FREQue II Ring Modulator
The Dacs FREQue II is a captivating rackmount ring modulator that takes your guitar's sound on a wild, otherworldly journey. This dynamic effects unit harnesses the power of amplitude modulation to create mesmerizing tones that blur the line between the natural and the alien. At its core, the FREQue II is a sophisticated ring modulator, taking your guitar's signal and multiplying it with an internal oscillator to generate complex, shimmering harmonics. But this is no ordinary ring mod - Dacs has packed it with an array of intuitive controls that allow you to sculpt these unearthly tones with precision. Tweak the Frequency knob to dial in the pitch of the internal oscillator, morphing your guitar into everything from glitchy, metallic textures to ethereal, bell-like pads. The Depth control lets you adjust the intensity of the modulation, unleashing anything from subtle, shifting overtones to intense, pulsating soundscapes. And the unique Morph function allows you to seamlessly blend between two distinct ring mod settings, opening up a world of evolving, shape-shifting tones. The FREQue II has been a secret weapon for adventurous guitarists like Jonny Greenwood, who used it to craft the otherworldly textures on Radiohead's "How to Disappear Completely." Its ability to transform your guitar into something alien and captivating makes it an essential tool for any sonic explorer.
