Which one has the least clock noise/bleed?
- Metasonix TM-1 (second version) has tons of bleed with the carrier turned up. Works better with higher output (line) instruments. Don't have it anymore
- Metasonix TM-1 (first version with switch of CO) has less than the second, but it is still there. I feel like it works better for guitar.
- Lastgasp Sick Pitch King - mine has bleed but UG's doesn't. No blend but I didn't notice any noise out of the direct output. It's the most harsh and loud (outside of the metasonix but that one has that waveshaper thing, and this one is more useful).
- Lastgasp Sick Pitch King Jr. - There is a slight volume drop and it is a little noisy when the osc gate is on. It sounds good but it doesn't peirce like the og one. No volume, just blend.
- Copilot Planetoid 4-knob - kinda the most round sounding to me of all of them. It was the least harsh out of all of them. It also seemed to be really quiet(noise wise, not volume).
- EHX Frequency Analyzer (40v 2000s model big box) - it's noisy and always has sound except when bypasses (pretty quiet there) but it's one of my favorite sounding ones.
- Carlin Ring Mod - haven't built it yet, but will report when I do (I think you have to supply the CO though)
- Moog MF-102 - It was the cleanest sounding while still being harsh (other than the copilot). It was pretty quiet and awesome. I don't remember the LFO making any noise either, but I usually had that off.
The Metasonix has the most noise and bleed followed by the SPK and then the EHX FA. Copilot and Moog are the quietest. I usually run fuzz before ring mod and rarely play clean through them (ehx and spk sound the best when I do though, to me)
I also use Raptio in the LAL 46 for some neat ring mod-like effects sometimes. The "Ring Mod" on the Crystal Dagger is just a fast phaser and sounds dead. Same with the Infanem Faye Sing on really fast.
I swear I have another one somewheres...I'll think of it, haha.
