Behringer BM-14M vs MoogerFooger Delay Head-To-Head Comparison


In the video, synthesist Starsky Carr compares the new Behringer BM-14M to the device it copies, the Moog MF104M Analog Delay Effect Pedal.


The Behringer knockoff is not an exact clone, so you can hear some audio differences, which Carr covers in the video. You can especially hear the differences when Carr tests infinite feedback.

“Does the Behringer sound like the Moogerfooger?” Carr asks.

Are the differences big enough to matter? Share your thoughts in the comments!
