Behringer RING STINGER 90s Ring Modulator

Full Description

Explore complex modulation and drive

The RING STINGER blends ring modulation with a dedicated drive section, giving you a wide range of harmonic textures. You can introduce metallic overtones that shift and interact with your playing, then push them further with added saturation. This combination works well for creating standout riffs, unusual lead tones, or layered textures in studio productions. With controls for timbre and blend, it’s easy to dial in how pronounced the effect feels, whether you want subtle enhancement or a more dominant, synth-like character.

Deep control with LFO and VCO

The built-in LFO and VCO sections open up detailed sound shaping. Choose between multiple waveforms to adjust how the modulation behaves, then fine-tune speed and depth to suit your playing. The VCO adds another layer of tonal control, letting you shape the core character of the modulation. Together, these controls give you a flexible platform for creating rhythmic pulses, evolving textures, or more controlled modulation effects that sit neatly within a mix.

Ready for pedalboards and modular setups

With both expression and CV inputs, the RING STINGER fits easily into more advanced rigs. You can connect an expression pedal for real-time adjustments or integrate it with external control voltage sources for expanded performance options. This makes it particularly useful if you’re working with synths or hybrid setups. The clearly laid-out controls and multiple footswitches also mean you can make quick changes during a performance without interrupting your flow.

Reliable performance with clean signal path

True bypass switching keeps your unaffected tone intact when the pedal is off, so there’s no unwanted colouration in your signal chain. The unit also offers solid audio performance, with a wide frequency response and good dynamic range to handle different instruments. Its sturdy housing and clearly spaced controls make it easy to use on busy pedalboards, giving you a dependable option for both live and studio use.
