Venomous Octopus

FTelettronica is an Italian one-man shop in Isola del Liri, founded in 2008. They build faithful clones of rare and discontinued effects, using Alpha pots, Neutrik/Lumberg jacks, and a 2-year warranty.

The Venomous Octopus is a Frostwave Blue Ringer clone, a voltage-controlled ring modulator. Requires 16V AC at 65mA. 540g, 128x152mm, powder-coated. True bypass.

The Frostwave Blue Ringer was an Australian-made ring modulator known for its metallic, inharmonic textures. Ring modulation creates sum and difference frequencies of two signals, producing bell-like tones at mild settings and harsh clangorous noise at extreme settings.
