How Ring Modulation Actually Works

[@TheSweetFix]

This channel is dead but I still make hardcore gear videos, you can watch them on my new KZbin channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n52lZImuecmSa8U

[@user-rf4vc7mt4d]

rip. imma subscribe to your new channel too then

[@CyberattackWorld]

@@user-rf4vc7mt4d thank you!

[@robertsyrett1992]

You are like the Christopher Walken of ring modulator explanations. Good shit.

[@match8289]

This was actually super educational. When you dialed it up higher and higher from the tremolo!

[@N8oRMusic]

that solo was supercool. Thanks for the video. You explained ring modulation rather well.

[@quadpad_music]

4:16 - This image alone made it all so much more clear to me!!

[@emailpro6389]

the Moog instruction manuals are amazing

[@TheSweetFix]

BTW i have a brand-new gear video up you might enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n52lZImuecmSa8U

[@joedossantos5718]

Best explanation of the how the effect works I’ve heard. Including the bit about speed. Nice.

[@gasolineandwine]

Thank you so much! Been working with synths for years, and I'm still wrapping my head around stuff like ring mod, your video helped me. Also, loooove that guitar solo at the end.

[@TheSweetFix]

thanks man. this channel is dead but i still make videos just like this one, solos and all, check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHiUln-qjL6or6c

[@BrewerShettles]

Great video and guitar solo!!!!! Expanded my universe!

[@CyberattackWorld]

thank you! I'm the guy who made this video but I switched to putting pedal videos on my new youtube channel (from which i am writing this comment), so if you want more of this kinda stuff that's where to look

[@HeelBJC]

I can't even fathom how good this video is at explaining this effect in terms idiots like me can understand. Seriously awesome video

[@ob0-china]

3:35 lol your voice harmonized with this A chord 6:12 explained everything, thanks for this video and good playing too!

[@Toby678]

A big THANK YOU for showing the pedal in a musical context (very cool btw)! Demos of oddities like this are much more useful if they include examples of how to use them in music, like yours did.

[@ivananderson3853]

thanks man

[@miketheperformer5972]

I always wondered what it would be like if Mitch Hedberg gave sound design tutorials. And now I know. 😂 Seriously though, the Jackhammer analogy was really helpful.

[@ViktorLongoVideo]

That solo was sick

[@TheSweetFix]

Thanks dude. Sorry for the late reply, but this channel is dead. Check out my newest gear video over here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n52lZImuecmSa8U

[@underground_man]

This video was so awesome. Keep doing what your doing! Loved the explanation, the solo, and the accent. Liked, subscribed and shared!

[@TheSweetFix]

Jacob Morris The accent is the key.

[@mouk0u]

dude awesome work on the explaining thing AND in the playing thing at the end. Bravo!!

[@jeffbeck6501]

Great job dude. And you clean tone was also great.

[@JimAtwood]

I saw one of these down the street in a used shop here in Japan for about $175. I'm tempted to pick it up and your video helped quite a bit about understanding how the Moog MF-102 can be used. It's been sitting in the glass case for almost 3 months so I figured it was because it wasn't any good or perhaps more realistically people just did't understand how to use it. Thanks again and Happy Holidays.

[@TheSweetFix]

Definitely get the pedal! It will inspire new ideas for sure. Glad the video was helpful.

[@mr_don_rowe]

I love the technical explanation behind this. I'm a long-time guitarist who's been getting into synthesis, so this kind of thing is right up my alley. P.S, love the poster of the infamous Trent Reznor fishnet photo.

[@TheSweetFix]

Right on.

[@natjes6017]

Wow, this really explained a supercool, ultra complex pedal, so it sounds easy :) Also great playing plus a great vid. Gonna look into your band.

[@tehJoe11]

Great video. Really good explanation and good example of how to use it in a musical way!

[@TheSweetFix]

Joe Wilcox Thanks!

