What do you guys think? It's true bypass and it sounds pretty crazy. I'm in the market for a ring-mod kinda thing and this one seems pretty versatile. But I don't know shit about ring mods.
I've been on and off about the Heliotrope for months now... mostly just because my GAS list is ever-shifting. I think it can do some really cool things, for sure, and seems to have a greater range of possible sounds than the average ring mod. At certain settings, the bitcrusher whine/drone can be a bit painful to my ears, but again, it's got a pretty wide range of sounds, soooooooo... there ya go.
Maybe a better suggestion would be to gather a list of ring mods out there, check out their demos and compare. Off the top of my head, you've got:
Catalinbread makes some fine products, but the heliotrope never caught my attention. The mario bros sound was pretty cool in the pgs demo, but I never thought to myself "must have."
this on the other hand seems pretty damn cool [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOcMIsyoiTs[/youtube]
Pretty new builder...he makes the barbershop OD which is pretty popular from what I gather.

That is the first ring mod to not give me a headache, WANT.

Yeah, after listening to the other ring mods, the heliotrope sounds very tinny. Tinny isn't really what I'm going for in a ring mod. I kinda dig the ehx, but to be honest, it's just not crazy enough for me. I was thinking the hax might be a good decision a while ago. Maybe i'll check that out again.
i'll start buyin ya lotto tickets, man. might end up cheaper to buy you a few lotto tickets and win ya some lottery money then get parts cost... then again, if i bought you a winning lottery ticket, i'd probably just keep it.
