I think that is a spin fv-1 based one. There is a newer version that is analog.

Good find!

If only we could get our hands on that mem chip and pop it in a bit quest.

Pretty sure the dude that made that is Peruvian and moved to Sweden.

He used to make some cool stuff but only real work review I've read was pretty bad. I always dug that stuff though (could be Peruvian bias though).

Good find!

I told my wife (a Peruvian) about the Zebranalogic move a while back and she said, "Makes sense...Peruvians like blondes". Haha.

He used to have a whole bunch of good information on the Lima noise scene and it's roots on his website. Always seemed cool to me. I think musictoyz used to carry his stuff.

The internal power supply is weird...he'd have to test it on a step down converter.

Now you're making me wonder if Los Saicos ever used a ring modulator in any of their songs. :snax:

Ed Sanner quote I just noticed in your signature for the first time! Ha!

I introduce Los Saicos to every Peruvian I meet haha. It's weird that they kind of glossed over the long history of Peruvian rock (the music kind....uhhh, not the other kind). Then I show them my Peruvian punk collection and they get offended (this one 7" cover triggered my kinda brother in law).

Los Saicos don't need no ring mod....they've got the fury!

That ring stinger clone is pretty...

I've been seriously digging the ring modulation effect added in the latest Zoom MS-70CDR firmware update. The controls and capabilities are pretty basic, but my typical r-mod needs are limited. It blends with external gain far better than the onboard bitcrusher and almost sounds more like a sample rate reduction at higher frequency settings. Though the Vitruvian Mod has more delightfully quirky pitch shifting capabilities, it has officially been replaced.

I bought it a little over a year ago cause, "I thought it looked cool". The plan was to run my guitar and KRAP ODYSSEY through it.

The KRAP already has an awesome ring mod. So I could crank the ring mod in the mixer and ring mod through the ring mod.
I'll call it...ring dings!
