Hi, I've just come across this group, and have some questions about
Ken's passive ring modulator boards (I like ring mods, so I'm tempted
to try one). Does a passive ring mod drop the signal level enough to
need some sort of gain stage after it (and if so, does it need
anything special, or would a basic op-amp stage do the job?)Also, how
does the sound differ from a standard balanced modulator? My
intended use is to modulate the output of two VCOs with each other,
or one VCO against a preamped signal from another instrument.
