Home › Forums › Tips, Tricks, Clips, and Pics › CANYON DELAY AND LOOPER TIPS PART 4: Reverse Echo “Clean” Ring Modulation
From Electronic Music Wiki:
A type of amplitude modulation where the input levels of the carrier and modulation signals are balanced such that the original carrier and modulation frequencies disappear totally from the output, leaving only the sum and difference frequencies. The resulting frequencies are almost guaranteed to not be harmonically related, and ring modulation is often used to simulate the sounds of tuned percussion instruments that produce inharmonic frequency spectra, such as bells and chimes. Ring modulation can be a very difficult effect to control, but it can also produce timbres that are difficult to achieve by any other method of synthesis.
For some reason that I haven’t figured out, when you create a comb filter with the Canyon Delay and Looper what you end up with is a pretty decent ring modulator.

MODE: REVRS
FX LVL: 9:00
DELAY: Minimum
FEEDBACK: 12:00
[strong]Playing Tips[/strong]
Set controls as above. Sweep the DELAY knob from about Minimum to 8:00. You don’t have much room here. Increasing or decreasing the FEEDBACK slightly will change the color of the sound. Mix in more dry signal to get a “musical” effect.