[@blainebillingsley]

You're my new favorite guitar player! Great video

[@TheSweetFix]

Thanks dude. This channel/band is dead but check out my project, Cyberattack: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2KXZoJjetCria8

[@dant.3505]

Your explanation was right on. I understood and followed it made a lot of sense.

[@TheSweetFix]

Thanks! BTW, this channel is mostly dead but I still make hardcore pedal videos over here now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n52lZImuecmSa8U

[@mrbsred1]

Excellent video!

[@EnricoDePaoli]

Great tutorial video. Nice music, too. Congrats!

[@ohoganroad]

Great video, many thanks

[@dendriloquist]

Brilliant explanation... you just opened my mind for treeemolringmod :D

[@TheSweetFix]

That's awesome, have fun

[@wyntube07]

cool pick! and a great demo

[@TheSweetFix]

+wyn stewart Thanks, the picks are a custom order from Steve Clayton.

[@duotonguitars]

hahaha the pictures in the end are TOP!

[@TheSweetFix]

Thank you. This channel is dead, but if you liked those pictures, I took it to a new level with my newest gear video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n52lZImuecmSa8U

[@TATSEL6]

Excellent! Great Job!

[@HAJJ101]

Thanks for the knowledge! Knowledge is power and I'm about to do great things with this🤙

[@tezkakoakpk9367]

wow great sounds

[@MYGAS21]

I have a question about guitar ring modulators that no KZbinr presenting them has managed to answer. My question is this: What is happening exactly when I tune a guitar note so I can hear it at the RM's output? This is logically impossible since the RM's output is ONLY the sum and difference of my guitars frequency and the RM's internal oscillator MEANING the two input frequencies are not present anymore. SO how come I can still somehow hear the frequency of my note? Thank you.

[@DrRussPhd]

very cool . .been looking at something like this just for a different noise coming out of my gear. Great vid, thanks for posting.

[@brianreilly6545]

Excellent, thx!👍🏼

[@user-xc6zw5rc8t]

dude your really awesome

[@tonykeyworth3522]

Excellent - now I'm starting to get it.

[@cooknartwitharoosha4519]

Hello u explain so nice and I am your new subscriber

[@CyberattackWorld]

Thank you. I actually switched channels, and my pedal videos are here now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n52lZImuecmSa8U

[@Twirlyhead]

Even though that does sound like a very superior ring modulator I've never found ring modulation to be usable effect. Great for imitating daleks though. PS. A typo in my original typing of this comment led me to invent the term Rig Modulator - I'm copyrighting that so don't all you effects manufacturers out there go nicking it.

[@TheSweetFix]

I think the key to making it usable is finding ways to reign it in-my favorite technique is to use an expression pedal to control the mix, and then bleeding in the effect only when I bend notes. Also Rig Modulator sounds dope.

[@Twirlyhead]

SWEET FIX Good advice. LOL - "dope" - great.

[@masterhousestudios]

thanks man, you're cool. Hey I've been having trouble with my moog expression pedal, I don't know if it's me or the pedal but I can't seem to hear the difference with the pedal =( some help would be cool, thanks. great videos both of them I agree in everything

[@TheSweetFix]

Make sure you're using a TRS cable to connect it (not a standard instrument cable), and make sure the knob on the right side is rolled as far as it can go clockwise. Also, where are you plugging it into the ring modulator?

[@masterhousestudios]

cool thanks, appreciate it.. Indeed I was using a mono cable, that's probably what happened.

[@masterhousestudios]

the knob is already like that but in the standard position it works weird in the one that says other it goes from dry to wet, is that normal?

[@spankydispanks]

This is my real profile if you wanna check out my music.. cheers!

[@TheSweetFix]

I'm not sure I understand your question about the knob and dry/wet. But if you use plug the expression pedal into "Mix," then what should normally happen is the pedal will control how dry or wet the effect is-and the position of the actual Mix knob on the pedal itself will set the minimum.

[@MargaretHarmer]

Great vid! Very artistic - you must be a Kraftwerk fan :-)
