To load a preset, turn the MODE knob to the preset number you want to load, then press
and release the PRESET/TUNE FSW. The PRESET LED will light up solid indicating the
current preset is loaded. While a preset is loaded, press and release the PRESET/TUNE
FSW to load the next preset. Repeatedly pressing and releasing the PRESET/TUNE FSW will
continually cycle through the presets, loading each preset along the way. After PRESET 9,
the Ring Thing loads “what you see is what you get” mode, no preset LEDs are lit and the
current knob positions are loaded. Press and release PRESET FSW to load PRESET 1.
While in RM, UB or LB modes, press and hold the TUNE FSW for 1 second or longer and
the Ring Thing automatically tunes its carrier frequency to the note you are playing. This
feature is monophonic, meaning it does not tune to chords, only single notes. The setting
of the COARSE and FINE knobs is no longer valid after tuning with the PRESET/TUNE FSW.
Holding down the PRESET/TUNE FSW while in PS produces no change.
PRESET LED
Located near the PRESET/TUNE FSW, the PRESET LED will light up solid when a preset is
loaded. It will blink rapidly when a change is made to the loaded preset, signifying that a
preset is loaded but has been changed. If this occurs, press and release the PRESET
footswitch to revert back to the saved preset.
BYPASS Footswitch / STATUS LED
The Bypass footswitch toggles the Ring Thing between effect mode and bypass mode. If
the STATUS LED is lit then the Ring Thing is in effect mode. If the STATUS LED is off, then
the Ring Thing is in bypass mode. In Bypass mode, the MONO/Left Input Jack is
connected directly to the MONO/Left and Right Output Jacks.
INST INPUT Jack
The main input jack to the Ring Thing is the INST INPUT jack. The Ring Thing’s input is
mono. The input impedance presented at the INST input jack is 2 M
.
MOD INPUT Jack
The Ring Thing allows for external modulation input through the MOD input jack. Connect
a modulation source and set the WAVE knob to full counter-clockwise to enable external
modulation. The input impedance presented at the MOD input jack is 2 M
.
