Moogerfooger Ring Modulator MF-102
My first first-hand introduction to ring modulation was the Yamaha CS-50. Once I grasped the full sci-fi, mad scientist potential of that effect I knew I needed something like that for guitar. It was that overwhelming, irrational need to make dissonant robot sounds is what led me to this effect. And the warped bells, those are another major draw to ring modulators. Enter the Moogerfooger!
But you know what else the MF-102 can do? Immerse everything in the most gorgeous tremolo. How gorgeous you ask? A majestic sunset over the water with a perfect later summer, not quite fall, breeze. Yeah, that gorgeous.
