JHS Pedals - 3 Series Ring Modulator

The JHS Pedals 3 Series Ring Modulator opens the door to a world of sound that is truly out of the ordinary, featuring undulating modulations, metallic textures and surprising harmonies. Its selector switch offers two distinct modes: ‘Earworm’, inspired by the Way Huge Ringworm, and ‘Green Lantern’, which draws on the principle of the Green Ringer to add a natural octave to the signal. It’s the perfect way to enrich a solo with a subtle harmonic touch or venture into experimental sounds that immediately catch the ear.

The Frequency control adjusts the ring modulation oscillator, from slow pulses to higher-pitched, almost bell-like tones. With Blend, you can adjust the mix between your original sound and the effect, whilst Tweak reacts differently depending on the selected mode. In Earworm mode, Tweak adds an auxiliary LFO to make the modulation undulate and give it more movement; in Green Lantern mode, it adjusts the presence of the octave, resulting in a particularly wild sound when used with upstream saturation.

Manufactured by JHS Pedals in Kansas City, Missouri, this Series 3 pedal features intuitive controls, allowing you to explore original sounds without getting bogged down in complicated settings. It’s equally suited to guitarists looking to add a bit of depth to their sound and those seeking strange effects for experimental compositions, psychedelic atmospheres or deliberately unsettling passages. Its centre-negative 9 V DC power supply and 65 mA current draw make it easy to integrate into a pedalboard, whether you use it occasionally for a striking effect or as the core of your signature sound.
