Warm Audio RingerBringer

The Warm Audio RingerBringer at a glance

With the RingerBringer, Warm Audio presents an accurate clone of the Moog MF-102 Ring Modulator, which was designed by Bob Moog himself. By using high-quality components, Warm Audio has succeeded in reproducing the special sound in all its details with astonishing fidelity to the original. The fact that it takes up less space than the original should be very convenient for most people with chronically limited space on their Pedalboard.

In its capacity as a ring modulator, the effect imprints a metallic character on every signal that is sent in. Whether guitar, synth or drum computer, the results are weird, wacky and experimental across the board. If you use a microphone at the input, you sound like the Daleks from Doctor Who. The internal oscillator can be replaced by an external signal, so there's no reason not to ring-modulate two individual outputs of a drum computer. In low mode, the effect spectrum shifts towards tremolo. This sounds really good with strings and Chords and anything with a long Sustain, but here too, experimentation is key! The LFO with sine or square waveform modulates the frequency parameter of the oscillator, instantly creating the iconic effect sounds. The input stage is designed for line and guitar levels and can be overdriven, in most cases this sounds very musical and has a harmonic character.

The connections are like the original: there are four CV/expression inputs for the parameters Rate, Amount, Mix and Frequency. Audio inputs and outputs in mono, a CV output from the LFO and Carrier In and Out. The latter carries the sine oscillator to the outside respectively replaces the internal oscillator with an external signal.
