Phreak bridges the gap between the musical and the experimental.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003ePhreak 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngineered for Flexibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eAnalog Mix \u0026amp; Volume: Use the Mix knob to blend in just enough “alien radio” textures while keeping your original signal’s weight and punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eThree 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eHidden Depths: We’ve included 7 DSP sub-modes (reverbs, bitcrushers, and more) to push Phreak beyond the traditional ring mod territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003ePro 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eHand-built for guitar, bass, and synths, Phreak takes what felt like instability and makes it your new favorite “secret weapon”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Ring Modulator Modes, 8 LFO Waveforms in a small form factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom programmed DSP effects with all analog dry signal path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB firmware updating (PC required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated power input circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium parts and components throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Bypass with soft touch relay switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIDI implementation of all digital controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpression pedal\/CV control over Ring Mod Frequency (Phreak)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop mounted audio and power jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and handmade in B.C., Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003ca id=\"knobs\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnobs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePHREAK –\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMode dependent.  Controls Ring Mod Frequency or Frequency Range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMIX –\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSets the amount of dry signal versus wet signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVOLUME – \u003c\/b\u003eAnalog volume control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMODE – \u003c\/b\u003eSelect 1 of 3 operating modes (Set, Envelope, LFO).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWAVEFORM – \u003c\/b\u003eSelect 1 of 8 waveforms for LFO Mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMULTI – \u003c\/b\u003eMode dependent.  Automated Frequency Sweep, Envelope Freeze, LFO Speed Ramping.
