Behringer BM-14M

Posted on September 6, 2025September 6, 2025 by admin

Authentic recreation of the Moog MF-104M from the ‘2000s. They aren’t using the same BBD chip, but they claim they’re getting the same sound using one of their own. I’m guessing it is a Cool Audio MN3007. Moog had problems producing the original due to the difficulty in sourcing the original BBD chip.

The bypass switch has 2 functions: the first works as you’d expect – bypasses the effect and allows the original source sound through unchanged. However, if you hold the switch down, the LED glows blue and it allows for the effect to process until you switch it off – which gives you a tail-style effect.

Overview & Features

The BM-14M is Behringer’s analog Bucket-Brigade-Device (BBD) delay pedal, designed as an homage to the Moog Moogerfooger MF-104M Super Delay. It offers:

Up to 800 ms delay time (some listings say 1.2 s max, likely with alternate mode)
Drive control for saturation/character
Spillover mode for smooth transition of delay trails on bypass
6-waveform LFO with Rate and Amount controls
Tap tempo switch, Effect Bypass, LED indicators
Rear-panel CV/expression pedal inputs, Feedback insert, MIDI In
Standard 9 V DC power input (not included; battery not supported; ~400 mA draw)

The MoogerFooger range was discontinued by Moog Music. However, they are still offering a software solution available as either a VST/AU instrument or use it on your iOS device.
