Dr. ScientistPhreak Digital Ring Modulator Pedal

Dr. Scientist Phreak

Ring mod has long been considered one of the more unwieldy guitar effects, but the Dr Scientist Phreak might inspire you to get weird and wild with your rig. Phreak features three simple controls: Mix, Volume, and the titular Phreak knob, as well as three different operating modes to explore different ring mod sounds. Set mode is traditional ring mod, where you may tune the modulator frequency manually, but LFO and Env modes introduce movement and motion. Eight different LFO shapes including sine, saw, stepped, and random allows you to create fluctuating ring mods with character. Alternatively, Env mode tracks the dynamics of your input source, ramping the ring mod frequency up or down more with louder signals. As a bonus, practically everything about Phreak may be controlled via MIDI, and traditional expression pedal control is available too. Get your Phreak on with this stellar ring mod pedal from Dr. Scientist.
