TL;DW: Gringer is a full-wave rectifier plugin, like a Green Ringer guitar effect.

Here’s another no-controls wonder… that ‘models’ an actual obscure guitar effect that also has no controls! And it makes horrible unmusical noises, just like the original obscure effect makes horrible unmusical noises! Whee!

Seriously, though, here’s Gringer. It’s like an emulation of the old Dan Armstrong Green Ringer, kinda. No attempt was made to exactly circuit model anything, but it does the full-wave rectification thing that characterizes this effect, you can bypass it by bypassing the plugin, and it’s got a couple of biquad bandpasses (with VERY wide bandwidth) to mimic having analog circuitry and DC-blocking capacitors on input and output.

Stick it on your guitar solo and see what you get. Please don’t stick it on your mastering console. No good will come of that.

Before I remind people of my Patreon (oops too late) I will remind folks that, though Gringer is pretty useless most of the time, I’ve just released PocketVerbs which was so good people had little to say about it and just began using it in a reverby frenzy. If you missed that, check it out. Oh, and one more thing… I’ve been trying to debug a problem a user’s been having with Monitoring, and I think I’ve got it plus I added one final extra feature… VoiceTrick. Now, if you go to the end of Monitoring, you get the signal turned to mono and then played through the speakers with the phase of one speaker flipped. That way, you can sing into a vocal mic in front of your monitor speakers without using headphones. Be sure and position the mic very exactly between the speakers for the best cancellation! It just seemed to belong in Monitoring. Have fun :)
