These techniques can be combined, giving you crazy sputtering textures that react to every nuance of your performance.<\/p>\n<p>As you might expect, the BM-17 leans heavily into experimentation. Behringer describes it as an invitation to \u201cforget what you think you know about what a pedal should be,\u201d and that ethos is reflected in the sounds on offer. Depending on how it\u2019s set, the pedal can deliver thick fuzz-style distortion, snarling harmonic layers, or full-blown modular-style synth tones.<\/p>\n<p>Around the back, the BM-17 offers extensive I\/O for CV and expression pedal control, along with dedicated outputs for the envelope follower and oscillator. This means it can integrate with modular systems or other CV-capable gear, effectively transforming from a pedal into a compact analogue sound module. The unit is also housed in a compact, rugged enclosure designed to withstand life on the road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEssentially, this is the voice of a synthesizer captured and crammed into a box like an unwilling genie but instead of granting you wishes it will grant you insane sounds that will make your neighbours think you\u2019re being abducted by aliens,\u201d says Behringer. \u201cWhether you\u2019re a modular wizard, synth freq, or a guitarist craving chaos, the BM-17 opens up new worlds of sonic possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Priced at \u00a399, the Behringer BM-17 Frequency Box is now available to pre-order.
