Also, Ryan took an *investigative look* N2 the Gonk vs. Fawn debacle, but no new info than already appears in this thread you are reading rite now, deer reeder
3 Ring Modulator Modes, 8 LFO Waveforms in a small form factor
Custom programmed DSP effects with all analog dry signal path
USB firmware updating (PC required)
MIDI implementation of all digital controls
Expression pedal/CV control over Ring Mod Frequency (Phreak)
PHREAK – Mode dependent. Controls Ring Mod Frequency or Frequency Range.
MIX – Sets the amount of dry signal versus wet signal.
VOLUME – Analog volume control.
MODE – Select 1 of 3 operating modes (Set, Envelope, LFO).
WAVEFORM – Select 1 of 8 waveforms for LFO Mode.
MULTI – Mode dependent. Automated Frequency Sweep, Envelope Freeze, LFO Speed Ramping. Hold in Set Mode while bypassed to sweep frequency momentarily.

i am super interested in both of these, but i think in my setups they will serve totally different purposes.
The Red Panda Radius seems the most tweakable and precise (digital) ring mod i have ever witnessed, and the tracking function - if it really works, and knowing red panda stuff it's reasonably sure it does - is incredible. For the same reasons, and for my aexperience with the Raster two - which shares part of the same structure - i don't think it's gonna be the most immediate ring mod to tweak on the fly.
On the other hand the Phreak is not so deep but super immediate, and if you read the manual it has a few hidden tricks (and modes!) up its sleeve that are gonna make it super fun to use in a live situation.
Anyways, it's gonna be fine to mix these two and the Pladask Feber

I am!
Can't wait to hear what that sounds like.

i'm just a poor unfrozen cave guitarist. your modern ring modulators confuse and frighten me.
