Ring modulators takes two inputs and outputs the sum and difference of the frequencies present in each waveform. That's the easiest way to explain what it actually does.

Love Radius..By the way you can have up to 8 steps in the step modulator...and you can envelope trigger it..plus trigger most of the waveforms..plus Curt said their will be a firmware update to bring a stereo sounding signal to Radius..great news for stereo set ups like I have..will bring it to a whole new level...

very cool pedal! man, Red Panda makes some really great stuff. by the way, I've always found that scene from Alien slightly humorous. not that the big chap killing Brett is funny but Jonesy's reaction is like; "ah man, sucks to be you." such a classic cat.

LOVE the Big Ears shirt! Great demo, but so cool to see another Big Ears attendee!

Been looking at these expandable D'Addario pedal boards so that as we alternate or want to add pedals over time, the board can potentially accommodate them. P.s...enjoy your channel Tom.

Sounds great!!! Definitely more versatile than I thought! Love the video editing at the end here hahaha

I’m surprised you haven’t made the jump to MIDI, any particular reason why? Half the pedals on your board would benefit from it. I just ordered a PirateMIDI Bridge6 for my board and can’t wait to hook it up 😃

Beautiful pedal, and great demo- thanks you.

Can I ask your opinion: I’m a bassist, but I’m wondering if this could replace my phaser & chorus, while adding trem and of course the weirdness:). Is it possible to get clean phase shifter and chorus sounds?

Thanks!
