Maker: Rainger FX
Model: Minidrone
Condition: New
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…

It looks really cool and striking.
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Really cool and beautiful watch. Although my specific unit runs 5 seconds fast every day—at first it’s annoying, but eventually you stop caring. 🤣

A Beautiful Timepiece at an Awesome Price!!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I have lusted after this watch for four months. I first tried on a similar model (stainless steel band with a green face) in a local jewelry shop (Spitz Jewlers, Walnut Creek, CA, USA). It was "love at first sight," even if I didn't love the white lines on the face from 12-6 and 3-9. At the time, the MSRP was $775.
The MSRP has since increased to $795. But I bought this beauty on Amazon.com for only $524.99; after applying the cash-back from my Prime credit card, this watch costs only $498.75. This was "the offer that I could not refuse," to quote from "The Godfather."
Accuracy could be better: after only a few days, it is now 7 seconds behind my phone (to which I set my new watch). But I don't really care about that all that much. This is why I rated "accuracy" at 4 stars, but my overall review is 5 stars.
My video shows the date changing suddenly at 11:59:59pm, just how I want it; in another photo, you can see that my Seiko changes the date more slowly, which I do not like.
This watch is absolutely phenomenally beautiful. If you're on the fence over whether to make this purchase, then I would say "go for it!" You will not find a prettier, more accurate watch at a lower price in ANY store in the entire USA.

Classy and sporty. Great value!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Excellent watch for the price. Looks sporty and dressy. More towards dress watch. Blue is dynamic. Strongly recommend blue for sporty feel. I was thinking of aqua terra. This come close to it with a price less than what i would have paid my state tax for omega aqua terra. My only concern is bracelet which i feel kind of OK. Better bracelet design would have made this watch much superior. 21 lug width is awful. Other than that, nothing to complain.

Stunning Gentleman's Watch
Color: Grey
This is my second Tissot watch. It's quite stunning in person. The online photos don't do it justice. It has the look and feel of a much more expensive gentleman's watch which makes this purchase a great bargain. Tissot is a great reliable Swiss made watch brand. My first Tissot watch which is probably more than 20 years old still runs great. Very pleased with this purchase.

Good Tissot Watch
Color: Grey
Arrived on time, in its original box, include a 2 year international warranty, into the box include a book with the Tissot brand history in Switzerland. Algo a second book with a whole catalog of Tissot watches men and women.
The watch looks better when you put in on your wrist. The “naval” blue really gives the clock a classy look. The stainless steel workmanship is really good, the metal is bright and perfectly polished. The metal wristband quality is very good, did not have any problem to adjust the size , I went to my preferred clock workshop for this job, they extracted a few pieces of the band to fit to my small wrist size. Have to get used to the butterfly latch, but after a few days, now I learned to open and close it without any effort. The clock it’s very accurate, I’ve been using my Tissot for near a month and it just increased a few seconds per week. I do the setup and check accuracy with my pc clock. In short, It”s a good value watch, nice, good looking, accurate.
