The Ring Stinger is fundamentally a ring modulator based on the original transformer matrix (and not the ubiquitous modulator chip) for that distinctive vintage ring mod sound and 60’s germanium distortion. This is not your average stomp box however and uses concepts that are more akin to modular synths than effects pedals. To get the most out of it and appreciate its hidden depths it is absolutely essential to read and understand the manual, which we have taken, great care to write! The extended features of the String Ringer give it such numerous sound possibilities that it would be foolish to attempt to do them all justice here. We are therefore NOT providing sample settings (so please don‘t bother to ask) but relying instead on an understanding of the principles involved allied to some pant-curdling experimentation. There are nevertheless some hints and tips provided at the end. If you want to busk it that's fine (the pedal is fairly idiot—proof and you'd be hard pushed not to get a sound) but just don't expect us to explain what‘s going on.
