FT has been lifting traces and making really nice looking pedals for a while now. If I'm not mistaken, I think it all started shortly after I put out the PLL schemo many moons ago. I think their PLL clone may have been among their very first pedals. I'm not really into esthetics when it comes to pedals, but I like their work. Clean and neat.

Jezuz! Sorry folks. Don't know what happened there. Damn I hate posting from my phone. If an admin could clean that up, muchos gracias.

:lol: Possibly the first time I've seen a quadruple post. :idk:

Doesn't bother me one bit. :hug:

Yeah, I agree. Aesthetically their pedals aren't much to look at, but they've been sounding pretty good. :)*

A Molecular Disruptor with a frequency shifter patch will be, I guess, slightly easier to obtain than a IE Arcing Prisms? (the latter of which, I must attest, is quite awesome, though this patch sounds very tasty as well.)

Probably, but the Arcing Prisms loos and sounds soo damn good. And it's smaller too!
Not to say anything bad about Dr. Rolo patches because they're always amazing and I loved the ones on my MD and oh God why did I get rid of that what was I thinking etc etc

I've been digging in on my molecular disruptor lately and exploring the 32 effects I have available and there are a BUNCH in there that get into ring mod territory. I think my favorite of the bunch is the ringolay patch. Even without the delay, the ring sounds so chimey.

So these are available now - price is better than I thought it would be - you could get one of these and a Doc Sketchy Freak Shift - 2 good analog freqshifts - for less than you'd pay for a Cwejman (pre-price explosion) or Sputnik, which afaict are digital, a year ago. Times are tough, but there's some good times to be had too :snax:

I wish I had some Eurorack. :snax:

Also, these don't come up too often & I didn't think it'd sell this quickly:

Perhaps the most expensive ring mod I've ever seen for sale?

Yeah, Cwejman prices have been out of control since he died earlier this year- culmination of the cvlt of electronics designer/builder as artist? :idk: :snax:
