Ring Stinger.

[Tim Escobedo]

Seems if you want diode-ring/transformer ring modulator, it'd much easier to add a noise gate than even try balancing transformers and matching diodes.

But for a quick and dirty build, the passive ring mod is hard to beat. And still has uses, especially if you aren't too finicky about bleedthrough.

I'll be personally be taking a load of pictures and measurements of the ring stinger. That will be form the 15th to the 18th.

Could you get some info?   :wink:

Well I looked at it but it was a pain in the ass to even take apart that I decided against it. My bud was very nervous too and that didn't help. Sometime soon I'm just going to buy one and do this myself.

Whacky sounds !!!
 YEAHH!!!

Any news??

Any ideas which other circuit comes close (sound- and/or circuitwise)?

Take care,

Not sure if you all missed this thread at all, lots of info about matching diodes.  Guitarhacknoise built a passive ring mod, like the ring stinger:

And in terms of matched diodes, someone needs to try all of these:

http://www.nteinc.com/specs/900to999/pdf/nte907.pdf
http://www.intersil.com/data/fn/fn343.pdf

Then we just need matched 1:1 trannies... and a decent amplification system... and a decent carrier nulling system... and a decent LFO...  :?

It would appear that the CA3039, our best bet, is outta production.

Does anyone else want to join me in the diode array datasheet posting party?

MAD1108 samples requested with enough extras to go around....

please please please please please please please
thanks

Thanks for the infos Colin. I doubt that I can help regarding the design of the missing stages.
