"I
think it has been said before, but this is probably the
best ring modulator you can buy right now, or perhaps
ever."

"The
best sounding ring modulator I have ever used, and I searched
long and hard before I found the right one. Not only can
you mix your input with a carrier signal produced by the
pedal, you can also mix one input with another.
This allows you to modulate a guitar with a keyboard,
or a bass with a drum machine. This produces some really
'out there' sounds"
Keith E Stetson, Philadelphia, PA |
The Blue Ringer v2 is a killer effect. Like The Resonator,
It's a quality item: well-built, sturdy as hell, and affordable.
I have both a DOD Gonkulator and a Electro-Harmonix Frequency
Analyzer, but The Blue Ringer v2 is a much better effect
pedal, more versatile and expressive.

"The blue ringer has pretty much every feature you would
want in a ring modulator. It does things that ring modulators
in multi-fx units and software could never touch.
It has the versatility of most synthesizer module ringmodulators,
but in a easily stompable unit. Great for live use.

THE BLUE RINGER V2 - dual input Ring Modulator with voltage control
"I like John Coltrane, Radiohead, Aphex Twin, Bjork, if you want to play big, then think big -- don't imitate others, figure out how to make others want to imitate you. I suggest buying a strange pedal like a ring modulator even before a standard distortion or delay pedal,
don't fall in line. " read the rest of this Blue Ringer V2 Harmony Central Review
>> WHAT IS IT ?
The Frostwave Blue Ringer V2 is a Ring Modulator.
A Ring Modulator uses an internal oscillator and balanced mixer to generate new harmonics that correspond to the sum and differences of the frequencies of the input signal and the local oscillator.
For example if the input signal from
a guitar or keyboard is 800 cps and the local oscillator is
at 600 cps then the output will be two frequencies of 200
and 1400 cps.
The Frostwave Blue Ringer V2 can take two inputs and output the sum difference of the two frequencies. It has can be controlled using an expression pedal or other control voltage device like a Frostwave Spacebeam.
>> WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE?
It
can give your instruments an 'unmusical' avante
garde tone
The first use of Ring Modulators was by
avante garde composers in the 1950's, hence
it has found itself in such a wide variety of
experimental electronic music.
.
Once you familiarise your self with what a Ring
Modulator sounds like you will hear it everywhere.
Bands like Autechre modulate alot of there
drums via ring modulators creating a beautiful
metalic drumloops ( almost like a jamacian
steele drum with a slightly more synthetic timbre).
Band such as Radiohead and countless others
are putting ring modulation
into their recordings.
Ring Modulation is a distinct incredibly
versaltile effect that can be used creatively
on almost any instrument.
One of the most classic examples is it's use as
a vocoder like effect on voice.
The ring modulator was used as the voice of
'The Daleks' on the cult Sci-fi British
TV show Dr Who.
You can hear the Blue Ringer V2's voice effects
below.
Primus
used ring modulation on their guitars in the original
South Park theme song.

Wayne Eagles on using the
Blue Ringer V2 with an electric guitar
Generate the most intense tremelo effect imaginable
At very low oscillator frequencies, the Blue Ringer V2 acts
as a tremolo, with the depth controlled by the 'balance' knob.

>> HOW DOES THE BLUE RINGER COMPARE TO THE OTHER RING MODULATORS OUT THERE..?
"I was looking for a good affordable ring modulator and this one fits the bill. Its the same price as the EH with more features and about half the price as the big briar. It sounds great with guitar, drum machines, theremin...whatever. I especialy like being able to ring mod two signals together and not just one signal and the carrier signal."

"Paul Perry is a really nice guy who's always been very responsive to any of the dumb questions I've asked him. He's responded by the next day, which is all I can ask from a person who lives on the other side of the world. I'm not the most technically savvy person by a longshot, and he's helped me to understand a few of the ins and outs of the box. He obviously is very enthusiastic about what he does for a living.
In addition, you get a three-year warranty, I believe."

I purchased this over the net. It took about two weeks to get it (from Austrailia). I've had it a couple weeks. These people are way cool. Professional yet unpretentious (a hint of tannin and a strong bouquet). ROCK and ROLE DUDES!
