Behringer BM-15M Murf Box
Behringer · pedal
The Behringer BM-15M Murf Box is an eight-band resonant filter sequencer modeled after the Moog MuRF (Multiple Resonant Filter Array) pedal. Eight resonant filters span the guitar frequency range and a built-in rhythm sequencer animates the filter array across 12 dynamic patterns. A pattern selector and controls for Filter Frequency, Resonance, Mix, and Envelope Speed shape how the filter sequence responds to the input signal and evolves over time. Compatible with guitar and synthesizer. 9V DC power. Priced at $129. Guitar World called it a box full of analog circuitry and rich harmonic saturation.
