Special Ring Modulator effects
Octaver
The Ring Modulator works great as an octaver (adding a low octave). Enable the TRACKING parameter, set FREQ to 500 Hz, and turn down HI CUT to 500 Hz or lower.
Tremolo
You can configure the Ring Modulator to act as a tremolo, by turning down FREQUENCY all the way.
Pedal control
Attach a pedal to the FREQ parameter, to create an "Evil Whammy" effect.
