  • Initially developed for telephone signal transmission, ring modulation found favor among avant-garde musicians looking to experiment with unconventional tones. the Moog modular synth in the 60s and guitar pedals in the 70s expanded '“ring mod’s” reach, shaping ambient, rock, and electronic music. Its unmistakable sound and enduring effect on classic TV and film cement ring mod as an essential tool for sound design and production.
