Vintage analog filter character
The BM-11 uses a true analog circuit design, providing smooth low pass filtering with an organic, musical response. It offers a switchable 2-pole and 4-pole configuration, making it suitable for gentle tone shaping or steep, dramatic filtering effects. This makes it a flexible creative tool for both subtle sound enhancement and full experimental filter sweeps.
The resonance control allows musicians to emphasise frequencies around the cutoff point, ideal for creating sweeping electronic textures or adding presence to instruments. This design gives players access to classic analog tones without requiring bulky vintage gear.
Envelope-based expression
Built-in envelope control responds to the dynamics of the input signal, automatically adjusting the filter to create expressive movement without external modulation sources. This feature gives players dynamic control over their sound, perfect for funk-inspired guitar lines, evolving synth pads or expressive bass effects.
The envelope section works in harmony with the cutoff and resonance settings, making it easy to create evolving textures that respond naturally to playing dynamics. It’s an easy way to add motion and interest to live or recorded sound.
Flexible external control
USB and MIDI connectivity open up further creative potential, allowing integration with DAWs, controllers and other digital equipment. This makes it easier to automate filter sweeps, sync effects with tempo or control parameters from external hardware. The expression pedal input provides an immediate, tactile way to manipulate the filter in real time, enhancing live performance control.
These control options make the BM-11 a good choice for hybrid studio setups, where analog tone shaping needs to work alongside modern MIDI-based systems.
Drive and tonal shaping
The BM-11 features a drive control that adjusts input gain, adding warmth, edge or grit to the processed signal. This allows users to customise the character of the filter output, from clean and smooth to rich and harmonically enhanced. It’s particularly effective for making filter effects cut through dense mixes or adding texture to solo instruments.
Combining drive with resonance and envelope settings enables a wide range of creative results, from subtle vintage-inspired tones to aggressive, resonant filter sweeps suitable for electronic and experimental genres.
Compact and rugged design
The pedal’s sturdy construction ensures reliable operation on stage and in studio environments. Its compact size makes it easy to fit into crowded pedalboards or desktop setups, while its rugged casing withstands the rigours of transport and frequent use. Designed for musicians who need performance-ready gear, the BM-11 offers professional features in a portable package.
Its ability to pair with other pedals further expands creative potential, making it a versatile addition to any musician’s effects toolkit.
