[sdiy] Passive Ring Mod

[Sudhu Tewari]

I've been playing with a simple ring mod design 
(http://www.synthfool.com/ringmod.html). I'm having issues with getting a 
clean sound with a normal line out level. I get decent result with 
oscillators that put out 5V signal, but most of my gear is at normal line 
out level, around 1V I think. I tried boosting the signal on input and 
carrier with LM383 7W amps, probably a bit much but I had 'em lying around. 
Seems like I'm overdriving the ring mod and it ain't sounding great. Plus if 
the carrier is a hotter signal it drown out the input...

Anyone have a good idea for the right kind of buffering to get my inputs 
happy?


thanks
