That circuit is based on the NE565/LM565 phase-locked loop, with no diode ring in sight. Not that Craig is necessarily the definitive source for musical effects nomenclature, but I can't possibly see calling it anything else.


Admittedly, in that book Craig says “Technically speaking, this project isn’t a ring modulator but a balanced modulator, which is easier to construct. The sound is essentially the same. "

I didn’t know that.
And wasn’t one of Jimi Hendrix’s rapid picking techniques also labelled “tremolo”?
