I like mine before the RingMod…I use the RingMod for either tremelo-style effects or high-freq “glass” on top of my sound. Whereas the FreqBox has a certain “Fuzz Box” quality to me and that’s how I’ve been using it. For clarity, my entire audio chain is currently:
Voyager → Z.VEX FuzzFactory (fuzz) → MF FreqBox → MF RingMod → Frostwave Resonator (filter) → Small Stone (phaser) → Deluxe Memory Man (analog delay)
Mind you, there are also CVs being sent all over creation between the Voyager/FreqBox/RingMod/Resonator which is cool and helps keep motion in the sound.
I think the freqbox sounds best first in the chain, like you would on a regular synth (osc section first). Then you can manipulate it’s sounds with the other foogers. Plus, having the hard sync of the freqbox get a clean signal from your guitar or keyboard is a plus, so if it’s first in line on the chain that really helps. BTW, it sounds amazing with my wurlitzer 200a!!! It sounded pretty cool with my sequential prophet 600 too but the wurly and the freqbox go together like chocolate and peanut butter!!
