Minifooger Ring

The Moog Minifooger MF Ring is an analog ring modulator designed to provide a unique musical dimension to ring modification. It is based on the Moogerfooger MF-102, incorporating a tone voicing circuit that allows users to dial in a wide range of effects, from octaves and choral dissonance to harmonic undertones and synthesized lead lines. The pedal features the following controls:

1. FREQ: Tunes the frequency of a carrier oscillator to the root note in a scale, offering a refined range for musical adjustments.
2. MIX: Sets the amount of input versus modulated signal, allowing for a wide range of synthesized and bell-type sounds.
3. TONE: A filter circuit applied to the effected signal, providing control over the high frequency chime and buzz.
4. EXPRESSION PEDAL INPUT: Assigned to the Freq control, enabling hands-free control for sound sweeps, pitch shifting effects, and playing between two scales on the fly.

Key features of the Moog Minifooger MF Ring include true bypass, tone control for musical flexibility, battery-powered operation, and expression pedal input control of frequency for key changes and sound effects. The pedal is designed to perform with any guitar, amp, or bass guitar configuration.
