First, you will need a sine wave generator. I would suggest you get a good solid-state oscillator from a surplus dealer or use an analogue synth with the filter resonance turned all the way into self-oscillation as your carrier. Avoid tube oscillators. They sound very nice, but their sine waves are not always perfect and the 48V output could fry your other equipment. Be sure to check the out levels on the solid state oscillator as well. These things usually don't cost much. You may also experiment with other waveshapes as carriers, but since you are using a guitar which is rich in harmonic content, I imagine you'll get better results with a pure sine wave. You may also exceed audible range with most stand-alone generators, and I'm seriously suggesting you try this out. Since this signal is acting as a modulation source, it need not be audible in frequency range to act on your guitar sound. I also suggest you try putting an EQ between your guitar and the ring mod; this will give you more control over which harmonics are affected.
