Behringer released the BM-15M Murf Box on June 27, 2025, priced at $1291. The pedal is a clone of the Moog MuRF (Multiple Resonant Filter Array), a filter pedal Moog launched in 2004 and discontinued in 20181.

The BM-15M is designed to add movement to a guitar signal through warping filters, selectable patterns and modulation1. It has eight filter sliders, six dials and two mini-switches1. The dials are Envelope, for staccato or legato-style transitions between filters, Mix, Rate, Drive, Pattern and Output1. The mini-switches toggle the LFO on and off and switch the frequency range between Bass and Mid modes1. There are 12 dynamic patterns, and the eight-band resonant filter suite is said to "dramatically alters the sound"1.

The pedal is MIDI-compatible for syncing to the beat and accepts an expression pedal1. Connections include tap tempo and stereo signal splitting, plus a USB-C port for a supporting app that includes an integrated pattern creator1. Behringer kept the wooden side panels and black interface of the original but flipped the dials and sliders around1. Guitar World describes the pedal as "a box full of analog circuitry and rich harmonic saturation"1.

"The Behringer BM-15M Murf Box is out now for $129."

Guitar World notes that Behringer has faced criticism in 2025 over its cloning practice: in February the maker of the Mu-Tron III said Behringer was "assimilating the history of Musitronics as if it were their own," and Klon Centaur creator Bill Finnegan filed a lawsuit against Behringer owner Music Tribe1. A separate Gearnews article, published July 2, 2025, described the pedal as a recreation of the MF-105M MIDI MuRF and said it was "in production and arriving soon in stores"2.
