btw, do you still do ring stinger clones?

No plans right now for RS clones, or really any clones, but as I am a huge ring modulator fan, it's definitely not inconceivable to think we'll have an original design which can do all kinds of over-the-top ring modulation with unique features and gnarly sounds. The Ring Stinger is an amazing unit, but believe it or not, even with all of its controls, it always felt a little limited to me, since it could never do a clean ring mod sound. It would be pretty interesting to do something that could be as fat and grimy as a diode ring mod, but with the flexibility to get clean and bell-like (plus with the usual IE touch of controls you don't see in other ring mods...).

Cool! That is a great amp. I even used to use the spring reverb on it with bass (just have to connect a spring tank to the RCA jacks, which IIRC are located behind the tubes on the right). It's not as versatile as a dedicated reverb pedal, or even an outboard spring unit, but it can be a lot of fun, particularly if you have a musical situation that can give the bass a little room to breathe.

You can disable the envelope following completely on the Deluxe, by turning Sensitivity down. So if you wanted to just use it as a static lowpass, or with the expression pedal, you can do that.
