Warm Audio RingerBringer
Warm Audio · pedal
The Warm Audio RingerBringer is a 100 percent analog ring modulator pedal built as a tribute to the Moog Moogerfooger MF-102, using TL072ADR op-amps and MMBT3904 transistors to replicate and extend the Moog's iconic sound. LFO, MOD, FREQUENCY, and RATE controls give a wide palette ranging from rich tremolo-like pulses to bell-like tones and alien, metallic textures. It is designed to work equally well in guitar pedalboards and modular synthesizer rigs, reflecting its heritage as a synth-world effect adapted for guitar. Reviewers frame it as reviving a classic, often hard-to-find modular ring modulator effect at a guitar-pedal price point. Suited to experimental, ambient, and psychedelic players looking for ring modulation textures well beyond conventional modulation pedals like chorus or phaser.
