Behringer BM-14M Analog Delay Gitareffekt

Behringer BM-14M Analog Delay — Vintage BBD Warmth with Modern Control

The Behringer BM-14M Analog Delay revives the sought-after Moog MF-104M Super Delay from the 1990s as a stompbox pedal. Built around classic BBD (bucket-brigade device) circuitry, it delivers the warm, slightly degraded echoes that defined decades of recorded music. This model is the right choice for guitarists, synth players, and modular users chasing analog character without paying collector prices for the original Moog unit.

What Sets the BM-14M Apart from Other Analog Delays

Unlike most analog delays with only basic time and feedback knobs, the BM-14M exposes its full CV and expression architecture on the rear panel. Dedicated inputs for Feedback, Time, LFO Rate, and LFO Amount let you patch external LFOs or sequencers to modulate delay parameters in real time. The FB Insert routes the wet delay path through external effects and back, opening advanced signal-chain possibilities.

Connectivity and Signal Routing

The rear panel reveals the pedal's studio-pedigree roots, with audio I/O joined by CV jacks, MIDI, and an effects loop.

• Connect your guitar, bass, synth, or drum-machine output at instrument level using the 6.3 mm TS jack Audio Input.
• MIX OUT / DELAY OUT: two 6.3 mm outputs — split dry/wet or isolate the wet signal for parallel processing.
• MIDI In — 5-pin DIN connector for remote parameter changes, clock sync, and 8x time expansion.
• CV/Expression Inputs — three 6.3 mm jacks for Feedback, Time, LFO Rate, and LFO Amount; accepts control voltages or expression pedals.

Front-Panel Controls and Modulation

The control surface mirrors the original Moog MF-104M layout, giving experienced players immediate familiarity.

• Drive: front-panel knob — pushes the input stage into light overdrive for harmonic grit.
• Delay Time: up to 1000 ms — covers slapback to ambient repeats; Short/Long switch offers two distinct ranges.
• LFO Section — 6-position rotary plus Rate and Amount knobs; selects waveform (sine, square, triangle, sawtooth up/down, random) for chorus, vibrato, or warped effects.
• Mix / Output Level — two front-panel knobs blend dry/wet signals and set output volume to match the next stage.

Power and Practical Specs

• Power: 9 V DC, 400 mA — centre-negative barrel connector (5.5 x 2.1 mm); PSU not included.
• Battery Powered: No — mains-powered operation only.
• Footswitches: Effect Bypass and Tap Tempo — true-bypass switching preserves the dry signal when the effect is off.
• Package Contents: Manual — covers MIDI implementation and CV mapping.
