Man, I love it! I have it second to last in my chain and I think its best there. I have a Fairfield Unpleasant Surprise afterward to add some glitchy brokenness to certain settings. Ring mod blended with clean bass into unpleasant surprise sounds like the opening scene in Terminator 2 where the humans are fighting the robots.
As far as how it does with bass- Amazing. The clean blend helps keep the low end with certain settings (bitcrush, pitch shift, and ring mod specifically). The reverb at full wet is thunderous, no clean blend needed.
Heres that robot war setting for anyone who's interested:
Clean Ring Mod
Ctrl 1 - between 1 and 2 o clock
Ctrl 2 - 9 o clock
Tone - 10 o clock
Ctrl 0 - minimum
Vol - 2 o clock
Mix - 11 o clock
Run that into an Unpleasant Surprise with the gate set aggressively, or any other gated fuzz should work. Then I boost it with an OD before the BitQuest to give it some extra oomph. I love it. I'll try to record a clip of that one soon.
