Here come the Boogerfoogers!
Back in March 2023 we showed Behringer’s prototypes for a bunch of Moogerfooger clones:
However, there was never a mention of doing the MF-106 Analog Time Compressor – which was never released into production by Moog.
Additionally, Behringer never mentioned the other Moogfooger MF-105 – the MIDI Murf. Until today!
Behringer BM-15M Murf Box
Announcing the new Behringer BM-15M Murf Box. A faithful recreation of the MIDI Murf.
The original Moogerfooger MF-105 MIDI Murf:
At a quick glance, Behringer have reversed the top functions with the bottom. Now, let’s take a look at the back of both:
The behringer has a USB C connector which is additional to the original Moog. The USB C is used to connect to the Guitar Tribe application for control of parameters and firmware update.
Price: $129 (original MF-105 retailed for $599)

Behringer announce more Moogerfooger clones
Further to the announcement of the BM-102 Ring Mod a few weeks ago (see Synth Geekery 194), yeasterday (10th March 2023) – they’ve announced another two via their facebook (links below). They also announced a year ago the prototype of the delay (MF-104) – which they named AD-104. To date, we haven’t seen this emerge. I know that Moog had issues making it because the BBD chip was hard to source.
BM-103 Phaser
At this stage it is just a prototype, but it is modelled/cloned after the MoogerFooger MF-103 12-stage phaser and has identical layouts of knobs, switches and connections. If they do this the same – it will be a great addition as Moog are no longer making it.
BM-101 Low Pass Filter
Again, another prototype, modelled after the Moogerfooger MF-101 low pass filter and has identical layouts of knobs, switches and connections.

Behringer BM-102 Ring Modulator
Behringer have announced 2 a second prototype of their Moogerfooger clones. This one is the Ring Modulator. Modelled after the Moog Moogerfooger MF-102 (pictured below) – let’s check out what we can tell with no further information, videos or anything from Behringer.
As you can see – they both look similar in functionality with the knobs, switches and screen printing showing the same information. It will be interesting to see what is different inside with the electronics.
Even the rear connections seem to be exactly the same. This news may come as a relief for those who have been riding the pain of the hiking used prices of Mooger Foogers. Although, Behringer haven’t indicated how much they’ll be selling these for yet.
Moog recently announced 3 the release of VST versions of the Mooger Fooger FX pedals. I have these and can say that they are good value for money and are a handy tool for your DAW setup. However, if Behringer release the “Boogers” in the low price point – it might be worth considering a hardware purchase again!
This news follows on from an announcement in Mar 2022 about the first Moogerfooger clone the AD104 (modelled after the MF-104) – analog delay:
Price: TBA
