Do they play nice with modular setups? I'm just curious if it would be necessary to run one through an attenuating module like the Doepfer 138d?
They do! Most not only have a Drive (input volume) control, but also an Output volume. They have plenty of headroom for the modular.
Actually, let me rephrase that...they have plenty of headroom for the modular if it's outputing an approximately line level signal.
I can't remember ever taking a line directly from an OSC on the modular...I typically had it going through the Doepfer A-130 exp VCA with the Output set at 7 and the input also @ 7. I'm pretty sure that's approximately unity gain.
Either way, the foogers are designed to accept higher output signals; not just guitars.

i swapped my mf-101 for an motm 1490 due to signal level problems.
to get a good clean sound, i'd have to severely attenuate the 10v p/p modular vco signal before going into the mf-101 (otherwide i'd get hideous distortion with the red light on all the time), and by the time the filtered sound came out of the 101 is was WAY lower than modular level (and even some line level signals), and i'd have to use a preamp to get the gain back up again.
although it didn't sound that bad doing this, it was a LOT of hassle to patch that way every time. the 1490 has no trouble withmodular level signals.
this may or may not bother you, and i have no experience with the other moogerfoogers.

I'm heavily considering the Freqbox (I want something that's going to cross-modulate and totally fuck up my sound... and the Dual Cyclotron won't be available again until the summer). I may as well get the crossfader module with it, because I have a Line 6 DL4 unit I could also use with it.
Do you guys know of any other modules similar to the Dual Cyclotron or the Freqbox? I know that those two aren't quite the same, but they appear to me to work on the same principle.

They aren't really close *at all*. The FreqBox is designed to process audio signals (but of course it has additional features too) where as the Dual Cyclotron is a (crazy) voltage generator and not an audio processor.sgnhh wrote:Do you guys know of any other modules similar to the Dual Cyclotron or the Freqbox?

Ok sure, you might patch an audio signal into the External IN on the Cyclotron...but that's about as close as they can get...which is still very different.
If you haven't seen the video I did on the DC, check it out.
