Behringer Intros Bode Frequency Shifter 1630, Eurorack Knockoff of Classic Bode Frequency Shifter.
Behringer has announced that its Bode Frequency Shifter 1630, a Euro-format knockoff of the rare Moog Bode Frequency Shifter 1630 module, is now shipping from its factory.
Like the original which was released in 1974 and was an intriguing and creative part of the Moog Modular system, the Behringer 1630 is designed to shift the entire frequency spectrum of the source signal from -5 to +5 kHz. Using small shifts, it can create subtle stereo phasing effects, while at large shifts, it can create sonic mayhem.
Behringer says that the circuit design is 100% analog and identical to the original, but the module is designed to be manufactured at a fraction of the cost of a full-size Moog format clone of the original module.
The Behringer Bode Frequency Shifter 1630 is now shipping to retailers, priced at $149/£129. The company says that it should be available to pre-order soon from retailers, and in stock in 8-16 weeks, depending on their location
