Description:

The Minidrone is a stripped-down all analog version of the Drone Rainger. It’s really fun to play over, and is a great foundation for improvisation, songwriting and dramatic live performance.

It’s a deep and huge analogue synth, with modulation, made of up to three low-pitched triangle-wave oscillators mixed together.

Two of these oscillators are always in unison whatever the pitch - Drone1 - though very slightly out-of-tune with each other. This creates ‘beats’ between them, a slow, wide-band modulation that keeps the drone very listenable. The pitch is controlled by ‘Pitch1’.

Add in the other tone generator - Drone2 - and you can make any kind of musical interval between the drones; major and minor thirds, a fifth, octaves, or thick unison.
And all points in between - including tasty discordant chords, modulating fast and strangely…

Drone1 and Drone2 are fully independently tuneable - with sweepable knobs - by tuner, or by ear (low volume is recommended for accuracy), with a range of approximately two octaves.

Igor:

The Minidrone comes with an Igor controller - a small pressure sensitive pad - which, when pressed, drops the overall pitch down a tone (two frets), rising back up on release. This creates a darkly atmospheric starting point for writing songs, riffs, or improvising…

Flip the ‘1/2Tone’ switch and this drop-down becomes only a semitone.

These two drop-down options actually make the pedal work in every kind of musical mode - dark and sinister, or happy up-beat ones, weird minor ones, blissed-out ones… the Minidrone is very musical and inspiring to play over.

There’s tons of bass - the tone is deep and electro.
It’s like hitting a low note on some big-ass old synth (Korg MS-20? Yamaha CS-80?) and bending it…!
But in Rainger FX minipedal format (custom enclosure).
It’s an electric tamboura!
In a two-piece band it’s your low-end!

The Minidrone is true bypass, and loud.
You mix the drones in with your clean guitar signal, which passes through the pedal - buffered, but unaffected. It’s designed to be used in series with other pedals, all plugged into a single input.

Accommodation:

Through a window in the front panel you can see a motel scene inside - with car parks leading onto a busy road.
The car headlamps light up.
There’s an eerie streetlamp glow - and the motel sign flashes whenever you press the Igor pad.


FAQs

Can you change the relative volume levels between Drone1 and Drone2?
No - it’s fixed, with Pitch2 being slightly quieter than Pitch1

Can the pitch of Drone2 be set to a harmony below Drone1?
Yes.

Does Drone2 have chorus too?
No, it doesn’t - but in combination with Pitch1 there are plenty of extra ‘beats’ between them.

Can you have a single drone - no modulation?
No. You can have Drone1 (made up of two oscillators in unison), or 1 and 2 together.

Can the tone of the drones be changed at all?

No - only their pitches and overall volume.

How are the drones’ relative volumes set?
Drone2 is slightly quieter than Drone1

Are the tone generators the same as in the Drone Rainger?
Yes they are, though the chorus is obtained in a totally analogue way - whereas in the Drone Rainger it was digital, and was created in conjunction with the delay. The Minidrone has no delay.

How loud is the clean guitar volume?
It can go significantly louder than ‘unity’, though not with a huge signal boost.

Is the clean guitar effected as it passes though the pedal?
No, we’ve been careful to not lose or add anything tonally. It’s buffered - which can be very useful on big pedalboards or long signal paths.

Will the Igor controller work with other Rainger FX products?
Yes - all the Igors are interchangeable.

What are the specifications of Igor?
The pad is 57mm in diameter and 9mm thick, and it has a TRS 3.5mm jack plug, with S unconnected, and a varying resistance between T and R (from megaohms down to a hundred when pressed)

I downtune my guitar to C; can the Minidrone go this low?
Yes it can.

Can the modulation of Drone1 be adjusted at all?
No, it can’t

Can the Minidrone be controlled externally - via the minijack socket?
No, it can’t

What are the pedal dimensions?
104 x 41 x 63mm (at its highest point)

What’s going on in the motel scene?
The motel is under surveillance - a car has picked up a tail, there’s another car being disposed of round the back…

Why is there a rocket parked in the motel car par park?
Nobody knows…

    Great Watch for a Great Price
    Color: Dark Brown band & Rose Gold bezel & Navy Blue dial
    ⌚ “Simple, clean, and gets compliments every time.” ⌚ This Watch has easily become my go-to watch. What I like most is how clean the design is. It’s not flashy, but it stands out in a classy way. I usually pair it with brown shoes and a belt, and it pulls the whole look together perfectly. Another big plus—it doesn’t feel heavy on the wrist. You can wear it all day and forget it’s even there, which is exactly what you want in a daily watch. And the compliments? They come consistently. It’s one of those pieces people notice without you trying too hard. ✔️ Clean, stylish design ✔️ Lightweight and comfortable ✔️ Pairs perfectly with dress or casual outfits ✔️ Gets a lot of compliments If you’re looking for an affordable watch that looks sharp and feels great, this is a solid choice.

    Unusable Adjustment Diagram – Completely Black
    Color: Mesh Strap watch silver balck
    The watch itself looks nice, but there is an issue with the instructions for adjusting the band. The included diagram is completely black and does not show how to make the adjustment. I was only able to adjust the band because I had a diagram from a previous watch. Without that, it would have been very difficult. The manufacturer should provide clear and readable instructions.

    You won’t be disappointed with this one
    Color: All Golden face Big Dial
    Looks great fits great I was skeptical about getting it because I purchased another variation and was not happy at all but I like the way that this one looks so I said I’d give it another shot. I’m glad I did. I’m very impressed with it.

    Stunning Automatic Watch With TopTier Durability and Precision
    Color: Grey
    “I got this Tissot PRX for my cousin’s birthday and bro fell in LOVE instantly. This thing keeps time like a beast, never slows down, never lags. Automatic movement, so no batteries, no drama. Durability? Stupid good. You can hit it, bump it, live life rough, it still looks box fresh. Size wise it was almost perfect. I just had to remove two links, nothing big. It’s light, functional, comfortable, doesn’t weigh you down, doesn’t get in the way but more importantly I can say this watch is in everyone’s eyesight when we wear it. Cause of course I had to get another one! Basically. I gave him a very nice piece as a gift, and now he’s walking around like he owns Switzerland.
