way more useful then you would think
the older I get the more and more I love this effect I just used it on some arpeggios on a recording the other day... I had the Octavia on and then added ore ring modulation LOL, it was NASTY! But in context it turned out to be rather beautiful. Soloed out the sound was hideous, but the clang was anything but hideous in the song... the freq analyzer is really the premier guitar ring modualtor of its day... the only thing better is the Lovetone one but you can't get those.

I love putting the Moog through it...it's instant Radiophonic Workshop headfuckery. Once again, the smaller XO version doesn't quite have the same level of insanity to it for some reason.

Visible as the label "FREQ. ANL." on Belew's effects rack in Adrian Belew: Electronic Guitar at 2:36, with an explicit mention at 2:23. It was also used on Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral, as mentioned in this April 1993 Guitar Player interview.
Adrian Belew: Electronic Guitar (1984)
I have several guitar synthesizers, a harmonizer and frequency analyzer, which is a sort of ring modulator...
Guitar Player, April 1993, "Adrian Belew & Trent Reznor: Nine Inch Nails Meets The Lone Rhino"
For his self-described "rambling" solos, Belew dusted off several vintage effects. "I used some sounds that I don't normally put on records for anybody else," he notes. "I also ended up climbing around in the back of my rack and connecting things together in ways I'd never done before. The two things they liked the most were the Foxxtone - an old '60s fuzz box - and an Electro-Harmonix Frequency Analyzer, an old version of a ring modulator. One of them suggested, What if you put those sounds together? So I did for the first time, and we got some really nice things."
Used on "Exithouse" and "The Rapture", as specified in this July 20, 2012 breakdown of a A Fine Pink Mist gear list printed in the October 1996 issue of Young Guitar.
