    The LGE006 is two modules in one pcb, it can be built as either a Ring Modulator or a Gate (VCA). This classic paperface era module was typically found built side by side with both Ring and Gate features.
    From the Catalog:
    “The RING MODULATOR/GATE (MOD) is an AC or DC coupled Ring Modulator and VCA featuring
    superior audio processing capabilities. The Ring Modulator offers two VC inputs in addition to the two signal inputs
    which may be used to perform voltage controlled transitions between full ring modulation and amplitude modulation.
    The VCA can be used as a standard voltage controlled amplifier with either log or linear control voltage characteristics.
    The DC coupled input is useful for using the VCA as a DC multiplier or gate. ”

    A unique feature of this VCA is the Linear CV Input is actually inverted. This will allow you to do some fun tricks when using both CV Inputs. Just be very careful, if your Linear CV signals go negative they have the ability to amplify the signal
    to the full rails of power supply making for a VERY loud output! Ear/Speaker damage levels. The added CV Input attenuators will help keep this under control. You have been warned! :)

    For more information on the circuit, Ken Stone provided a great little write up about it here.
