‘Single Sideband Modulator’. Not sure exactly what it does, but I thing I want one!
:clap:

Wow :clap: , what a surprise! I didn’t see this coming! Looks EXTREMELY interesting, i can’t wait for a demo of it.

And the Deluxe Memory Boy is out too, and has a nice demo!

Good times!

threads merged!  (I wasn’t sure which one to reply to!)

I’m really curious about this.  I’ve wanted to get a second frequency analyzer (one for my synth board, one for my guitar board) for a long time, but now that this is out I’m kind of interested in this.  I’m guessing it is fully digital, so I’m kind of wondering about the sound quality.  If it is analog with digital control, it’s only 9v, which raises questions about sound quality- specifically clean head room, as 9v analog ring mods can be kind of dirty.

I’m taking it the sideband thing allows you to only ring modulate part of the signal, which could be interesting.

I wonder what the mod input is for

Rick Stevenson from Electro-Harmonix writing to tell you that The Ring Thing is amazingly varied with a serious range in creating musical efx to some of the coolest atonal sounds you could every want.

Anyone who is thinking of or looking for a ring modulator need look no further. The program storage is a huge huge plus.

Expression pedal control is so cool. Sending the signal out between two outputs is amazing.

I have watched this pedal develop into one amazing instrument. Try it out !

Indeed I will.  So what’s the mod input for Rick?

yes, this

if i were to guess, i would say it allows you to input an external signal against which the audio signal is modulated. that is, a ring mod works by outputting the summation signal of your audio signal and a carrier wave (you set the frequency and wavehape). instead of an onboard carrier wave, you can input the carrier wave via the mod input (another audio signal, drum track, whatever). the moogerfooger has the same functionality.

not that i haven’t been wrong before ...

that’s what I was thinking, but wouldn’t it thus be labeled carrier?

‘external carrier wave’ has to many syllables for you average ehx user. ‘mod’ is better.

joking. honest!

um… this EHX we are talking about. They called a knob ‘Hazarai’

good point!

at least they don’t call delay time knobs “rate” like some manufacturers!
