Anyone here have a favorite Ring Modulator ?
I'm talking analog stompbox, not software.
I'm thinking about getting another. I use to have a Colorsound and the DOD Gonkulator. The Gonkulator sucked, so I sold it. The Colorsound was traded a while back.

I plan on using it with analog synths and sound processing (tape loops, samples etc).
I'm thinking either the Moogerfooger or Electro Harmonix.
Anyone have experience with these or a recommendation on another brand ?

    The Alesis INEKO has a cool ring modulator in it.

    It's not a sophisticated pedal (you can't save presets)
    but it does a great job.

    They also made it in a one space rack version called the
    AKIRA.

    The Moogerfooger (got bless Robert Moog and may he rest in peace)
    is awesome but really pricey in the $300 USD range.

    I'd give my left nut to have any of those pedals but they are out of my league, financially.

      Frostwave makes an awesome-sounding analog ring mod pedal. Check them out!

    The Moog is absolutely amazing. Huge range of sounds and control capabilities.

    I have one in my Boss GT5 and use it quite a bit. Great real time control with that box as well... you can blend it; chop in and out with it for very spliced sounding events, etc.

    Obviously any analog ring modulator will be better than a digital emulation, but I must add that I have a Roland SP808 and the Ring Mod effect in there is killer--this might be present in other Roland rack effects and their 8 track recorders etc.

    In the SP 808, there are assignable knobs and multiple parameters to tweak--you can also copy the effects pattern of another patch onto the Ring Mod patch making for combos that one would not expect.

    I would lean towards teh Electo Harmonix overall.

    Good luck on your quest for the Ring. May it be Mod.

      The all-digital ring mod presets in my Digitech Space Station are all I need, though some think it's limited controls too primitive. If this is true, call me a Spaceman/Caveman.
