to use as a guitar effect, first you'll need to match the levels of the
guitar to work with the ringmod. the cgs46 stompbox adapter will do
that... so the guitar would go into the ring input cgs46; the boosted
output at SIG2 would go to the input on the ringmod; the output of the
ringmod would go to RO on the cgs46; and the ring output would to yr
guitar amplifier.
but you'll also need a carrier signal. most guitar ringmod pedals have
a vco built in as a carrier; sometimes their frequencies are modulated
by the guitar signal. in th MFOS ring modulater ray uses a simple
resonanting VCF which produces a nice sine wave, or you could build a
full VCO. either way, the simple diode ringmod starts to get more
complex...
