The amazing sound of a robot crying

I think ring modulators are really underrated, though I understand that they don't work in most musical situations. I just think something's so... just cool about them and I'm not sure I can really put it into words. I find its glitchy squeaks and metallic sound strangely beautiful. Closest I can do beyond that is to say you should listen to The Mars Volta's "Roulette Dares (The Haunt of)" and hopefully you'll see what I mean regarding its beauty.

"I'm using it instead of the Moog ring modulator that I usually use, because it has more variety in it. Really cool pedal."

"Awesome ring modulator. Brand new. Only used in the demo below. Adds moving harmonies to the note or chords being played. Unlike other Ring Modulators, the Frequency Analyzer has controllable high order filters that reduce cross distortions and enhance the variations. The course and fine control let the user set a single frequency that will then be both added and subtracted from the original note or chord. Blend control lets you mix the new notes with the original." - Weiner about Frequency Analyzer.

Like his bandmates, Stasik goes big on his pedalboard. His signal enters the board through a Boss TU-3 tuner, then hits a loop switcher controlling a Moogerfooger MF-1-1 Lowpass Filter (controlled by a Moog EP-3 expression pedal), 3Leaf Audio Wonderlove envelope filter and You’re Doom fuzz pedals, an Xotic effects Bass BB Preamp, a Boss OC-3 Super Octave, a DigiTech Bass Synth Wah, and an Electro-Harmonix Frequency Analyzer ring modulator.

“The Line 6 Helix is amazing - super flexible in terms of routing (compared to a normal pedal setup) and programming. It can integrate with other stompboxes easily, and can send MIDI to control Ableton Live. I also use Line 6’s M9 a lot for gigs and all sorts - it’s brilliant.

If I had to pick a few pedals, though, it’d be the Digitech Whammy, EHX Memory Man and EHX Frequency Analyzer.”
