Berhringer Brings Back Moog MuRF Knockoff With New Name
Behringer has reintroduced the BM-15M Resonance Filter, a knockoff of the Moog MF-105 MuRF pedal.
The pedal was originally introduced as the BM-15M MURF Box, but was shortly later pulled from the market. We haven’t seen any explanation from Behringer on this yet, but it looks like copying the ‘MURF’ name may have been a legal liability.
Like the Moog original, the pedal is designed to let you create resonant filter effects, and to let you animate these effects rhythmically.
Features:
- 8 Filters with selectable patterns
- Based on the Moog MF-105 from the ’90s
- Envelope control
- USB/MIDI control
- Rate control for modulation speed
- Resonance control for enhanced filter effect
- Mix control for blending between input signal and MURF output
- Expression pedal input for real-time control
At least some of the initial batch of Behringer’s MuRF knockoff had noise issues, as documented by Starsky Carr in his A/B comparison. Hopefully this issue was addressed with the name update.
The BM-15M Resonance Filter is shipping now from their factory, priced at $129 outside the US, and $50 more ($179) for US buyers.
