Behringer BM-12 Ring Modulator

The Behringer BM-12 RING MODULATOR is a vintage fully analog unit that delivers rich and otherworldly textures in a compact, pedalboard friendly format. From shimmering harmonic shifts to wild metallic clangs, BM-12 opens a portal to untamed soundscapes.

At the heart of BM-12 is a versatile carrier oscillator with a sweeping frequency range that can dial in everything from slow-motion tremolo to piercing robotic tones. An onboard LFO lets you animate the effect in subtle or extreme ways, with independent controls for Rate and Amount. The Mix knob gives you precise control over how much of the modulated signal blends in with your dry tone, while the Drive control let you adjust gain to fit perfectly in a mix.

Whether you’re a guitarist looking to add eerie textures to ambient passages, a synth player pushing into experimental territory, or a producer craving unpredictable modulation in the studio, BM-12 delivers. Use it to make bell-like arpeggios shimmer or turn simple riffs into alien transmissions. With CV I/O on the rear panel, it’s also ready to patch into your modular or semi-modular setup for even deeper exploration.
