The extended features of the String Ringer give it such numerous sound possibilities that it would be foolish to attempt to do them all justice here. We are therefore NOT providing sample settings (so please don‘t bother to ask) but relying instead...

(unless A and B are harmonically related which has less atonal results). A special case (which the String Ringer exploits) is when A and B are the same thus giving an octave above (A+B). Low-pass filtering (i.e. removing harmonics from) one or both inputs can greatly increase the purity of the output signal.

200-600 ohm and connected via a suitable impedance matching transformer for high impedance 50kohm output (the inexpensive in-line balanced XLR to 1/4” jack type is ideal). The String Ringer is optimized for instrument level (-20dBm to -15dBm), which gives the best Drive range and Blend balance.

STRING RINGER manual VCO out Use this as a synthesizer! Together with Carrier In, this acts as the insert point for the VCO (or “carrier') thus providing access to the VCO (regardless of whether there is anything connected to the Carrier In).

STRING RINGER manual CARRIER in This acts as a second input it you want to ring mod two external signals. Connecting a jack will break the path of the VCO. When nothing is connected, the VCO out is “normalized” to the Carrier In (i.e. no jack cable needs to be connected for basic operation).

This requires making a special cable consisting of one stereo (TIP-RING-SLEEVE) jack “A” (which plugs into the String Ringer) and two mono jacks “B"+“C" (which plug into a passive volume pedal, B to the output and C to the input). Wire the following connections: A TIP to C TIP, A RING to B TIP, A SLEEVE to B+C SLEEVES.

This requires making a special cable consisting of one stereo (TIP-RING-SLEEVE) jack “A” (which plugs into the String Ringer) and two mono jacks “B"+“C" (which plug into a passive volume pedal, B to the output and C to the input).

STRING RINGER manual CONTROL PANEL LFO DEPTH The action of this control depends on the status of the LFO/Unlock toot switch (i.e. whether the LFO is activated or not) and the Oct./ Fling footswitch (i.e. whether you‘re in octave or ring mod mode). Ring Mod Mode: 1.

STRING RINGER manual LFO RATE Determines the speed of the LFO. The LFO has a range from very slow up to low audio frequencies (which allows FM effects to be heard at the VCO output, as well as driving the ring mod bananas. The action (rate) of the LFO is shown by the yellow LED.

VOLUME Boost and volume control. This is not in the original Lovetone pedal. This is modified of the ELTA music. LFO Selector switch Ring Mod Mode: Selects triangle or square wave on either pulse width (“PW”) or frequency modulation of the VCO.
Page 12
STRING RINGER manual VCO Selector switch Selects sine, triangle, and saw tooth or square waveforms on the VCO. The purest ring mod sounds will be obtained using the sine wave (see Power Jack section on how to calibrate sine wave purity). The VCO sine output is not 100% pure.

STRING RINGER manual Oct/ring Ring Mod Mode: The LFO Depth/Manual control then scales (fine tunes) the (now static) square wave output affecting the VCO Freq. or PW (whichever is selected on the LFO selector switch). Increasing the LFO Depth/Manual amount in “UP” will push the VCO Freq/PW in one direction, and in “DOWN"...
POWER ⚡ Bypass switch. Switches the unit on or off (as indicated by the red LED) HINTS & TIPS “Dalek” effects: Feed a mic or voice signal into IN and dial up a low frequency “jitter" on VCO Freq. with VCO square selected. Wares: tones: Use mid VCO Freq.
