Behringer BM-17 Frequency Box – analog synthesizer effects module

Behringer is expanding its BM pedal range with a clone of the Moogerfooger MF-107 FreqBox. The pedal is suitable for electric guitar, bass guitar and synthesizers.

The new pedal contains an analog voltage-controlled oscillator and an envelope circuit. The VCO and envelope let users create distinct effects based on an analog synthesizer architecture. The product creates aggressive, harmonically rich synth tones and provides smooth transitions between triangle, sawtooth, square and pulse waveforms. A VCO sync switch locks the oscillator to the input signal for sharp sound textures.

Other controls include FM Amount, which adds a ringing metallic character, Drive and Mix. Control voltage (CV) connections allow interaction with external equipment. These include Frequency, Wave, Env Amt and FM Am CV inputs, and Env, Osc and Mix outputs.
