Electro-Harmonix Ring Thing Single Sideband Modulator Pedal

Overview

The Electro-Harmonix Ring Thing is a versatile modulation pedal that offers musicians a broad spectrum of sonic possibilities, from traditional ring modulation to pitch shifting and beyond. With four selectable modes—Ring Modulation (RM), Upper Band Modulation (UB), Lower Band Modulation (LB), and Pitch Shift (PS)—the Ring Thing allows for intricate modulations and unique tonal landscapes.

Its multi-wave selection, low-pass filter, and fine/depth controls enable precise shaping of the modulation effects. Additionally, the pedal features an automatic tuning function that aligns the modulation frequency with the pitch of your instrument, ensuring harmonious integration into your playing. Expression pedal compatibility further enhances real-time control over parameters like carrier frequency or pitch shift amount, making the Ring Thing a powerful tool for creative exploration.
