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…

My Baby loves his new baby!
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
Finally! A ball my 107 lb. pitty/pointer mix can’t destroy. He has torn up every single “indestructible” toy in a day or so until now. He peels fabric and fur off non-rubber toys. He is a 4-legged shredder. I’ve added pictures of him for a size reference of my dog versus this product. I know I had wanted that when shopping for this item.
This ball is now his beloved “baby.” He goes absolutely insane looking for it, chewing it, chasing it, and even sleeping with it. He won’t rest unless he knows exactly where it is. It is his only toy, and he is good with that. After getting this home, I tried giving him other choices, but he won’t touch them.
I was worried that he would rip it apart by putting his teeth in the holes, but so far, not a scratch. It is soft enough to collapse just enough to keep it from cracking when his jaws crush it but not so soft that he can rip it to sheds. The holes are large enough to prevent a suction or vacuum effect on his tongue or mouth. For his size jaws, it is a perfect fit. Other dogs might have problems with suction or be able to get their teeth in those holes and rip it apart. Who knows?
The older version of the Chuckit squeaky ball was his favorite for the year and a half he had it, but the way they make them now, he peels off the orange triangle in hours flat, the squeaker falls out (choking hazard), and then he rips it apart.
I’m going to stock up on these. I can’t imagine how crazy he will be if they ever stop production or change the materials.

Best Balls Ever!!!
Size: Medium
These are the best balls ever! We have 2 very active ball loving dogs and these bounce very well and they actually hold up with active play and chewing. They still look brand new after daily use for months!

Finally a ball my power chewers cannot destroy
Size: Medium
I have two dogs, an American Bully and an American Pit Bull Terrier, and both of them love to chew. Most balls last a very short time around here before they are shredded or missing big chunks. This one has actually held up. They chase it, tug on it and sit and chew on it, and it is still in one piece with no pieces breaking off.
One of my favorite things is being able to put food inside. I add some kibble or small snacks, and they will happily sit and work on it for a long time. It keeps them busy, gives them something safe to chew, and they get a little reward while they play. When they are done, I just rinse it out and it is ready to go again.
If you have strong jawed dogs that usually destroy toys, this ball is worth trying. Mine really enjoy it and I feel better knowing they finally have a ball that can keep up with them.

My dog LOVES this ball
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
Does your dog destroy tennis balls in seconds?
Yes? Then your dog NEEDS this ball!
It's squishy like a tennis ball, fits in ball launchers (even the cheap ones) and bounces when it hits the ground.
My dog has been literally playing with this ball all day and not a single mark on it!
The only bad thing is that it does not float.
Definitely worth the money!
Put it in your cart!

Perfect for ball demolishers
Size: Medium
The dogs love the chuck it brand. I don’t know what it’s made of but they go crazy over them. Will not play with another ball. Wonder if it’s “laced” with an addictive scent. Have pits. Very durable. Not able to chew to pieces. Last for about 6 months before there is a small break. I keep a back up because when the ball goes missing the house is in chaos. 😆 🤪
