Behringer has today announced the highly anticipated release of the BM-13 PHASER, a powerful new analog effects pedal poised to redefine classic phaser tones and unlock unprecedented creative possibilities. Described as “your new go-to box of swirling, sweeping, analog goodness,” it is set to become an indispensable tool for anyone seeking to add depth, movement, and vintage character to their sound.
BM-13 PHASER
Hot on the heels of the BM-15M MURF BOX, now Behringer takes on the Moog MF-103 Phaser from the same Moogerfooger series of analog ’90s pedals.
Building on the legacy of one of the most unique and creative phaser pedals of the 1990s, the Behringer BM-13 boasts a true analog circuit, faithfully recreating the warmth and organic feel that only genuine analog processing can deliver.
Its heart lies in a versatile 12-stage phasing circuit, offering an expansive range of sonic textures that can be intuitively switched down to 6 stages for distinct tonal variations.
“The BM-13 PHASER is a true analog beast brought back to life,” explains Adam, a Behringer product specialist, in an exclusive preview. “With its powerful 6 or 12-stage design in combination with its versatile LFO controls, this unit has everything covered – from classic phasers and rotary-style sounds to even ring-mod-esque effects. It’s the ultimate tool for taking your sound to the next level.”
Key Features
- Authentic Analog Circuitry: At its core, this is an authentic recreation, meticulously designed with analogue circuitry to deliver a truly vintage-voiced sound, built for the demands of the modern world.
- Road-Ready, Classic Aesthetics: Encased in a tried-and-tested roadworthy solid metal enclosure and beautifully finished with elegant wooden side panels, and is built to withstand the rigors of touring and studio life.
- Modular-Style I/O for Limitless Creativity: Push the boundaries of your sound with versatile I/O. Control each parameter via an external expression pedal, or integrate it seamlessly with other CV pedals and devices thanks to its Sweep In and LFO Out inputs. This modularity opens up a world of experimental sound design.
A Control Freak’s Dream:
This pedal offers an unparalleled level of hands-on control, making it a dream come true for those who love to sculpt their sound. Dedicated knobs for Sweep, Resonance, LFO Rate, and Amount allow for intricate adjustments.
Musicians can dial in a hypnotic pulse by slowing the LFO down to a leisurely 0.01 Hz, or unleash warbly, out-there textures by cranking it up to a blistering 250 Hz. The addition of a Drive knob adds a touch of grit, while fine-tuning the output level ensures perfect integration into any setup.
The ability to instantly switch between 6-stage and 12-stage phasing further expands the sonic palette, each offering its own unique flavor, dimension, and character.
Plug In and Lose Yourself:
From funky guitar riffs to ethereal synth pads, it is engineered for sonic exploration. Guitarists and bassists will appreciate how it adds motion and character without compromising their core tone.
Keyboardists and synth wizards can drench their patches in lush analog swirl, transforming ordinary sounds into extraordinary sonic landscapes.
Even in the studio, it shines as a secret weapon, capable of imbuing vocals, drums, or entire mixes with instant vibe and warmth. And with its stereo output capability, it ensures your sound stretches wide across any stage or mix, offering an immersive auditory experience.
Price & Availability
The Behringer BM-13 Phaser is priced at $129/£99/€119, which is pretty affordable compared to the Moog original. Love or hate Behringer, this price point could be what makes a lot of musicians order this new pedal.
It is a pre-order just like the MURF BOX, so you’ll need to be prepared to wait until you can play with one.
