- MODES -
The Ring Thing has 4 modes to choose from:
Ring Modulation (RM), Single Sideband-
Upper Band (UB), Single Sideband-Lower Band (LB) and Pitch Shift (PS). Each mode gives
the musician a different sonic palette to work with. In addition, each mode changes the
function of some of the Ring Thing’s knobs. In this section we will describe each mode and
the functionality of the knobs that change with the mode.
Press and release the MODE knob to cycle through the four modes.
Below is a table displaying the function of each knob as it relates to the selected mode.
Arrows indicate the function that occurs as the knob is turned to or towards the extreme
knob position in that direction. You will notice some knobs, such as BLEND, do not change
with the different modes while others, such as WAVE and FILTER/RATE have functions that
are mode dependent.
MODE DESCRIPTIONS
RM: Ring Modulator –
This mode is a standard Ring Modulator. In addition to dialing in
the ring modulator’s carrier frequency, the Ring Thing allows additional control over the
tone of the effect with a low pass filter (FILTER/RATE knob) and gives the musician a
choice of 5 different modulation waveforms (plus the ability to use an external waveform).
An optional expression pedal can also control the carrier frequency. Set the BLEND knob
wherever you like for your ideal wet/dry mix.
