Ring (and/or Balanced) Modulation for the modulator masses

[penelope tree]

It must be one of the few effects that Mooer and/or the other Chinese manufacturers hasn't cloned yet! I suppose they haven't really attempted to replicate oscillating fuzz pedals either.

Might try one of the mini multi effects or just invest in something a bit larger and more expensive. I've got a Gonkulator but it's pretty limited and I like to use it with guitar.

That was awesome! Marf+296 is some powerful stuff .

I love that one! On my list.

Although I must admit having a mix knob with ring mod is highly desirable. Any other than Randy's Revenge have this (with the same amount of features)?

[Chankgeez]

You mean aside from the Moog MF-102?

Or do you want something smaller than that?

Because the RMA Monobius also has mix, but it's not really much smaller.

Been meaning to try the Wilson Mycelium which also has a mix control.

I'm sure there're plenty others, but those immediately come to mind. Yeah, control over the mix is useful.

Yeah, smaller than the Moog. Love those Moog's but sheesh!

I think more ring mods than not have a mix/blend control.

Dwarfcraft are comin' out with a new Hax. Not sure what size it'll be.

RMA are working on the Polybius. Although, that's sure not gonna be small.

LAL Sick Pitch King Jr. is pretty small.

I think even the Moog MF Ring has a mix on it.

it does. essential control for a ring mod imo

[crochambeau]

Vermona RM-1 has a mix as well, but it comes in a rack enclosure.. and I'm not entirely certain it remains in production.

RMA are working on the Polybius. Although, that's sure not gonna be small.

It is on my mind to start attempting to emulate the miniaturization trend that kicked off in the 1980s, but some stuff will remain larger due to interface.. I expect the Polybius will fall into that class. Offering more compact versions of builds is definitely a blip on my radar.

I plan on seeing how small I can build a Monobius once I am all caught up, the PCB is only 3x3.75 inches - transformer height does offer some interference points though.

EHX Frequency Analyzer has one, my favorite ring mod. That sounds beast with the low filter on and the mix around 40%

[retinal orbita]

The big and small Moog's both have mix controls, even the GONK has one!

IMO now that I own both, you could do really well with the smaller Moog as a basic but incredible entry point. Mix, tone and frequency are just perfect for a no frill ring mod. The bigger one has a ton of amazing features the little guy can't do but for the basics it's a total bang for your buck.

No worries on my part. On a lot of those small pedals the knobs are a little too close for comfort for me.

I'd gladly sacrifice not having a pedal in a small enclosure if all the knobs don't move when I try to adjust just one of 'em.

Small is beautiful, but only when it makes sense. #appropriatetechnology(andallthatgoodstuff)
