This is a good video too, though it’s not me but one of my co-workers I share the office with.

Another video:

This is a really interesting setup, the guitar is going into a Pocket Metal Muff and then into a DMM. The DMM is set for a medium long delay but its BLEND is set to 100% wet. The Direct Out from the DMM goes into the Ring Thing INSTRUMENT In, the DMM’s effect out goes into the Ring Thing’s MOD input so the delayed signal is the ring modulator’s carrier signal.

The effect is all digital.

How low can the carrier freq go? can it do tremolo, or would you need an external source for that via the mod input?

Push that mother RIIIIIGHT down man!

Is there a projected release date yet? or is it still too soon?

I’m gonna have to start a swear jar or something… (smutty month ahead)

I know the Ring Thing isn’t out yet but nonetheless i still have a question.

I’ve recently seen some impressive videos of the Ring Thing and I’m very aware it can perform some pretty far out/extreme/weird/cool sounds. But can it also perform standard/modest/traditional sorts of modulation too? similar to the memory man/memory boys modulation sounds? or maybe like small clone comparable sounds? I’m in the market for a chorus/modulation pedal and I’m just seeing how versatile the Ring Thing is going to be.

Thanks!

It says on the ad flyer that it can do whammy type bends and detune, plus it has an LFO. LFO + detune = vibrato. + dry = chorus.

Or at least I think that it would. I’d think the memory boy would have a better modulation sound though.

All will be answered by the manual though.

I’m confused as well as you pencil-in as to how all the controls work together, how you choose if your modified filter or rate, or fine or depth. How you choose between ring modulation, upper sideband modulation, lower sideband modulation, and straight pitch shift modes.

To me it seems the preset switch steps you through the presets and if you hold it down it tunes it.

Falipe Sosa hints in the NAMM that you can use the preset switch to switch through several chords like the Zvex Ringtone, and mentions you might just want 3 of those. So I’m wondering if there’s a way to limit the number of presets that you can step through.

The really important feature to be is the pitch shifting. If the pitch shifting is as good as the HOG’s octave bend mode, sign me up.

And the auto-tuning. I’m wondering what the range for the auto-tuning. If I could auto-tune the oscillator with notes that have been pitch shifted way down or way up, that’d be awesome.
