Lee Ranaldo

Ranaldo's 2009 system divides synthesis and octave effects from a drive-and-delay board, with a custom hand-operated infinite-repeat delay mounted on the microphone stand for Antenna.

Effects Bay preserves the 2009 board photographs and position-by-position inventory. Ranaldo's contemporary EQ Magazine interview independently confirms the AD-80, Moogerfooger, Honey Bee, Tube Factor and two-second digital delay, and describes how the AD-80 is driven into feedback as a playable instrument. The Antenna Box receives the ring-modulated side through a custom selector, but the complete inter-board cable path was not published; positions below therefore preserve physical groups rather than asserting one serial chain. The MF-102 expression pedal, custom selector and power supply are omitted because they do not process audio.
