Members mightysasquatch Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 After 6 months or so of running my guitar straight into my amp with only a Lovepedal Magicvibe in the fx loop, I am designing a new board with a nice mix of pedals that will be set up with a loooper. You people will be the death of my checkbook. I have one song that ends in a freaky wash of noise & squall on the new album I am recording. I used the ring mod in the Boss ME-50 on the album (combined with some other effects), but I want a high quality stand alone ring mod for my board. It will be used to recreate the song live, and maybe for the intro on one other new song. Since it will get used on only 1-2 songs a night (at most), I am not really into buying a $265 Moog ring mod, but is there anything else out there that will do the job well? Thanks!

Members booher Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 EHX Frequency Analyzer wouldn't be a bad choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 theyre all too big. The only one that is reasonably sized is the frantone and its {censored}ing 400.00. The ehx is my favorite sounding one, its definitly the cleanest sounding. I think you should go with the EHX but be prepared to use an adaptor and have a huge pedal for one little part. You could always get somthing like a hyper fuzz and let it be your fuzz and ring mod for that part. Any two notes above the 12th fret sound really ring moddish.

Members camerashake Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 You might want to sent an email to NoiseFX and ask when they'll have more Sirkut Electronics stuff instock. They make a great ring mod - 1590B/MXR sixed box, and very affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BmoreTele Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 I had a Moog Ring Mod for a little while and it made a lot of different sounds. Which specific ring mod sound are you looking for? Tremolo, pitch swings, comb filter, robot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stereotypy Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 if you plan to use it more often in the future.. well, i dig my moog ring mod!!! great pedal with many sounds in it. the ehx is nice but not as good as the moog imo. but i think it will serve you fine!

Members jeverist Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 You might want to check out the Ibanez PM-7, which does a basic ring modulation sound as well as other phase modulation effects. There's some good clips on the Ibanez page.http://www.ibanez.com/accessories/spec.asp?m=19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mightysasquatch Posted December 12, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 So far the EHX pedal sounds interesting..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted December 13, 2005 Members Share Posted December 13, 2005 its really big thats the only problem. Boss really needs to make one in a nice compact enclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
