Very nice write up! :thumb:

Yeah, the MF-102 is difficult to beat.(Was my first ring mod.) Haven't played a Feber yet. (Still want one.) The Outer Rings is a fun pedal. (Definitely not a standard sounding modulator.)

Slightly outside the scope of this thread, but I've always wanted a DBA Octave Clang. Might have to pick up a V2. :snax:

Agreed that the MF102 is a king's king. I recently re-acquired one...took forever to find one that didn't cost an arm and a leg and I feel fortunate to have found one for $300 (which still sounds crazy to me). I had tried a handful and the Feber was the only one that really impressed me. I find you can also get a wider variety of sounds with the Feber but it's the only one I've tried that has a similar pleasing charm to the moog.

I just sold my old beat up one on eBay. Did you get it?

Feeling like I should maybe get a Randy's Revenge again. Sold one about 6ish years ago. I never get round to using ring mods too much but considering it's size and sound it's just soooo goood.

Yes, exactly! It is from a project intended to make a ring modulator that is replicable and accessible for EAM performance

Picked up a Red Panda Radius on that holiday speshial- it’s really good! Sounds very nice- really it can do everything the Mf-102 can aside from the magical trem sounds- something about that moogy circuitry does actually set it apart. But for 1/4 the size, I’m all about the radius life.

Radius can do trem, and vibrato too, though I'm not sure if it's precisely like the Moog. However, it does have presets and a wide range of programming with the exp pedal. I have one preset with vibe and the other tremolo that I quite like.
