Real ring modulator mod help

The CGS design calls for “1N60 or 1N34A, or any other germanium diode. It is best if they are matched for voltage drop. Schottky signal diodes could also be used, e.g. BAT48‘“

Well, where are the pictures @Dud? You can’t tell us that and not show it off! I’m interested in the transformers you used and how well it works, so video too!

Wait…
Is that…

People are talking about germanium diodes, so I feel really young again. Those pretty glass-enclosed baubles of my youth.

@fredrik and @antoine.pasde2 wait are you guys saying there’s another piece of kit that’s actually called “Dia de los Muertos?” If so that’s hilarious-I meant to compare it to the holiday!

(I think we were both commenting on your ElectroBOOM reference, not the holiday. At least I was :slight_smile:)
