Green Ringer

The Green Ringer is one of the classic effects created by Dan Armstrong. A slightly dirty unique ring modulation type effect. When single notes are played into the Ringer an octave up effect is produced. When two or more notes are played at the same time it behaves more like a ring modulator. I`ve found the octave up effect to be the most pronounced from the 10th fret and up. You can get some pretty cool and weird sounds from this thing.

I etched the pcb myself for this project. I matched the components recommended here, but I`m not sure it made a whole lot of difference. The enclosure is finished with a black/green/white "swirl" paint job, I learned how to here. And..the icing on the cake: A green LED! Do a search for "Green Ringer" on Youtube and you`ll find some cool demos. Now..some pics!
