hey, that looks rad! im looking forward for some videos ASAP

i think that a ring modulator is, by definition, single sideband (the audio is summed against a single carrier at a single frequency). the upper and lower sideband control is just a frequency range switch - a slow carrier will provide vibrato effects, while a fast freqeuncy gives ring mod effects. the whammy-style effects are achieved by varying the frequency of the carrier wave, so that the pitch of the output varies accordingly ...

or not.

when does this beast go onsale?!  good job it came out as ive been eyeing up a frequency analyzer for a bit.  would hate to have bought it and then had this released straight after!

Ah, yes this sounds right to me… wiki says that sideband modulation is the amplitude modulation used in radio signals

so is this the big brother/cousin to the ring modulator? it has blend, filter, and fine as common variables. the rm means ring mod im pretty sure, and i guess ub and lb means upper/lower(side)band. “High quality whammy style effects with expression pedal” does that mean

i would really love that. does anybody know what this “Single Sideband Modulator” means?

Wait the Ring Thing does harmonies? :O
If so I’m buying it ASAP.

I’m gonna take a stab in the dark guess here that when you play a note, press and hold the tune footswitch and the carrier auto-tunes to the note you are playing?!!!

I must hear a demo of this right now!!

I’m sure there will be a namm youtube video around soon….. everyone keep their eyes open!

I need a ring-mod always thought about a frequency analyzer, but now I am waiting for some demoes of this 1. Makes me very curious.. Is it completely digital or is it a hybrid?

again, my opinion is easily worth what you pay for it, but it is probably easier to do a ring mod analog than digital. presets, etc. , are digital, audio path analog.

I think it would sound great on voice ??

I guess the pitch-shifting part will also be digital, but that’s just logical I think..

dunno, what ring mods do is pitch shift - take a 110 hz carrier wave, combine it with a 440 hz audio signal, and you get a 330 hz output - that’s a 330 hz pitch shift done analog. what is prolly digital is the control of the carrier wave to track the audio signal so that the pitch shift tracks.

a whole lot of supposition on one picture of a pedal!

Well, I am curious what the staff has to tell about this!
