If you put it to good use and lay down a track with it, post it, I'd like to hear what it can do applied in an actual song. So far everything posted on Youtube and Catalinbreads site is just snippets of funky sounds, no tunes.

I've heard that ring modulators are best used on drums and other atonal sound sources, since the tones they are are mathematically based, not harmonically based.

I find it kinda interesting that it is being marketed for guitar. It definitely makes for some "interesting" sounds that I could see working in very limited situations. The one youtube video for it suggests that it gets that Black Sabbath "Paranoid" solo sound down, I couldn't disagree more. To me the sound is just too "out there" to be useful, then again, maybe I'm just gettin' old..............I can hear myself rantin' from my rocker down the road "Back in the day I had nuthin' but a Gibson L6S, a fender amp, and an EH Big Muff, but we made do!!!!.......Walked to band practice 5 miles uphill both ways"........ :lol:
