Fuzzhugger absynth
Feeding them a harmonically complex wave just gets you a whole buncha sums and diffs that you weren't asking for. And in the synth world, you can actually feed the thing a pure sine wave.

Sounds VERY gronky.Īs well, ring mods are a child of the synth world. Jeff Beck has a very characteristic ring-mod tone that he uses often, produced by light-fretting the 3rd or 4th fret on the low wound strings and coaxing a false harmonic out of them. This is especially disorienting for the player if you can't mix the RM to the background and the clean to the foreground. If the modulating frequency is too high, then the sum and difference have diddley squat to do with what you're playing. The trick to ring mods is that the modulating frequency has to be low so that it sounds sort of pitched. I prefer the sort of weird that makes me play differently. There's "weird" that changes your guitar sound in unusual ways, and then there's "weird" that's just a bunch of noise and has very little to do with what you're playing. After a bit of tinkering with it, I can see why. One of the former members here (who might still be a lurker) was kind enough to send me his 4MS Atoner ( ), that I gather he had lost complete interest in. I have to get it working again, and boxed up, but the Maestro Sample-and-Hold clone I have makes some interestingly oddball sounds. I have a similar sort of thing on my Alesis Phlngr. The ToneCore Liqui-Flange has some interesting sounds to it, one of which is a "random" modulation that is essentially a sample-and-hold-controlled flanger. Not the sort of thing you could use very often, though, but interesting when it happens. It can produce some normal sounds, as well as some nice octave-up sounds.īut at its weirdest, if you push it hard with the D+ portion, it "implodes", collapses, or whatever, and takes a few moments to bloom back up to normal level. The D+ provides the "front end" of the Scrambler. I have a combination Ampeg Scrambler and modded Distortion+ in one box.
