Sorry, Dino.

It’s weird. They should, at minimum, give credit. At least, assuming it’s not using your pcb layout. Or, at least, mention the original circuit?

Saw this:

Semi-confused about it. Is it FM on the carrier or a true frequency shift?

(Not really, just got semi-excited because of bad wording).

Still looks like a super nice pedal. It can switch an effects loop pre/post (which is nice for ring mod). Kind pf wish I knew the carrier freq on it.

The slow gear algo has an echo which is kinda cool. At least in a text description haha.

Does anybody run ring mod wet/dry? I have been bewitched by the polarity weirdness when running at subharmonic rates. Thinking that if you run like a 20-30hz carrier into one amp full wet and the other dry so that you get half speed at 50/50 would make for the trippiest tremolo if you move around the room

Frequency shift in stereo. Up to one speaker, down to the other. Weird phaser sounds everywhere!

I do stuff like that when recording though.

When I has a band and we played live the bass player was full frequency and i was like up khz ring modding on guitar. We never played through a PA (well, once, sounded awful) because we were too loud. There was no room mix except where we pointed the speakers. My job as the guitar player was to cut and also kind of cancel freqs out. Sometimes when the two of us were playing together, it made the freqin’ best power noise sound. I can’t explain it. I had to go in the audience because everything was so directional (we had speaker stands and would tilt stuff).

He was running crown power amps into like a bass cab and and PA monitors.

Wish we had good recordings but we were awful at that. We awful most of the time, but we had some magic.

Never figured out how the drummer could even be heard? Drums are the most important part in that mess haha.

Weirdest room with ring mod acoustics was the deep end of a pool. It was a bowl and i think 9 or 10 feet deep. Weird looking up in the audience, but weirder adjusting frequencies to bouncing bowl sound waves. Our bass player had quit by then. Kinda sounded like a bug bandpass filter or something. No idea what it sounded like up top though.

Had to freaking fight my way out of that show because of scenester crap. I think we were top billed?
