Boss GX-700 Ring Modulator

Boss have never released a pedal ring mod, but they decided to put one in the Boss GX-700 rack for some reason. it's pretty good.. just showing the different frequencies, and 'intelligent' mode with a few chords and random playing.

Personally, i think the trem sounds in the ring mod effect are better than the dedicated tremolo mode. changing the dry and effect levels changes the speed and wave shape a bit too.

does this thing sync to midi clock? can it be set as a slave?

[TheColdNorthWind]

@bergweg - i don't know a great deal about that stuff, but you can switch presets and control multiple parameters with a midi controller and midi expression pedal yes. not sure about what the 'slave' thing involves.. it has midi in out and thru.

can you control this with CC from a MIDI board, or only on the actual device?

[TheColdNorthWind]

@Fl3nix - yes. i haven't used a Midi controller with it for about 9 years, bt i had all sorts of fun adjusting delay time and feedback simultaneously via a midi expression pedal. you may want to check the manual, but i think it can control up to 4 parameters at once.

Thanks - I'll have another look at mine now you've shown me the slow trem effect - all I ever got from it was the mad Dalek noise.
