The Green Ringer turns your guitar into an agent of chaos - and I love it
Disclaimer: I do not have an "actual" Green Ringer, but I have a clone made by a former coworker. If you're looking for some crazy pedals for a reasonable price, check out Dongeomac on Reverb!
It's a little box of chaos, and the overtones that it generates are the glitter sparkles on top. If you can find a real Green Ringer, or get your hands on a hand-made Dongeomac clone, it'll be another option on your tone palette to turn your guitar into something utterly alien.
If you run it after a distortion like a RAT, it'll turn your tone into an absolute buzzsaw.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Run it after dirt pedals to add some gnarly overtones!
Artist usage
Add artist
Installed in one of Zappa’s Les Pauls and the Hendrix-burned Miami Stratocaster, as mentioned by guitar tech Arthur “Midget” Sloatman in this October 1995 Guitar Player interview archived on Zappa Books.
In the '70s and '80s he used a variety of instruments: two Fender Stratocasters with Performance necks, DiMarzio or Seymour Duncan pickups, and Floyd Rose tremolos; a '70s Gibson Les Paul Custom: a Fender Stratocaster once owned and burned by Jimi Hendrix (in Miami, not Monterey) with a Performance neck sized to the specs of Frank's SG, an acoustic Black Widow with EMG pickups, and several others. (...) The Les Paul and the Hendrix Strat also housed a Dan Armstrong-designed Green Ringer, which, explains Sloatman, "is a low-pass filter into a DC rectifier circuit. Because it's trying to convert AC to steady DC, it produces an abundance of a second harmonic. It kind of feels like it's feeding back, because you play a note and instantly hear the octave. But any time you play more than one note, it does this horrible modulation stuff, which Frank loved."
