Maestro Ring Mod Carrier Freq.

[dubiousss]

So i got this thing nulled and working perfectly even on the high freq.s, then while trying to hook it up to a vanishing point it starts bleeding all over me like a hemophiliac. Maybe some wires crossed but now its like the 1495 cant handle the carrier so I lowered its signal (r37 to ~8k) but its still no good on the high freq.s. I hope I havent damaged the 1495 as it was a one of ebay thing (cermaic dip). Well, nothing to do but another reflow.

ARRGGG now, after being boxed up, its randomly switching between bleeding and no bleeding...

So it just flips back and fourth randomly while you have it on?

My maestro ring mod project null is really touchy - if the source is line instead of guitar level, for example, there is more bleed...even minute amounts of audible noise floor will create bleed...You can almost think of it like a noise gate or VCA - ANY noise seems hit the (low) threshold and create bleed. This circuit has notoriously finicky tuning- it could be something is wrong, but even if you had it "perfectly dialed in", the bleed behavior is likely to vary depending on what your input source is.

Between the tuning issues, bleed through and complex power supply this is one complex, high maintenance project. But so musical!!

I have some bleedind carrier too in my C.Anderton RM.

Anyone could indicate a very simple noise gate, just like an on/off switch, nothing much complex or sophisticated...

The C.A. ring mod has some bleed through...it's a known issue.

Thanks, John!

It's a more complex than I wish, but sometimes we wish the impossible.

:icon_mrgreen:I was looking for a more "tricky" stuff...
