centre positive, weigh about 1kg (I used to have 6 on my board at one point, not fun carrying that up 3 flights of stairs in a pedaltrain hardcase), and they are a bit massive...

but none of that matters because they sound so damn good.

Thanks guys

Also worth considering the (much cheaper and easier for pedal board use) Minifooger Flanger and/or Chorus pedals.
I've got the Flanger and it is rather lovely... plus I got it for a bit of a steal so its worth keeping your eyes peeled.

It’s absolutely mental but does conventional sounds also. Not sure I’d buy one just for guitar though. If you plan on running everything through it like synths, vocals, samples etc. and are a bit of a tweaker then go for it

I'm using it always on with a really subtle chorus. Overkill for something so complex but the circuit sounds amazing. I HATE chorus normally as well. 

Like the look of the mini but lack of a real blend control is annoying.

I got both of those and whilst they do different things, the basic sound is very similar.

I've used it to fatten up string synths and other key sounds. The Moog circuit makes everything sound really warm and nice. It's the same with the delay, midi murf, phaser etc... Well all of them apart from the freqbox
