Phreak
The scare around ring modulation is real, because the atonal chaos is difficult to tame. Phreak bridges the gap between the musical and the experimental.
Phreak takes the wild, unpredictable character of classic ring mod and gives it the one thing that ring mod is certainly not renowned for – control. Get the Tuning Mode on and hold the bypass stomp: it instantly tunes its frequency to the note you’re playing. Suddenly, that chaos becomes a melodic, shimmering companion to your playing rather than a fight against it.
Engineered for Flexibility:
Analog Mix & Volume: Use the Mix knob to blend in just enough “alien radio” textures while keeping your original signal’s weight and punch.
Three Dynamic Modes: Choose Set for manual dialing, Envelope to make the frequency react to your pick attack, or the 8-waveform LFO for rhythmic movement that ranges from subtle sines to glitchy random steps.
Hidden Depths: We’ve included 7 DSP sub-modes (reverbs, bitcrushers, and more) to push Phreak beyond the traditional ring mod territory.
Pro Integration: Full MIDI control and a Multi-Stomp for tap-tempo or momentary sweeps mean it plays as well on a pro touring rig as it does on a synth-laden studio desk.
Hand-built for guitar, bass, and synths, Phreak takes what felt like instability and makes it your new favorite “secret weapon”.
