Circulator Phaser "ring mod" mod

I just built a circulator and modded the range toggle to take the LFO into audio rate when in the middle position.
I put a smaller capacitor from the negative leg of C13 to the cathode of D100.
I don't know the exact value since I pulled it out of a bin of discarded parts, but I assume 0.1uf is fine.
The LFO stops oscillating when the rate knob gets to a certain point, but I didn't adjust the rest of the LFO since this gives you "stock" functionality at the top range of the rate knob when range is in that middle position
 
The LFO would be happier if that 100nF cap went to U3-8 instead of D100.

You can play that LFO game with any modulation pedal and get the ring-mod effect. The DEPTH knob is helpful because it lets you reduce the dissonant tones a bit.
